Tires FEDERAL or Achilles

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.

I have Federal Himalaya Inverno K1 on my Highlander and they are boss. Never gotten stuck. Never had traction issues and I can go 120 in a blizzard

Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.

We ran them on our champ car endurance race car. They were ok for what they are. Beware they will get greasy after around 10-15 laps at full pace and grip goes immediately. Caused significant understeer at the limit when this happened.

Federal tires are cheap and good. I use Michelin PS4 but on wet paint they're almost useless.

I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.

I have a set of Federal RSRR. They only have about 3,000 miles on them. I took them to a track day and there was no feedback on when the tire would lose traction, the car would go from full grip to zero in a snap.
