Tires SUMITOMO 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.

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.

Just reporting first snow, 6", with Sumimoto 205.60.16 Ice Edge snow tires on 16"Austin wheels, GREAT. Soft tire, slows cornering cheap really grips, comfortable.

I had the ATR Sport 2 on my Mazda 6 and they had excellent grip for an inexpensive tire. Good in the rain.

I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.

They lasted 18,000 miles on my 2015 Mazda 6 before I was down to the wires. I mean for the price you get a ..... tire. They are not horrible tires that will be unsafe or that will handle horribly, but they are budget tires that won’t last long and that are loud specially with age.

I daily drive with the Sumitomos they are alright in the dry but I do find they aren't as good in the wet. They do feel pretty predictable when driving hard and the tire wear isn't too bad.

The only tire brand I never liked was Sumitomo. They were always much narrower than spec and seemed to loose grip when you needed it most.
