Tires BRIDGESTONE or Achilles
Now I’m using Bridgestone Dueler HT 840 which is also great and comfortable and more sturdy than the Khumo.
Achilles 123S were a great 220 cheater 10 years ago, about as fast as an RS3?
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
Achilles ATR Sport’s were the old model now they have the ACHILLES STREETHAWK. $50 tires super grippy and long lasting
They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.
Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks. Rock. (A huge improvement vs OEM Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires.) Based on my past experience with this and other Michelin tires, not entirely sold on the Michelin brand.
I've been driving all types of vehicles on all types of tires for more than 50 years. The two best value tires I ever owned were Douglas (identical tread and design as my original Pirelli P77's) on an AWD Volkswagon Quantum and a set of Bridgestone Turanzas on a Mitsubishi Diamante (smooth and quiet as driving on glass). Both of these tires gave me over 52,000 miles of excellent service.
Bridgestone WeatherPeak is fine, but it's one of the most expensive tires, and Tire Rack's testing shows it wasn't that good.
Gonna say running north of 100mph on mismatched budget sub-brand bridgestones is adding a margin of error where you cant really afford one.
I remember going hot into a turn, getting on the brakes, and sliding sideways with no warning. It wasn't that fast, but still a bit disturbing. I replaced them this year with a much newer set of S04 PP.
