Achilles 122 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 6 reviews

The Achilles 122 receives five positive overall verdicts from six owners, with value the most repeated specific praise. Early accounts also favor comfort, while individual owners describe good grip, handling and low noise. Half the reviews are initial impressions, and the mid-life accounts add little detail about wear, so a general tread-life claim is not supported. One end-of-life account reports a sidewall failure on poor roads, but this single experience does not establish a recurring weakness. The small sample offers little detail on wet-weather ability or how grip changes with use.

These tires really surprised me, I was just looking for a relatively cheap tire for daily use, they are fitted to my "stanced" 92 Corolla running 15x8 wheels with 185/55r15 tires stretched over them with 3.5° camber front and rear and I have done just under 10,000miles and they still look relatively new, no signs of wear at all. Also being on the cheaper side the grip has surprised me aswell. I highly recommend this tire and would definitely purchase again.

I used these tires in Asia and the roads are really bad. My other C Drive tires held up well, but these tires always had problems. I actually was driving very slowly last week and had a side wall blow out. I decided these were too dangerous and changed back to original Yokohama.
