Achilles tires???

Hi

I'm considering buying 19" replica M3 rims for my 09 E92. They come with Achilles tires. Anyone heard of this brand??

I would keep looking. I would never consider putting generic rubber on my car.

Haha seriously. I'd at least invest in tires from a company with some kind of a marketing department.

My bro bought those for his 03 A4 for $200 for 4 tires. Installed. They proceeded to rip a week later. Get rid of those ASAP!

Yeah I've heard of them, they are made in Greece and are runflats. The innercore is stone and the tires can go 20,000 miles on no air pressure and can be shot full of bullet holes. They are used on a lot of cars in the Middle East...
