vs
Tires Achilles or DEXTER
I have used the DAT1’s on two vehicles and the grip was phenomenal. The DAT1’s made that a joke.
Pros: phenomenal grip
Mileage: 32187 km
Very late to the party here. I just put some Dextero All Terrain’s on a 25 year old Chevy S10 that previously belonged to my now 95 year old grandfather. Maybe this isn’t saying much for an older truck that previously had tires that were god knows how old. But I have a much smoother ride now with possibly a little more road noise, but the noise isn’t anything overbearing and is only slightly louder.
Pros: much smoother ride
Cons: little more road noise
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Late to the party but I've ran the DAT10's for years now and have never had an issue with them that wasn't caused by something else. I've been through 4 sets in about 5 years on a 2010 F150. I've never had a blowout or failure and I usually get between 45-55,000 miles.
Pros: no blowouts or failures
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 55000 km
Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.
Pros: zero problems
I know this is an old thread, but still posting for the people that find this when researching this tire on Google. I bought my 93 GMC about 2.5 years ago and the PO had just put a set of these on the truck. I'm not a fan of cheap tires, but I've been very happy with these. Not loud at all, great grip on dry payment and off road. They also haven't worn out nearly as bad as previous A/T tires I've had in the past.
Pros: great grip, not loud
Cons: cheap tires
I've had them for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread left. I haven't got stuck or had any issues with them. Somewhat slick when taking off on a wet road.
Pros: plenty of tread left
Cons: slick on wet road
I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.
Pros: look good
Cons: cheap
Ive had a set of 245/65/17's on the rear of my Dakota for about 4 to 5 years now. They are decent for a budget tire but don't expect them to be on par with the likes of Goodyear, BF, etc.. In my experience, there down fall is mileage. Mine have worn even and ride nice, dry traction is very good & wet traction can be questionable.
Pros: dry traction is good
Cons: mileage is a downfall
Vehicle:
Dodge Dakota
Mileage: 20000 km
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
I have them on my 2016 Colorado and they get flat spots and vibrate just From sitting over night???? don’t buy these they balance like trash too, I’m a tire technician and I change tires all the time and I can say these are the worst tires I ever tried to balance
Cons: flat spots, vibrate, balance bad
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Colorado
