Tires Achilles or RIKEN

Currently on Achilles... ok naman siya. Sustained 100-140 kph sa express way going to Batangas. Nalubak ba pa nga sa Nasugbu hiway, no damage to rims or tires. Medyo maingay nga lang.

Recently bought some Rikens(Japanese tyre company that is now owned by Michelin and made in EU) for my wife's car and they are smooth AF.

I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.

Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.

I put about 10 laps on a set of Achilles all seasons on stock power at my last drift event and the tires still look new. I had heard bad things about Achilles but so far so good for me.

Achilles tires are really lightweight and can take some abuse

I had gotten some Achilles Desert Hawk UHP tires, they were really good for the price and held up a good while.

Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ

vegas eh. i just got a set of Achilles ATR sport off of Amazon for 47$ each shipped free. they're usually used as cheap track tires but plenty of people use them on all sorts of cars. if your not a brand snob check em out

They suck lol. They are loud, they hyrdoplane like a motherfucker, grooved pavement like overpasses makes them do this weird shimmy thing, and they wear quick. They cause the ABS to kick on super early, and lose traction fast.
