Simon (really helpul) suggested a set of ACI tyres for my new 19" rims.I cant find any info on the web or through the forums about these tyres so thought Id ask around for help. Apparently they are a Michilin copy.Any feedback greatly appreciated.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I priced up some T1S and they were $380 a corner. Ended up going for some Achillies ATR Sport which for $120 each fitted are fantastic- just as good if not better than the factory Dunlops!

I put back on the rear the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno bout you but I'd rather better traction in the wet than dry.. Was doing a right hand turn normally, the road had a dip mid corner and the ass started to kick out, pretty sh*t when your not expecting it and there are cars next to ya.. In the wet btw..
