QUOTE(drewn123 @ Aug 15 2020, 01:24 PM) Many ppl have snobbish attitude towards other lesser brands such as Rovelo, Achilles, Linglong, etc etc. Little does they know that many lesser known brand offer great value, these brands gives adequate control for normal driving. If u drive aggressively, its better to stick to well-known brands To be honest, I've used Achilles ATR Sports 2 and it was really rubbish. Don't know why once upon a time ppl were saying it was a good bang for buck tire - the only reason why I gave it a try. Now I'm using Kumho PS31, now this is a bang for buck tire.

QUOTE(drewn123 @ Aug 18 2020, 09:26 PM) Achilles is ok for normal driving (juz ok, its never a UHP).... but i replaced mine after 2yrs even with its thread looking like its new. I think its compound is super lasting but grip is really shitty. Kumho ps31 is uhp.... totally different story as ps31 is benchmarked to ps3/ps4 mar... Achilles is really shit man I won't ever go anywhere near it. But yeah agree the thread wear is really long but zero grip...damn useless tires. Biggest waste of money. Same like Falken ZE912 (I think can't remember exaxt model) I used previously. It's like flushing money away. I paid RM140/pc for PS31 195/50/R15...best money spent lol. But no la can't compare this to PS3...

QUOTE(Balanced @ Aug 18 2020, 10:52 PM) Haven't tried kumho ps31. How is it compared to say...toyo TR1? Both these tires have my size 195/50/16 I used to use T1R in the past. Never tried TR1. For the price u pay for PS31 it's really good bang for buck. It's damn cheap really can't complain. As long as you don't pek corner as if your running on PS4 la haha.

QUOTE(Balanced @ Aug 18 2020, 11:16 PM) I tried T1R before, not fully satisfy since i am quite an aggressive driver. But they say TR1 much improvement.. How is T1R and PS31 if compare both? PS3 satisfied me though.. I don't think TR1 is a successor to T1R though. TR1 is alot cheaper than T1R also last time. I think I used to pay RM400+ per pc for T1R. T1R major problem was the soft side walls always makan tepi irrespective of your camber. The wear is uneven, in the long run your value for money is gone coz gotta change tires prematurely since makan tepi. PS31 Vs T1R? Can't quite equate a best comparison since the last time I used T1R was a really long time ago. I went through two sets of it. My recent set is PS31. Paid RM140/pc for 195/50/R15 on shopee. Damn cheap how to complain hahaha. Grip is really not too bad...but maybe long periods of aggressive driving the grip won't be so good. Your occasional sprint it's more than good enough to me. Not bad in rain too. But I don't drive fast in rain anymore after a really bad accident lol. Anyway I believe PS31 is the cheapest UHP out there too. But don't compare it with PS3 grip. Better comparison probably would be Hankook V12 Evo2?
