Tires Achilles or Kormoran
Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.
Pros: zero problems
I buy Kormoran tyres for our Mini, Made in Romania or Poland and owned by Michelin.
Vehicle:
MINI
Kormoran. Kommt aus Polen wurde aber von Michelin aufgekauft. Bin zufrieden
Pros: Bin zufrieden
Meti 4 Kormoran UHP (com o devido alinhamento e calibração) por 328€ e outros 4 Barum Bravuris por 352€.
Os Kormoran, uso diaramente, e estou bem contente pelo preço. Mesmo em chuva portam-se bem, mas não são pneus para te armares em Ayrton Senna nessas condições climatéricas :D
O ponto negativo que dou, mas isso é ser picuinhas, é o desenho do pneu que é diferente do habitual e acho feio.
Pros: bem contente pelo preço
Cons: desenho do pneu feio
Best budget tire brand I’ve used is Achilles
Not a lot of ratings online but I live on the coast in NC where snow is pretty much a non issue. They handle good in wet weather, typical notes are they don’t do well in snow but aside from Michelin many all season’s don’t
The Achilles Touring Sport A/S 225/65R17 or their dessert hawks should be fine
I’ve used achilles on several cars for the last 10 years or so and they are a great bang for the buck. I tried them out a set of their ATR sport tires on my veloster N because I was going through Michelin pilot super sports like nothing and never looked back.
Pros: great bang for buck
Cons: not good in snow
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Achilles 123S were a great 220 cheater 10 years ago, about as fast as an RS3?
Pros: great cheater
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
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
Uma vez meti uns kormoran e parecia que andava de barco.
Cons: sensação de instabilidade
Tenho uns kormoran atrás, que vinham com o carro, e digo, nunca vi nada tão mau ???? e são uns kormoran ultra high performance, que patinam em piso molhado, mesmo a baixas velocidades.
Cons: muito mau, patinam em molhado
