vs
Tires Maxxis or Achilles
They're fantastic for DE's / non-competition for all the reasons you list. I 100% recommend for HPDE for both performance and bang-for-buck. Pros: -They last a very long time compared to every other R compound tire out there (I've run Toyo, Hankook, Hoosier, etc etc.) -Cheap compared to other 100 treadwear tires. They ship straight from Maxxis and come with a T-shirt. -Not a lot of fade, both during a session and over multiple heat cycles -They give you a lot of feedback and tend not to snap loose
Pros: long lasting, cheap
Cons: slower lap times
Vehicle:
Mazda
+1 they look like correct for a Jeep tire vs everything else out there and I'm pretty happy with them over the last 15000 miles or so.
Pros: happy with them
Vehicle:
Jeep
Mileage: 24140 km
Maxxis makes pretty durable tires. High roller rolls a little slow but grips well, Ardent rolls pretty fast and offers decent grip.
Pros: durable tires, decent grip
Cons: high roller rolls slow
I am a big fan of the Crossmarks. They are definitely not as grippy as something like the Ardent, but they are very, very fast.
Pros: very fast
Cons: not as grippy
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
If you are looking at 25c, I think Maxxis Re-fuse is a much better deal at about half the price.
Pros: better deal, half price
Mileage: 16000 km
I have had these on for a few weeks. They are super quiet and have an amazing ride.
Pros: super quiet, amazing ride
I picked a set of these tires up from Bob a few months ago, I didn't want to wear out my RE-11's doing daily driving so I needed a second set of tires. The only thing I noticed about them is they do have a bit of road noise that comes in around 30-50km, but that is it. Performance and traction wise they are pretty good; infact better than most touring tires IMO. They handle equally well in the rain and with a higher treadwear rating they should last at least three or four summers for me.
Pros: pretty good performance, good traction
Cons: bit of road noise
Well, I put a set of Achilles Platinums on my vehicle today. On another forum 2 guys were having a raging debate about the good vs. bad on these tires. Even though these tires are relatively new to North America they do have a racing pedigree in Europe, and they very well exceed the standard American standards for compliance.
Pros: racing pedigree in Europe
