Tires Achilles or DEXTER
I'm using Achilles Desert Hawk HT2 (on SUV with 32PSI).. tire whistle can only heard after 120KPH. tahimik po sya based on my experience...
Pros: tahimik po sya
Cons: tire whistle at 120KPH
Just picked up a set of Achilles Touring A/S sent to a local installer, under $400 all told.
Pros: good price
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart, and I've been happy with them.
Pros: Happy with performance, good value
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
I would have chosen/ordered these ATX from WM to replace my Falkens, but a tree branch punctured my tires and I was forced to buy *in stock* Dextero DAT1 AT Tires. NOT 3PMS, but look VERY similar the my Wildpeak AT Trails! I got the rear set replaced, will replace the fronts soon. Happy with my purchase.
Pros: happy with purchase
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I have had 2 sets of them in 5 years on an 05 tahoe. First set has lasted me roughly 48k and the most recent pair are still on the tahoe with abiut 20k on them (Tahoe is sitting, I now drive a 2016 Colorado) The tires are made local to me in South Carolina. For the price I cant beat it. I have nothing but good experience with the Dextero AT
Pros: good experience, good price
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Tahoe
Mileage: 48000 km
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart for my personal vehicles, and they seem to last just fine. Sometimes I have to take them to a real tire shop for re-balance, but most of the time it's fine from the WalMart TLE.
Pros: good longevity
Cons: needs re-balancing
I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.
Pros: reasonably solid
Cons: wear out faster than advertised
Recently bought a used Subaru Crosstrek for my daughter, and CarMax clearly had put new tires on them — specifically, Achilles SportTouring A/S.
I know nothing about this brand or model, so I can’t say what their wet or snow performance might be (or any other parameters, for that matter).
Vehicle:
Subaru
I’ve used Dextero. They cracked and wore down in less than 20k miles.
Cons: cracked, wore down
Mileage: 32187 km
Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them. Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered. Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water. At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life. Dangerous! Avoid!
Cons: worst performing tire, dangerous
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
