They are both remoulds, not that there is anything wrong with that.

If it's just for track tyres then they'd probably do fine, only seen a handful of people use the Maxsports, but never really got any reports on them as to good or bad

These were mentioned to me the other day by a drifter, and he rated both quite highly, with the Achilles being the grippier softer tyre.
Westlakes are much cheaper though

Certainly side by side with an 888, the Westlakes did feel a good bit softer...and cost about 1/2 the price of 888's

If Westlake tyres are anything like their spelling in their ads ie. Sleek Tyres

( Slick tyres) God help you.

Given the spelling you see from native English speakers....really, what a foreign person writes wouldnt give me any concerns at all.

And having seen them being used on a 600hp rwd car...they do seem to be very good.

dinga

Well maybe that is you,re opinion(we all have aright to one ) but if a company wants to be internationally respected then schoolboy spelling is not acceptable.

stevieturbo

That would be "your" of course.

Imagine someone who's native language is English, making basic errors like that. What hope have those in foreign lands got ?
