Tires Achilles or COMFORSER
Best budget tire brand I’ve used is Achilles
Not a lot of ratings online but I live on the coast in NC where snow is pretty much a non issue. They handle good in wet weather, typical notes are they don’t do well in snow but aside from Michelin many all season’s don’t
The Achilles Touring Sport A/S 225/65R17 or their dessert hawks should be fine
I’ve used achilles on several cars for the last 10 years or so and they are a great bang for the buck. I tried them out a set of their ATR sport tires on my veloster N because I was going through Michelin pilot super sports like nothing and never looked back.
Pros: great bang for buck
Cons: not good in snow
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Achilles 123S were a great 220 cheater 10 years ago, about as fast as an RS3?
Pros: great cheater
Achilles ATR Sport’s were the old model now they have the ACHILLES STREETHAWK. $50 tires super grippy and long lasting
Pros: super grippy, long lasting
Cons: burn them off quick
Currently on Achilles... ok naman siya. Sustained 100-140 kph sa express way going to Batangas. Nalubak ba pa nga sa Nasugbu hiway, no damage to rims or tires. Medyo maingay nga lang.
Pros: no damage to rims
Cons: medyo maingay nga lang
I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.
Pros: stretches really well
Cons: unsure availability
Comforser CF3000's. Chinese, but that deep lug should be a good all round tire, you'd sure be in trouble in that fall mud with well worn tires.
Pros: good all round tire
Cons: Chinese
Take it from someone who for the first 15 years of driving spent the big bucks on Conti DWS/Michelin Pilot's/Goodyear Assurances/ Pirelli P Zero's/Hankook Ventus etc. At least two dozen sets.
All a waste of money unless you are well off. I am by no means poor anymore but I started running the super generics about 8 years ago, Achilles Desert Hawk's, Gladiator XT's, Westlake's, Lexani's and now Lionhart's.
No they are not as good as the name brands, but every day driving you and 99% of people can't tell and you will naturally acclimate to whatever the limits are over time while saving 60-75% off buying name brand if you really take your time and shop around.
I've towed my 8000lb camper around the country, through the Rockies with some of these generics.
Pros: save 60-75% money
Cons: not as good as name brands
You can go with Achilles, on eBay, I’ve had some not bad
Pros: not bad
I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.
Cons: terrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Yes, they’re cheap, and yes they hold on well enough in the dry and make the fun 1970s police chase tyre squeal noise, but when there is even the slightest moisture on the road, and I mean just a bit of damp or drizzle, they lose ALL grip. They are genuinely dangerous and should not be for sale anywhere that rains.
Pros: fun tyre squeal noise
Cons: lose ALL grip
