Achilles or Westlake tyres ?

[stevieturbo]

Was at a local event today and chatting to a drift guy.

He was using some Westlake Sport RS tyres, road legal e-marked etc and he rated them very highly, and they seemed to work very well for him for grip. Felt softer than my 888's and a fraction of the price.

But also mentioned Achilles 123s, slightly dearer, but he rates them even higher for grip. Dearer than the Westlakes, but better grip, and still a fraction of the price of 888's
The Achilles being very soft though dont last that long.

Anyone here ever come across them ? I see Driftworks sell the 123s's
