Tires OEM Audi or Achilles

Just got a 2021 sq5 today, comes with 5 year CPO, so it has like 3 years left. My intention is to drive it for 4-5 years, they quoted me like 3.5k CAD after tax for two years. So ill have factory warranty until 2028.

I like Achilles but not sure they still make them. Best cheapest tire that stretches really well.

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.

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.

If you’re looking for a good budget tire, have a look at the Achilles atr sport 2 tires. Got a set last summer and they grip awesome.

Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ

vegas eh. i just got a set of Achilles ATR sport off of Amazon for 47$ each shipped free. they're usually used as cheap track tires but plenty of people use them on all sorts of cars. if your not a brand snob check em out

Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them.  Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered.  Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water.  At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life.  Dangerous!  Avoid!

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