Just picked up a set of Achilles Touring A/S sent to a local installer, under $400 all told.
Recently bought a used Subaru Crosstrek for my daughter, and CarMax clearly had put new tires on them — specifically, Achilles SportTouring A/S.
I know nothing about this brand or model, so I can’t say what their wet or snow performance might be (or any other parameters, for that matter).
Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them. Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered. Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water. At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life. Dangerous! Avoid!
Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.
Take it from someone who for the first 15 years of driving spent the big bucks on Conti DWS/Michelin Pilot's/Goodyear Assurances/ Pirelli P Zero's/Hankook Ventus etc. At least two dozen sets.
All a waste of money unless you are well off. I am by no means poor anymore but I started running the super generics about 8 years ago, Achilles Desert Hawk's, Gladiator XT's, Westlake's, Lexani's and now Lionhart's.
No they are not as good as the name brands, but every day driving you and 99% of people can't tell and you will naturally acclimate to whatever the limits are over time while saving 60-75% off buying name brand if you really take your time and shop around.
I've towed my 8000lb camper around the country, through the Rockies with some of these generics.
Best budget tire brand I’ve used is Achilles
Not a lot of ratings online but I live on the coast in NC where snow is pretty much a non issue. They handle good in wet weather, typical notes are they don’t do well in snow but aside from Michelin many all season’s don’t
The Achilles Touring Sport A/S 225/65R17 or their dessert hawks should be fine
I’ve used achilles on several cars for the last 10 years or so and they are a great bang for the buck. I tried them out a set of their ATR sport tires on my veloster N because I was going through Michelin pilot super sports like nothing and never looked back.
Achilles 123S were a great 220 cheater 10 years ago, about as fast as an RS3?
Achilles ATR Sport’s were the old model now they have the ACHILLES STREETHAWK. $50 tires super grippy and long lasting
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.
