Tires MICHELIN or Achilles

Achilles Tires

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.

Pros: great bang for buck
Cons: not good in snow

I bought enkei 17s and Michelin x ice for winter. It was a lot easier to get tires and also doubles as a good rim for cheap track tires also if you want as 215 17s are pretty common

Pros: easier to get tires
Cons: none
Vehicle: Toyota

as a owner of the CrossClimate2s in NEvl Wisconsin, the supreme snow traction they provide in the winter is top notch, even on par with the best winter tires (winter tires do provide better ice traction). While we do see an efficiency impact of about 5%, it's totally worth the benefits they provide in the winter.

Pros: supreme snow traction
Cons: efficiency impact
Vehicle: Toyota

Installed these on my EV6. They’re pretty great in the snow (also in CO). Expect a 10-15% hit to your range

Pros: great in the snow
Cons: hit to your range
Vehicle: Kia

Just installed a new set of Michelin CrossClimate2 all weather tires to tackle the upcoming Colorado winter. Ride seems a bit more firm, in a generally good way. Seems just as quiet on most surfaces, and from prior experience with these on my other cars, I know the trend to get a bit quiter after an initial break in period.

Pros: ride seems more firm

I switched out to Cross Climate 2s , from Connecticut up to Portland was probably  some of the worst snow I've ever had to drive in. They felt Incredible. I drive on the highway every day here and in thunderstorms it's nothing but confidence.

Pros: felt incredible

I got around 20k from my next set of Michelin pilot road 4's and have not run another tire since. Yes they're expensive, but their dollar per mile ratio is incredible and they have fantastic wet weather performance

Pros: fantastic wet weather performance, incredible dollar per mile
Cons: expensive
Mileage: 20000 km

If road noise is a concern, I would avoid Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons. I haven't driven the Hankook's but the PS4AS were noticeably louder than the MXM4 and louder than the Pilot Sport 4 Summer tires I currently have now (with the foam).

Cons: noticeably louder than MXM4

I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.

Pros: won't discount their strengths
Cons: dry rot, soft sidewall
