I think they are somewhat legit, some pro drifters run them and drift is all about grip. I think we can't put them in the same category than Linglong and Nexen etc. Is there any 315-30 or 305-35? cause 305-30 seems a bit small 25.20" OD.

I certainly appreciate your concern Woody however I think the tire will be fine. The first sign of potential hazards I will pull the tires and opt for a superior product!
:nonono:

Top dollar spent on mods... bottom dollar spent on tires... I hope for your guys' sake these things are somewhat legit.

UPDATE: been driving in heavy rain all day and with standing water and all not a problem with traction, so far so good!

^^ get her on some eibachs :rolling:
The pics make it look like a 4 wheel drive, but it actually looks much better in person. My buddy said the same thing you did but once he seen it he said he didn't think he'd lower it. Where I live the roads are in poor condition, interstate and all from the winter. I am torn between if I should lower it or not

FullSizeRender.jpgFullSizeRender.jpgFullSizeRender.jpgi hope they are working well for you, I bought them for my saleen before I bought my terminator, and they were not the best tires, but they were good tires. it was worth $99 for sure though. this is what they looked like when I put them on my old saleen

well when I first got my saleen, I had some really nice goodyear 315/30/18's on it and i loved them, but when i ran out of tires eventually, i needed some ASAP and i was still paying off my saleen and couldn't afford another set of goodyears, so i bought those Achilles. they were worth the money and i was very satisfied with the look of them and the meat they had. but on the rainy days, grip and drivability was nothing like my goodyear eagles were. however, They were still good tires just not as good as the goodyears i had on them

and btw, i really like your xxr wheels, I am looking to soon buy a set of the xxr 531's which are a ccw rep, how do you like your xxr wheels so far?
