Tires Achilles or Barum

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.

I just bought a used VW and i had to put new tires on it already, someone at a dealer told me to go with the BARIUM Bravuris 2 (All Season tire) on mine 215/40/17" and with 10k+miles so far so good, very quiet, they seem to work better then most brands i know.

I have had these on for a few weeks. They are super quiet and have an 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.

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.

I got about 23,000 miles out of this set of Barums. They have been a great tire.
