Achilles Tires
 

I am in the market for two rear tres and Achilles tires ads keep popping up. Does anyone have any personal reviews driving their Z on those tires?

If you just daily your car and don't track it, they look fine. I would personally invest in a name brand. If you don't want to spend big, look into the Sumitomo summer tire since they are essentially Dunlops.

Lots of good options on Tirerack too. You can find a Tirerack installer and save about half off normal mounting/balancing costs.

never heard of them but they rate good http://www.tirestest.com/allseason_t...x.html:tiphat:

Quite Popular in S'pore among Subaru WRX Owners here,there is a 18" Track Tyre.

I had them on my 07 Z. Price-wise, they cost about $100/tire. They don’t last long and are really noisy. I drove normal and didn’t track/race the 350Z, but got maybe 18k out of those tires.

If you need something quick, cheap, and temporary, they are an option.

They are made in Indonesia. If that means anything to you.

Kind of strange having a tire named Achilles. Almost a prediction of what your car’s weak point will be.

Is that better or worse than the other no name brands made in China?

Much better...

Touchè :icon17:

I had Sumitomo on my FR-S and they were great.

You can get Federal tires for pretty much the same price. I bought a set for my Supra because they were cheap and didn't want to roast through expensive tires at 750whp. I'll never buy a different brand of tire other than Mickey Thompsons for the street after seeing how well these perform at my power level. RS-RR in the rear and RS-R in the front. I don't expect them to last that long but at $120 a tire I could care less for a non daily driver. I'll be switching to those for my Z whenever the all seasons wear out.
