Tires Achilles or OEM Honda
I'm a City owner, and the OEM tires were terrible and noisy. Since switching to UC6s, I have zero complaints.
Pros: zero complaints
Cons: terrible and noisy
Vehicle:
Honda City
I'm using Achilles Desert Hawk HT2 (on SUV with 32PSI).. tire whistle can only heard after 120KPH. tahimik po sya based on my experience...
Pros: tahimik po sya
Cons: tire whistle at 120KPH
my biggest complaint, and probably my only real one, is the road noise. The interior can be pretty loud, especially on the freeway. I’m fairly confident that most of this comes down to the stock tires, because otherwise the car feels tight and well put together.
Pros: car feels tight
Cons: interior pretty loud
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 30000 km
Usually it is recommended to replace the tyre for puncture on the shoulder or the sidewall but it is a very small nail. Personally I would get it repaired and move it to the rear.
Pros: small nail, get it repaired
Vehicle:
Honda City
Throw some studded tires on and you’ll be fine. I made it back to Saskatchewan after a blizzard in Banff Alberta where it snowed 10” of slush. It was a slow drive dragging through the snow.
Pros: studded tires, keeps going
Cons: slow drive, dragging through snow
Vehicle:
Honda
All that carbon fiber to make it light and easy to flick into corners - yet bro's never been past 15° lean. Waste of good rubber.
Pros: light and easy to flick
Cons: waste of good rubber
Vehicle:
Honda
Yearly, some of the big expenses are tires (1000 a set if you buy the OEM tire from Honda) and gas (gets around 20-25 depending on where and how you drive).
Cons: expensive tires
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
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).

My little Honda Fit is so light that even with good snow tires I can't get anywhere if the roads are slick.
Pros: good snow tires
Cons: can't get anywhere
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them. Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered. Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water. At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life. Dangerous! Avoid!
Cons: worst performing tire, dangerous
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
