Tires Kumho or Achilles

I put about 10 laps on a set of Achilles all seasons on stock power at my last drift event and the tires still look new. I had heard bad things about Achilles but so far so good for me.

V730 is only other tire that’s cheap and works well. My personal experience on them is on a Miata, I was shocked how good they worked.

Go with the Kumho V730. They are the cheapest tire per corner, wear VERY well (about 100 runs before they cord…WITHOUT flipping). They are exactly what you need for a low-camber GS car.

Achilles tires are really lightweight and can take some abuse

I had gotten some Achilles Desert Hawk UHP tires, they were really good for the price and held up a good while.

I run them on my Highlander and they have been great. This thing eats tires but they last around 40k miles on the Highlander. Definitely recommend!

I have a set of Kumho Crugens on one of my cars, I like them so far (just installed in October, and we do get winter).

I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.

The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.

My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.
