Car is a corolla AE101, tire size is 195/50/15. Rim using Enkei RPF1 Replica..

I didn't get the Achilles as it was outta stock so instead he recommended me a pair of Silverstone Kruizers 1. Daily driven, non track usage, no crazy driving. Abit of hi speeding, a little highway occasionally to KL and back to Melaka. Can say 95% town driving with lots of bumps.

I have to say these are some comfortable tires.. They are pretty good. I'm not expecting performance but these are wow for a comfort day to day use. I can't say anything about wet condition though as it hasn't been raining these 2 weeks..

Don't be skimppy on tires! Tires transfer power to the road and provide grip. It can make the difference between you having an acident and avoiding it so buy the best that you can afford, don't buy those cheapo stuff like Silverstone, etc. I'd rather buy used but still in good condition trusted brand of tires than those. If want rather cheap but still good enough quality, at least buy GT Radial.

Sooner or later down the road, I will be upgrading my tires. Perhaps Toyo Proxxes or Yokohama Parada Spec X..
