Also got the ATR Sport 2s for 250 a set shipped! 19s and feels great versus summer bridgestones. Not a track coupe..

That's why I stay with stock wheel sizes. Prices (and weight) get ridiculous with larger wheel sizes. Limits your choices when you're on a budget.

I'm sad to say these tires are sone if the favorite tires I've ever run. I'd compare it to the old Turanzas (Bridgestone) I ran on my sedan.

04 6mt Coupe - motordyne 5/16 ART pipes TDX2; KWv2; Hotchkiss; custom seats.
Timely update..I need a set of All Weathers as werk has me venturing a bit north of my summer tire comfort zone this season and the G is due for new shoes anyway.

Been having a hard time finding anything in my budget with decent reputation for the stock 18s on my 04 coupe. Was quoted 1200 installed for a set of Conti's with 35k warranty. bleh.

Even if I only get 10k out of the ATR S2s, I'll have a good chunk of change to figure out my next move. Thx

500 miles on the Achilles ATR2s and I am impressed! 20 degrees out and I jave grip again! I suffered for years on the stock runflat RE050s. Coupe gets 5k a year so I am good for a while. Hope these dont dryrot like the runflats did.

really want to spread the word on these! A set for under 300 is ridic! Cant even get 17s or 18s for close to that. Cyber monday 10% off got me down to 250.. so glad I pulled the trigger finally.

Am I missing something? The thread is about best all season tires for the money and none of you have mentioned the ATR 868 which is their all season offering. If tread life isn't a huge concern I highly recommend the BFG Comp2 A/S tires. I have them on my GTO and they kick some serious butt. TireRack consistently has them rated in the top 4 of A/S testing beating out or equaling tires more than twice their price (look out Continental/Michelin). I only get about 25K miles out of them but they have a 45K mile warranty and I've used it to replace premature wear twice at Discount Tire. https://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Tires/details?pt=BFGoodrich+Tires+g-Force+Comp+2+A/S+255/35ZR20+XL+97W&partno=BFG-30376

Is "discountedwheelwarehouse" same thing as Discount Tire? Never heard of them.

The ATRs are all season and W/V speed rated... treadwear 400 AA A

tire Rack and Discount tire direct are the two famous stores. Simple tire still beats them all.

Their website lists it as a summer tire but Simple Tire says all-season. Neither Tire Rack or Discount Tire carries Achilles tires.
