I recently was faced with the prospect of getting new tyres
for my Toyota
and decided to upgrade my alloys from 16's to 17's at the same time. I decided
to purchase a set of AEZ Ravers (review coming soon) and after doing a little research
decided to get Achilles ATR Sport Tyres. Now Achilles ATR Sport Tyres are
fairly unknown in terms of brand compared to the big names and I was initially
attracted to them for their price tag. I don't do any track work and although I
drive in a spirited manner, I don't drive excessively fast. For this reason I
was happy to consider a budget tyre (every one is different and how they perform
on your car depends on your driving style).
They arrived already fitted to the wheel and I paid around
£55 per corner. My first impressions were very good. The Achilles ATR Sport
Tyres have a substantial grooved surface and the blade design on the edges looked
promising in terms of grip through bends and corners.
I'm happy to say that the Achilles ATR Sport Tyres have not disappointed.
I have driven in wet, hot and dry conditions and they have proved to be
excellent, giving me confidence to accelerate round corners and they didn't
make the car feel twitchy even in heavy rain. I haven't used the Achilles ATR
Sport Tyres in snow or frosty conditions yet so I will add to this post when
winter arrives.
For the price I believe them to be excellent value for money
and should I need new tyres in the future due to normal wear and tear I would
purchase them again.
