I'm just going to order the 8.5 +30 and 9.5 +35, saw quite a few people have fitted them without issue. Thinking of going an achilles 123S on the front (only make it in a 40x235) and the Achilles ATR sport 2 35x265 on the rear, should make help keep the balance fairly neutral and get similar tyre wear (220 semi-semi slick on the front and 400 on the rear) as the rears will get lit up a bit, see how I go, might get 123S all round next time if I find it isn't enough grip.Thanks for your help.

Not sure how much grip you will get with the atr's?Most ppl say its good BFYB, but I still rekon they will spin if you have a turbo lol and apparently they can get a bit slippery in the wet...so don't go too crazy thinking they will grip awesomely cause wider tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although heard they last around 10,000-15,000kms? I think your atr 2s will last 20 to 30,000kms maybe? Good luck yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
