KeepLeft Member 240 Member For: 15y 9m 6d Gender: Male Posted 03/06/11 02:03 PM Share Posted 03/06/11 02:03 PM Nitto's are $220 each at that size from one of the sponsors. I put up a review thread about them with a quick summary of my thoughts. At that price, it's highly unlikely that you'll find anything better.

Posted 05/06/11 11:51 AM Share Posted 05/06/11 11:51 AM I just got my turbo 5 weeks ago and it had maxxis tyres on them. I ended up getting some brand new achilles atr sports. First thing I notice is more grip straight away. Not noisy at all. They were 190 each corner fitted and balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would account for the extra grip...Someone on here has run 11.0? on maxxis 19's... I doubt they lack grip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 05/06/11 01:08 PM Share Posted 05/06/11 01:08 PM Yeah they were horrible hahaBut the achilles for 190 each corner for 245/40 r18's I think are pretty good.

I doubt they lack grip...Yeah the tread helps So they grip how long do they last though?The falkens I've had a decent run with very happy with them its just you cringe when putting the foot down as you just left $100 of rubber on the road behind you.They were bloody smooth as when new, it was like you were driving over a heap of pillows (not that I've tried it), sooo soft. I remember doing a mountain run on the way back down when they were newish bit hot the rubber seemed very soft weird sensation in the car I pulled over for a look, they were just very sticky, glued to the road the car moving about slightly.
