I went with a set of Firestone Destination AT/2's, and the road feel is great. Tight steering and great performance on bad roads/snow.

Pros: tight steering, great performance

I've just got some Firestone all-season tires on mine. Nothing fancy. They did *surprisingly* well in a half-foot of snow.

Pros: surprisingly well in snow

I drive Firestone Firehawk Sport on my e53 amg, it’s really good tires, is it better then Michelin? No, but for the money it’s pretty good and does job well, never had an oversteer or understeer keeps to road really well.

Pros: good for money, does job well, no oversteer/understeer, keeps to road well

Pros: quiet, good handling
Cons: replaced Bridgestone OEMs
Mileage: 47073 km

A nice budget summer tire, if maybe a bit outdated. They were very well regarded on Tire Rack as a budget option for awhile. Unless you’re trying to run 10/10th on the street, they’ll be good. I did find them to run a bit narrower for the same section width than the Michelins I replaced.

Pros: nice budget summer tire, good for street
Cons: a bit outdated, run a bit narrower

Achilles Tires

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.

Pros: save 60-75% money
Cons: not as good as name brands

These are the worst tires I've ever used. At 8000 miles they needed to be replaced. All four tires had even wear they're not worth the price that Firestone charges for them.

Cons: worst tires, needed replacement
Mileage: 8000 km
