Tires Nexen or Achilles
I run Achilles atr sport 2s on everything super cheap pretty good grip on dry. Could be better in the wet but even in the rain in my 350z with no driver aids I’ve never once felt unsafe due to tires
Pros: good grip on dry, super cheap
Cons: could be better in wet
Vehicle:
Nissan
I had a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on my Golf R and had no issues with them in Vancouver, BC winter.
Pros: no issues in winter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Hitting 30k on my set on my 2015 Mazda6 rotated at every oil change (7k miles). Go ahead and pay less. You aren't cheaping out.
Pros: pay less
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 30000 km
So I’ve had the ATR Sport 2’s on my car for 8000 miles. For people saying that you won’t get good tread wear out of them; they’re plain wrong. My only complaint is the tire noise but considering the price I won’t complain it’s not that bad with music on.
Pros: good tread wear
Cons: tire noise
Mileage: 8000 km
I have them on my 2017 Mazda 6. I have no issues with the tires. At 70mph there is very little road noise. They feel a little softer then the Dunlops. They kind of remind me of the Cooper CS5 I had on my old Mazda 6.
Pros: little road noise
Cons: softer then Dunlops

I just got Achilles atr sport 2's. They are summer tires, and I got a staggered set of 4 for 19" wheels for less than $300 shipped. The dry grip is excellent I'm very happy with them, great value.
Pros: excellent dry grip, great value

One tyre brand I highly recommend which is cheap but performs pretty well is NEXEN
Pros: performs pretty well
Cons: cheap
I have the N5000's on my Classix for my Summer wheels, They are OK, Feel better than the stock Contis on the steelies I use in the winter But not the best in the Wet, If its rainning, I can easily get them to spin.... When they wear, I probably won't buy them again . . . J
Pros: better than stock Contis
Cons: not best in wet, easily spin
Part number: N5000
Nexen is shit. Hyundai kia use them as their stock tires and they are absolute dogshit. Honestly 90% of their reputation for poor ride and handling. I popped one on a pothole. 3 mm sidewall thickness.
Cons: poor ride and handling
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
Pros: good on ice and snow
Cons: unstable, loud, bad cornering
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
