Tires Achilles or MRF
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
Vehicle:
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
They lasted 18,000 miles on my 2015 Mazda 6 before I was down to the wires. I mean for the price you get a ..... tire. They are not horrible tires that will be unsafe or that will handle horribly, but they are budget tires that won’t last long and that are loud specially with age.
Pros: ok for the price
Cons: loud, won’t last long
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 18000 km
I also plan on installing the Achilles tires in the near future after powder coating my wheels, am anxious to see how they wear and handle
Pros: anxious to see handling
Cons: anxious to see wear
Need to replace the front soon, I hate the Zappers the longevity is very good it lasts ages but the grip and breaking is pathetic.
Pros: very good longevity
Cons: pathetic grip, breaking
I have beef with MRF, their compound is so hard it makes it seem like I am on roller skates in a wet skating ring when it’s raining.
Cons: hard compound, slippery when wet
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
