Tires Hankook or Achilles

I really like my 195/55R15 Achilles ATR Sports. They wear relatively quickly (within 30k-40k miles), but man they're great tires for the money. I've never had an issue with them in the rain either.

Get Hankooks or Firestones if you want to save a couple of bucks, while still having a great tire.

I'm running 235/45/17 on my car and I had to get 5mm spacers up front to clear the coilovers. Car is on stock 04 GLI wheels now.

After lots of research I went for Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tyres and am very, very happy with them.

Can't comment on loudness as the S2000 is just plain loud, but have run these on the S2000 in both the earlier V12 and later Evo2 variety. pretty happy with them for a street tire, stable in the rain, predictable, and they seem to wear well (S2000's eat rear tires every 10k anyway on proper alignment specs).

i had them on my A6. I thought they were pretty good. would buy again.

I used to run them on my S60R and really liked them. For the price they were decent. Not quite as quiet or grippy as some more expensive tires, but they've been my go-to for "slightly cheaper" tires for a while.

About 800 miles on mine (2018 GSW S 4mo). Can only echo what others have said. Excellent dry traction, excellent in the rain, and based on limited snow darn good there as well! Very quiet with a firm, connected feel.

I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:

Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.

In the Northeast through a TERRIBLE winter with 4 Nor'easters in as many weeks the car was awesome even on the dodgy stock Hankook all seasons.
