Tires Achilles or Giti
I had the ATR Sport 2 on my Mazda 6 and they had excellent grip for an inexpensive tire. Good in the rain.
Pros: excellent grip, good in rain
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 10000 km
I really like my 195/55R15 Achilles ATR Sports. They wear relatively quickly (within 30k-40k miles), but man they're great tires for the money. I've never had an issue with them in the rain either.
Pros: great tires for money
Cons: wear relatively quickly
I'm running 235/45/17 on my car and I had to get 5mm spacers up front to clear the coilovers. Car is on stock 04 GLI wheels now.
Pros: clear the coilovers
Cons: needed 5mm spacers

Volkswagen
I'm running the achilles atr sport 2s. These are a cheap tire and won't compare to a michelin or conti but they're pretty good for the price. I have about 30k miles on them, they got me through utah mountain winters, and I've been running -2.5 degrees of camber all around. So for the money they did their job.
Pros: good for the price
Mileage: 48280 km
I ran them on three cars. They are my favorite Budget tire they stretch well and look good stretched. I have never had them lose air on me. They are a little louder than some tires I think but not by much. I have them on my GTI right now and can't say enough for the price of them.
Pros: stretch well, look good
Cons: a little louder
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Achilles atr are great and stretch very well for the price. Also running federals now but they run a lil wide
Pros: great stretch for price
Cons: run a lil wide
I have the Giti's on my R-Line, and they are....barely adequate. I doubt I will wait long to replace them since I do a good bit of highway driving. They are noisy, so I will at least give them a few thousand miles to see how they wear and sound.
Pros: see how they wear
Cons: noisy, barely adequate
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
vegas eh. i just got a set of Achilles ATR sport off of Amazon for 47$ each shipped free. they're usually used as cheap track tires but plenty of people use them on all sorts of cars. if your not a brand snob check em out
Pros: cheap track tires
Cons: cheap tires
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
Reason I Found this out is one of the NEW giti tires busted a side wall and had to go buy a new tire already after only 4500 miles and when we left the tire shop the TPMS came on so we took it back to check the tire pressure and he said oh you just have to reset it
Cons: tire busted a side wall
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 4500 km
