Tires Achilles or IRONMAN

I stretch 225/35/19 Ironman Gen 2s on 9.5 wides, they seem like they have more stretch to give too.

Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.

Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.

Alot of people are snobs and your bound to have a bad batch out of the millions of tires sold yearly but modern tires still need to pass DOT certs so there's some form of quality control. Ironman make a terrific set of mud tires and all season sport tires for the price even though they don't last that long.

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.

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).

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.

They put Ironman tires on it???? but surprisingly they aren’t performing half bad !

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!

I too just replaced half worn ironman tires with dws's on a car I just bought. Wet grip on the ironman was some of the worst I'd ever experienced on a tire with tread still on it.
