Tires Toyo or Achilles
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.
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.
I just replaced my Toyo ATII’s P285/70R17 after 70K+ miles only due to getting a flat that got hot. They came with a 60k mile warranty and were solid for me on and off the road.
I have really enjoyed my Toyo Versado Noir, it's a newer tire and I think it's a grand touring tire or touring if I'm not mistaken, I went 245 45r17 up from stock 235 45 and I like the beefy tires and it added a little bit of width. They're very smooth and quiet. I have never had hydroplaning issues even at 85 in heavy rain. The tires were tracking well. The only downside is traction from the power, I could break them loose with stock power and engine mounts with a dogbone insert. I'm stage 2 now and if I'm not careful I can spin tires at 30 from a roll on dry pavement. Like I said I can drive spiritedly and not have any problems, it's just the torque
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.
When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.
Tires: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.
I didn't have as much tire noise with the Bridgestones as I do now with my Toyo Proxies ZR4's. These tires can get a bit loud, especially around 40 mph and at 80 mph.
We sold these at the tire center a I worked at. We rarely had a repeat customer get them twice. They always upgraded to the Toyo MT, and that wasn't us being pushy salesmen. We always asked why, and the regular complaints were the loud drone from the tires at freeway speeds and they didn't last for jack under the heavier trucks. 40K miles was on the high side of things.
