Hi Guys
Long time no post
Now to get on with it.
I have been hunting down a new set of tyres for my Mx-5 and when I was talking to one of the dealers he mentioned these.
Achilles 123
I am after a semi slick but don't really want to spend a huge price. Keep in mind I am in AUstrlia so all tyes are a rip off!

Now I have never heard of this brand before so I am wondering if any of you guys have had any expereince with this partilcuar tyre.
I can find info on there other tyres but not the 123.
I also noticed that it is supposed to be the official tyre of the Sepang 1000km. Now that could be a good thing but chance are its also a bad thing. Why would they pick a tyre brand that no one has ever heard of?

My other option that isn't to expensive seems to be the Falken Azenesis RT-615.
Only issue with these are they don't get a good wrap for wet weather performance. That doesn't really matter here much though since it doesn't rain much.
SO in summary does any body know if the Achilles 123 are any good?
Edit:
Hmm Probably should have put the tyre size in first.

And I'm looking at a wear rating around the 180-220 region, don't want anythiong to soft.
Oh and its for a MX-5 SE Probably better know as a Mazdaspeed Miata
