Tires Achilles or IRONMAN
I bought 4 new Ironman tires and I am still very content with them.
Pros: very content
I had those on my Stock S13 (169 HP) on 17's and they worked like a charm.
Beautiful consistent Grip through the whole tire-life. I also didn't overinflate them. Ran them on 2 Bar cold pressure.
I honestly was impressed how well they worked on my car.
Pros: consistent grip, whole tire-life
Vehicle:
Nissan
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 got the ironman iMove gen 2 as, for about 600 CAD plus instal they are a all season and have been really good so far, just terrible in snow and ice other then that I'd recommend
Pros: good all season
Cons: terrible in snow, ice
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 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 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
I use 245-45-17 but ironman gen 2s have slightly less grip, and will last about as long. Only big downside I noticed is off throttle the ironmans will "float" alot more than the 595s. I started running the ironmans when the federals started going out of stock everywhere this summer
Pros: last about as long
Cons: less grip, float more
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
They suck lol. They are loud, they hyrdoplane like a motherfucker, grooved pavement like overpasses makes them do this weird shimmy thing, and they wear quick. They cause the ABS to kick on super early, and lose traction fast.
Cons: loud, wear quick
