    Don’t get Achilles ATRs. Mine had bulges in the inner side wall after 18 months.

    is it the tire, or is it the over-inflating user?

    The Achilles ATR Sport is a bad tire model. If you need Achilles tires for daily driving, get the 2233. This is roughly the same level as the Neuton NT5000 and Accelera Phi.

    If you need very grippy tires (grippier than Bridgestone Potenzas or Yokohama Advans), get the Achilles 123S. Outstanding track tire although it wears out very easily.

    I used Accelera Alpha on the Fiesta. Oks naman, better than the Hankook Optimo which came stock on the car.

    I kept my tires at a constant 32 psi checked each week. My other tires have never bulged the same way the ATRs did.

    2 of them lang. But I decided to replace all 4 since I lost confidence in them all together.

    I’ve had other low profiles that were set to 32. None of them had the same issue

    I use 32 for ALL the 18" tires I've ever used. No lumps whatsoever.

    The ATR Sport is an awful tire and there's a lot of negative feedback on it - poor grip, poor durability, poor build quality. Which is why Achilles released the ATR Sport 2 soon after, because the ATR Sport was such a dud.

    Even Mang Ben, owner of Ben's OK, adviced me to go for the cheaper 2233 even if he'd make more money with the more expensive ATR Sport because he's gotten bad feedback about it from customers.

    Just because it hasnt happened.. doesnt mean it wont.

    Honda suggests 35F33R for the CTR and on the Civic Sport 235/40/18s

    Should we follow Honda?

    Factory tire pressure recommendations factor in fuel efficiency besides load.
    There are good & bad tires.

    May mga bulok na tires talaga like nexen sa starex. 15k km pa lang, ang kapal pa, may bukol na. At kung magbabasa basa ka, prone talaga sa bukol ang nexen kahit sa ibang cars. So just accept it. Hindi sa usage yan

    Well, you do need to use the car for it to "break in". [emoji16] Your owner's manual will have detailed instructions on the limitations of driving under break in period. But generally, as long as you don't flog it to its limits too much, you will be fine.
