Wish the pricing was more competitive with the Achilles ATR Sport 2's.
Seems like nobody else can match their performance for the price.
255/35r18's for $78 a piece for example.

Yes that is exactly what drivers do! Use r7/9 or vr1 type-r compounds on for the front. The S2 is a drift specific compound meant only for grip while sliding, lasting a bit longer while producing good smoke.
As for the Achillies, I tell most drivers that they’ll probably be able find cheaper tires, but that’s not the point. We’re offering semi slick tires with drift specific compounds, not the cheapest commuter type rubber we can get on a tire.
Our compounds are top notch, and our manufacturer has been making sport semi slick retreads for years to allow drivers to use fast compounds for on average 50% less. Case of the vr2 which is just as faster than a r888r yet costs on average $130 less.
Lastly, since where new here and it’s the end of the season we do offer deep discounts right now, pm us for pricing and info
