I got 50,000kms out of them, but they were an absolute liability in the wet. N/A's shouldnt break traction at 80km/h!agree'd mine always break traction in the wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the wet, the traction control stays ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a scary incident in the wet with the Achillies but the corner I spun on had a dip mid corner and I prob was going a bit too fast trying to make the light.. But apart from that they have been great.. Edited 15/02/13 11:17 PM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 2d Posted 26/02/13 04:46 AM Share Posted 26/02/13 04:46 AM dNOT falken 452's lolhave to run them at 35psi to get any grip and they start scrubbing out. Now with about 1-2mm before indicators the car skates around soon as I hit boost on stock fg. Not overly great in the wet either, plus tyre life is ordinary!The next I buy will be achilles atr sports. yet to decide whether I go series 1 or series 2 though. But I have 2 dunlop sports max gt's sitting in my shed I got for free going on in a month or . Hopefully they're pretty good. I think they're the tyres Henz had on his rota's and he liked them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grip in the wet is bloody awesome. Even in the dry it will hold 360 in 2nd on a good surface!I went back to a bridgestone 275 for a few weeks, first bend in the wet turned into a massive drift, in the dry could bang 4th and brushfire streets easily.

Getting a ridiculously good price on them. Will report after a few kms to say how they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
