Tires Achilles or Giti
I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.
Pros: stretches really well
Cons: unsure availability
I live in Utah and have Giti Champiro tied on my Kia Rio. They are very good tires, ride well, and are somewhat quiet. They are as good as Hankooks or Goodyear. The are somewhat lacking in ice but nonetheless really good tires.
Pros: very good tires, ride well
Cons: lacking in ice
Vehicle:
Kia Rio
I put about 10 laps on a set of Achilles all seasons on stock power at my last drift event and the tires still look new. I had heard bad things about Achilles but so far so good for me.
Pros: tires still look new
Cons: heard bad things
Achilles tires are really lightweight and can take some abuse
Pros: really lightweight
I had gotten some Achilles Desert Hawk UHP tires, they were really good for the price and held up a good while.
Pros: good for the price
If you’re looking for a good budget tire, have a look at the Achilles atr sport 2 tires. Got a set last summer and they grip awesome.
Pros: grip awesome
Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ
Pros: not too far off
Cons: scarce in NZ
Just picked up a 2021 Tiguan SE, of course equipped with Giti\u2019s. So far in 15 miles of driving, they have a little road noise compared to my Bridgestones currently on my Alltrack
Pros: little road noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 15 km
Giti tires, at least here in the US, I thought we’re a VW OE thing. Not a very good tire when new, definitely hasn’t gotten better with age.
Cons: not a very good tire
Back in Dec 2022 I bought a new set of Giti E1 tires from a reseller and got them installed with alignment. The tires felt slippery in the wet even after 3 months of usage. I could feel the rear of the car sliding out even when doing 30-40km/h on a wet right bend.
Cons: slippery in the wet
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
