Here is the link to the chart! bit.ly/2Jtp8f8
At the last event, I headed out early to test on 2 different sets of Achilles tires. The ATR sport 1s, and the ATR Sport 2s. We all know Achilles makes a super competitive tire for Formula Drift, and the 2233 was a flop, so how are their mid range tier tires? Watch this video to find out!

I have the sport 2 on my HHR SS LDK swap, FBO, etc, tuned by zzp at 25 psi and they are great tires. I only drove them twice in the rain since I don't drive my car in the snow/rain but I got caught lacking but the tires gripped fine even at high speeds. Deff a good buy and I will be buying another set for my spare set of wheels.

Hey! Great series. I did a ton of research prior to going with the federal ss595 as my go to tire. The other tire I found pretty good was the nankang ns-20 and now ns-25. Typically a bit cheaper than the federals, definitely less grip and a few less laps. I never did the calculation to cost/lap though. My primary concern is seat time! Hopefully the nankangs come into the series sometime!

*Just purchased a Factory Certified 2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid with 31,000 miles on it🚘🚖 **allabout.wiki/Achilles** The original tires were Michelin Primacy MXV4's. They cost $195.00 and were on back-order from Tire Rack. I drove the car with the Michelin's for 2000 miles and knew that I needed to replace them now because the wet traction was terrible at 33000 miles. Thank You Amazon, got these Milestar MS932 Sport All Season Radial Tire - 215/55R17 98V at $65.00 per tire and they were drop shipped and installed at a nearby Sears in under one hour. On My initial drive home, on all kinds of road surfaces, and at 2mile straight road segment that allowed me to drive in sports mode I hit 150 mph and it stuck like glue to the road. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and I will find out about wet traction, which I am most concerned about. But dry traction with these tires allows me to fly like a bat escaping Hell, there is almost nothing on the road that can keep up, even the motorcycles are left in the dust.*
