Tires Achilles or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
my Achilles ATR Sport 2 last forever in the rear and have good grip
Pros: last forever, good grip
I've been recommended Achilles ATR Sport 2 by literally all of my friends. I've had Pilot Super Sports before, and the Achilles handle extremely similar while intense driving. I'd say they last just as long as well.
Pros: similar to Pilot Super
Mileage: 4000 km
Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.
Pros: no issues using go-pedal
Cons: horrid in the winter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've pushed those achilles so hard and there is still practically no wear! still trying to make these fit proper, some more fender rolling is needed.
Pros: practically no wear
Cons: fender rolling needed
Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.
Pros: performed very well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.
Pros: stellar mileage
Vehicle:
Volkswagen

My last vw, jetta, the rears always got scalloped eventually, even with rotations...now on the CC, just had the tires again rotated with the 30k service and the noise from the front is annoying as hell...that droning reverbish kind of sound.
Cons: noise from the front
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 30000 km
I wouldn't recommend Achilles tires in general. The bare tire (unmounted) flat-spotted under its own weight.
Cons: flat-spotted under weight
