Achilles ATR Sport II Tires???
Achilles ATR Sport II Tires???
I have never bought tires from Wal-Mart before..... but can get all 4 new tires for $277 tax and shipping included.
I was quoted over $1200 for tires from my local Les-Schwab tire center..... which we have been with for 20 years now. I am getting really tired of paying super inflated prices with them though. Even after being a loyal customer for 20 years, they still found it in their hearts to charge me $60 to re-balance the tires on the gray XF.
Does anyone have any experience with Wal-Mart tires.... more specifically the Achilles ATR Sport II tires? Wal-Mart lists them as a "summer" tire, but Achilles website and other online sellers list them as an "all season" tire.

Nowadays, I use the word cheap to denote something of poor quality. I certainly can't speak for the "cheapness" of these tires because I haven't purchased them yet.
I think tire prices are grossly inflated.... most of them are coming out of China nowadays anyways. Do I spend $1200 for the Toyo Tires, or $300 for the Achilles Tires that were manufactured a block away?
I'm going to throw myself on this grenade and will give my own honest review. Tire noise is one of my biggest complaints since I commute with my cars.

I'm going to give them a shot? It's $300, what do I have to lose?

The Achilles is just a cheap option IMO. Actually, the best budget tire I ever seen is the Cosmo Muchomacho. I used to have a lot of issues spinning tires on my SRT6 until I bought a set of these magnificent tires. They are cheap at around $75 each, excellent grip and nice design all season tire. Just look at the reviews on YouTube and judge yourself.

The local VW dealer has a set of these tires (different size) mounted on upgraded rims on display on their dealership floor. Actually a good looking tire. Even some of these dealers are starting to look at different tire brands other than the old standards to keep the costs down. There are quite a few tires out there that are more affordable & still give acceptable performance.
