Despite the low cost, the standard of an Achilles tyre is on a premium level.
Achilles made a debut into the market in 2005 with high quality and affordable tyres.
The Achilles tyre has an average price range of between $49 to $400 depending on the tyre size, width, and vehicle model. Achilles tyres have 4X4 M/T off-road tyres, A/T tyres, and race competition tyres for a truck, buses, SUVs, commercial and industrial vehicles.
Off-road tyres are typically used in more extreme weather conditions, off-road terrain an on soft surfaces. They have a durable, aggressive tread design and construction with a strong sidewall for extra protection against damage from obstacles encountered on the road.Achilles off-road tyres give your vehicle the ability to handle all types of driving conditions. When you need to take your heavy load through softer surfaces, off-road tyres are designed to give you better grip and safety.
Achilles 17-inch A/T or M/T tyres are specifically designed to accommodate tough road conditions. They have a larger footprint than other tyre types which helps them to drive through mud, sand, rocks and gravel.
They are designed to provide safety for the driver through good contact with the road surface.
The Achilles brand tends to have good reviews for rim protection, stability, tyre size and weather. Some of their tyres also have a self-cleaning mechanism that serves as a filter when conditions are wet. Self-cleaning tyres work by using tread patterns that remove water from the tyre face and bring it to a small opening at the centre of the pattern where the water is thrown back to the road under wet driving conditions. The Achilles ATR Sport 2 are 'swamping' type tyres with an open shoulder design, which make them very stable at high speeds. These tyres offer lower rolling resistance, prolonging disc life and reducing fuel consumption. They performed well even on high-speed commutes since the rubber compound opens up while keeping its structure firm during acceleration and deceleration, perfect for wet weather.
Aside from reduced costs and decent performance, the Achilles brand is also known for durability and structure - both crucial factors in tyre performance.
The tyres use an asymmetrical pattern and high-density sipes on the shoulder of the tread pattern which enables it to grip surfaces during either dry or wet conditions, as well as continuous ribs along the internal shoulder which help with braking and give traction during acceleration. This enables drivers to experience immersive driving pleasure no matter if it's rain or shine outside.
Their standards are said to be similar to Sumitomo.
