The Nexen N6000 were used in the Antilag race series thing as the 'control' tyre. I wouldn't think of this as the same as a control tyre for V8 Supercars or the like. They were just a cheap street tyre so no one could rock up on r-comps and smash some quick times.

From what I heard they were pretty average. I've never used them so I'd want feedback from someone who has used them before buying.

Unless Nexen is now Achillies, I've got no idea who Achillies are. And it seems a shit name for a company given the whole achillies heel thing...

Edit: Also remember that your tyres are the only thing that connects your car to the ground. Cheaping out on tyres means you can't put as much power to the ground, can't take corners as fast and can't brake as quickly. There is no point running cheap and nasty tyres and then spending money on mods to go fast, handle better and stop faster.
