Achilles ATR Sport Tire Review & Rating

Budget high-performance tires often get a bad reputation for obvious reasons, but in some cases it can often be unjustified. The Achilles ATR Sport (Advanced Technology Radial) is a tire that comes in at a low budget price but is built to provide a higher level of performance. Designed for all types of sport coupes, sedans and other vehicles, the ATR Sport has a number of impressive features.

An eco-friendly silica tread compound is matched up with an advanced offset design and directional tread pattern that helps to transfer energy to the road for better fuel efficiency and increased traction and grip on either dry or wet road surfaces.

Steering response is quicker due in part to the continuous center rib that further enhances cornering stability as well. Unique 3-D surface block technology helps to reduce outside road noise and deliver a more comfortable ride quality.

Inside the tire you’ll find twin steel belts and a polyester cord body for increased strength and durability. Achilles has a wide variety of 15 to 20 inch sizes, and they also include a 25,000 mile tread warranty.

Pros

• Good performance on most road conditions
• Quick steering and very good cornering grip    
• Comfortable ride for the most part    
• Good value for the price    

Cons

• Don’t even think about driving in winter conditions
• Treadlife    

Overall Thoughts

These tires from Achilles are good because they don’t pretend to be something they are not. The tires are decent performers in warmer months. Steering is quick and responsive, and you’ll find it handles well in the corners.

On the other hand don’t even consider driving on this tire in cold weather or on snow and ice. Park the car and wait for the weather to warm back up, or better yet get a set of dedicated winter tires instead. In addition, treadlife may be an issue for more spirited drivers, but really to be expected on a high performance low cost tire.

That being said, for the price that the Achilles ATR Sport costs, they are not a bad choice for every day driving in good to reasonable conditions for those looking to get a little more performance from their tires.
