Wet weather? No. I have a 2008 Sti making about 250whp. In the rain it drives like it's rwd. It loses traction like no tomorrow. Now dry weather handling is quite surprising considering they at as cheap as they are. Probably would by again if I was in a money crunch and couldn't afford good high performance tires.

All the reviews you read here are true. Although they last well and are quite good on the dry the wet grip is terrible. Very easy to spin the tires coming from a stop (although fun when done on purpose) but loosing it on the wet and have even hydroplaned on a highway/motorway so I have absolutely no trust in them when there's any sign on water.

Change to these when I change my rim, affordable and great grip when dry ,acceptable on wet if you consider its price. Cant judge the comfort as im on adjustable ,road noise its abit on the loud side .Its a good choice if your budget was no that high.My car was a perodua which was no on the list hahahaha

Review your Achilles ATR Sport >

I needed a set of cheap tires and thought these would suffice. Could never get them balanced properly. I even had the road force balanced and it made an improvement. These tires are fine for everyday driving but they are absolutely treacherous in the rain. Hydroplaning and almost zero grip. I bit the bullet and ordered some Continental Extreme contacts which hopefully will perform much better ( at almost triple the price) . The old adage you get what you pay for really applies here

OK tires in the dry, decent grip and feedback but nothing extraordinary or impressive by any means. Absolutely abysmal in the rain, no grip anywhere and very prone to hydroplaning. I was given a set of wheels with these, and I would not purchase them if they weren't given to me for free. Would not recommend this tire overall to anyone who values their life or the life of their passengers in any wet conditions. Better tires out there for your money. Overall a very average tire in the dry, and a deadly tire in the rain.

Run for 20k miles on a 2005 MG ZT CDTi. Tire wear was awful. Only 20k miles from a pair of tires, even in this price range us bad. Dry grip was below average. In the wet, there is little road feedback and they aquaplane for fun. Save up and buy something better than these.

With 400lb-ft of torque in an fwd car, I spun like crazy with all seasons so I tried these. With launch control, I still had no spin or it was very minimal. Car was also able to take curvy on-ramps and corners a lot faster without sliding. For example all seasons I would start sliding at 35mph on the bend, with these it was about 55mph. Very surprised with the performance for the price. Although when it is wet I lose traction when I shouldn't. When the tires were brand new I didn't seem to have that problem, but after about 10k miles of wear, I noticed a lot of traction loss even when I wasn't accelerating hard. Overall pretty good tire with an aggressive look to it, I would recommend if on a budget.

23 December on N12 outside Delmas Rsa. A vehicle on the opposite side oncoming had a Tire blow out the vehicle started to barrel roll out of control heading directly towards my vehicle. I took very serious evasive action on my Achilles atr 17 by literly turning my car from left to right at at that time approximately 120kph. The Tire gripped 100% saving my families lives. Yes I am going to purchase a new set come 2021.

They are unwearable. Got them with the 2nd had car and drive 21000 miles and they still look like day one, despite being installed on the rear wheel drive of a sport car! :D Dangerous wheels over 15mph.

Never again! Avoid those ones

I bought my BA11 XR6 with the tires fitted, probably because it needed them for the roadworthy. Although it's a ute, I did not expect such poor rear grip. I swear the last time I had such miserable handling, the tires were cross-ply! I'm not earning at the moment, so I can't afford to just throw away 12 month old tires, but I am just waiting for the day when they are worn enough to ditch. To have such a nice car and have to drive it like a grandma is utterly frustrating. It's literally the only complaint I have with my 13yo car.

Avoid at all cost !!! I've recently bought a BMW 535D with these tires on and the car is dangerous in the damp and lethal in the wet. I intend to get them changed asap before the traction control wears out as it's working overtime even under moderate acceleration. I hope this review saves lives !!!

Im using this tire for about less than a year, the side wall start to crack. Not only 1 crack, but 3 cracks. At the price of this tire, safety are not priority on this tire. It was slippery during dry and very worst at wet road. I use this tire as daily, using at downhill and wet road are the worst experience ever on this tire. Plus, its quite noisy on dry road.

"You get what you pay for". Funny how a tire with the word "sport" in it is worse than a normal road or eco tires in the market. Went on multiple track sessions, from technical autocross courses, tight karting like circuits and high speed f1 circuits. The undeersteer in these are phenomenal. Its not as noticeable in the high speed circuits but im struggling for grip in the other courses. The tread pattern itself lasts a long time but with only a few undesteering screeching, im starting to lose alot of rubber on the edges. Daily road use wise, its as good as an average economy tire. Noise is slightly loud but bearable for me. Recommended you decrease your speed on wet roads because its prone to hydroplanning, although i gotta admit for a "sport tire", its not that bad in wet conditions. Id say, if youre not looking for extra quality tires for your 'A to B' commute, by all means. It lasts quite sometime and its cheap. Plus, it looks nice. Its my fault bringing this tire to a track but with a proclaimed level like this, I would've imagine it could atleast keep up with the ventus12 evo 2 or the ps31. I know i couldve opted for semi slicks but im trying to not go overkill. Im experimenting on multiple tires. Final words, if you dont mind low end tires, you're not going racing (apart from weekend drift sessions), really on a budget, then go for it. But if you have a specific trim and standards youre searching and looking for in a tire, then i can tell you, search deeper

Horrible!
Minimal traction in normal conditions, atrocious in the wet. Traction control continuously intervenes especially if there are any road undulations.
The older they get the harder they become and the traction issues are only compounded.
Avoid at all costs!
