Tires FEDERAL or Achilles

I'm using Achilles Desert Hawk HT2 (on SUV with 32PSI).. tire whistle can only heard after 120KPH. tahimik po sya based on my experience...

Just picked up a set of Achilles Touring A/S sent to a local installer, under $400 all told.

I ended up opting for Federal 595RS-RR their cheaper and i like how they perform

I'm running 255/35R18 Federal 595RS-Pro and like them alot. Pretty affordable and nice level of grip.

Ran the original tires for 6yrs just replaced them with some Federal Evoluzion ST-1 225/50ZR/17 high performance tires summer only all Im going to say is money well spent ????

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 seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.

In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.

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!
