vs
Tires Achilles or WEST LAKE
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 oversteered on old Westlake tires just driving 40 kph on a damp road. I’ve had Dunlop DZ102 delaminate under high heat. Dunlop LM703 sidewall bulging issues without any impact.
I currently now run either Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan AD09 for my cars. So much better grip, better build quality.
Pros: better grip, build quality
Rp18 is the best of the low budget tires.
Pros: best low budget tires
Naka Westlake din ako for 2 years na. Mostly city driving and occasional highways. I can say na okay na okay for its price.
Pros: okay na okay
Cons: none
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
I went 2” larger overall diameter tire (factory 27” to 29”) and went from a regular oem tire to walmart (west lake ) ATs. And I only saw a very small change in average mpg, aprox 32.1 down to 29.8mpg.
Pros: small change in mpg
Cons: slight mpg decrease
The Westlakes are an Off Brand, they are cheap and you get what you pay for, but they are decent have sold lots of these with no issues.
Pros: decent, no issues
Cons: cheap, off brand
Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ
Pros: not too far off
Cons: scarce in NZ
I have a set from when I bought some new wheels and these things are loud. They sound and feel hard as I am driving a sedan but feel as if I’m driving a jeep. I hear all of the road noise.
Pros: none
Cons: loud, hard, road noise
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Westlake tires. I worked with a guy who bought 4 for his cruze, and man, they were scary in anything but warm, dry pavement.
Pros: black, round, held air
Cons: scary on pavement
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Cruze
