Tires Achilles or GT Radial

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.

The jeep I bought had GT Radial Adventuro AT3’s on (285/70r17) and they’ve been solid tbh.

Achilles 123S were a great 220 cheater 10 years ago, about as fast as an RS3?

GT Radial are better price with better performance Zero complaints would recommend.

Traction is fantastic ????

These tires are absolutely amazing the grip is excellent drive is smooth quiet and stops on a dime. Firestone were absolutely shit. The Firestone wore out from general use way ahead of manufacturing specs. Wore my brakes out more than once. Never stopped as intended. Slip and spin when it rained had traction issues during dry weather. I would absolutely recommend GT radial.

Achilles ATR Sport’s were the old model now they have the ACHILLES STREETHAWK. $50 tires super grippy and long lasting

The GT Radial SX2 is 200tw and there are a few super cheap sizes out there. I like them enough that this is my second set.

Tried both but I’ll go with GT Radial

I just bought these tires so I can't directly comment on them, but they were in my budget and the specs were about the best in the price range.

I know GT radial tires are on the cheaper side. My GF got them last summer, in may. I checked them today and they are down to about 4/32mm. She basically drove 8 months with them, or 25k km, almost exclusively highway. Is that expected? I'm used to tires going for 50k km.
