Anyone have 19" Achilles ATR tires?

Alen E90 · 06-21-2012, 06:39 PM

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if anyone has 19" achilles ATR tires, and if so, what is the condition of them, do they have any problems once installed? I was also just wondering, would these be a better choice over yokohama S drives?

Reason I'm asking is because I found a set of yokohama S drives w/about 85% on them, and so I was just wondering if I should go with that or buy a new set of the achilles?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thank you guys soooooo much

I loved my s-drive's when I had them. Never had any experience with the achillies. What type of driving? The s-drive tread rating isn't as high. 300 versus 400. Maybe something to consider?

ive rocked a set of 19s with achilles for a couple of month and for the money that your paying no complaint what so ever obviously it wouldnt be wise to drive any summer & all season tires in the snow if your drive a bmw. overalll good buy if your on a budget

Great bargain tire for daily use, ill pick them new vs a used yoko. Cons of a used tire would be the grief they can cause because you have no idea how they were treated, might have internal tread separation, plugged/patched, bead seals are beat from dismounting. All this to save a few bucks? ill go with the new tire all day.

and they would look great on a set of 230s

......just saying no big deal lol

Having them in the Front of my car right now.
Overall, im happy with them. Good tires if u are on a budget.
Just dont bring them to the track and expect some good traction i would say.
