Tires Achilles or MRF
Achilles 123S were a great 220 cheater 10 years ago, about as fast as an RS3?
Pros: great cheater
Achilles ATR Sport’s were the old model now they have the ACHILLES STREETHAWK. $50 tires super grippy and long lasting
Pros: super grippy, long lasting
Cons: burn them off quick
I have the masseter on my bike and I'm happy with it.
Pros: happy with it
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
Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.
But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.
Pros: good grip, wider appearance
Cons: lack of grip in mud
Usually should have ideally clocked 40K. But MRF is like that. I changed mine only after 20K after side wall cut and moved to YOKOHAMA Geolander H/T.
Cons: side wall cut
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
My car completed 14.8k kms, and I noticed this bulge on the right rear tire. The tires are MRF Ecotred that came with the car. I didn't notice it anytime before so I don't know when did it show up.
Cons: tire bulge, quality issue
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 14800 km
Mine was mrf and did not have a good experience. Within 1 month 4k km run tire burst in a simple pot hole with 33 psi air pressure
Pros: null
Cons: tire burst in pothole
Mileage: 4000 km
Nothing new for the MRF wanderers skoda gives on their cars.
Faced this on 3 tyres at once and one even blasted suddenly when on a Highway doing 120, fed up with issues i constantly faced with these tyres and changed them all at once to continentals
Cons: tyres blasted suddenly
Vehicle:
Skoda
