Tires Vredestein or Achilles

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

I just in installed 4 of the Vredestein Quatrac Pro from TireRack. They've been on for 2 weeks and initial impressions are much improved over the Giti's. They also have the 3PMSF symbol as well.

Replaced stock Bridgestones with Vredestein Hypertrack [awesome grip]

My private car is equipped with all season Vredestein Quatrac 5, and the company car has 2 sets, the winter being Continental TS860.

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.

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.

Vredstein is a great tire. I ran them in quite a few audis. the best winter tires I ever ran

I have a set of Quatrac Pros on my Audi. I like them. TireRack reviews of them are great. And the sidewall is cool.

I also plan on installing the Achilles tires in the near future after powder coating my wheels, am anxious to see how they wear and handle

I don't trust them and they are noisy. If you have any issues with them, it can take a week or two to get a new one.
