Thread #24617
how do these tires ride? They seem to stretch well... just wanted to know if they were decent tires...
no personal experience, but some dude with an xb told me that they're loud haha
someone i know got them. they seem to stretch well. i probably will be going with them since the shop i go to doesn't carry nankangs anymore. i also heard they were loud. i'll be stretching a 245/30 on a 11. They're rounded as well. I was told that some of the guys at platinum vip run them. Not sure about that, maybe someone that knows them more can verify?
^^ lol nankangs are loud too... but the price for the tires is what got me... madddd cheap =)
Triangles are inexpensive too. They look like a good stretch. alexisthesuspect or whatever his username is is running them on his Schwert's.
i got em. they stretch good. smallest they make is 225/35/19 and biggest i think is 245/35/19 they arent loud. i think its normal for a lo-pro tire
Do they run true or small? What size do wheels and tires are you running? Pics if possible? Sorry for all the questions. Trying to figure out what size to go with. I had Hankook V4 235/35's on an 11...need something with slightly more stretch.

Thanks..thats the 9" wheel right?
I heard they are a bit oversized, no personal experience running them. But as donpisto mentioned earlier the triangle/diamondback tr968 (same company) give a real good stretch, super affordable too.
plus its a 400 treadwear compared to nankang's 340. I had them on my car and they are loud but so were the nankangs lol
Crap..i heard they run closer to true size. Now i'm hearing they run large. Anyone else hear how they run?
triangle runs true, stretch well and have a treadwear of 380, but i swear they are softer than that.
I'm convinced i might just pick these up..
Oh I meant the achilles...if they run true, large, or small... not sure if the shop i go to gets triangle.
i knew what you meant, just giving my .02's
Ah lol. Nelson mentioned the diamondbacks are kinda squared...is that true for the triangles?
not that i noticed. i'll take some pics this time. i gotta get them on if we are gonna do the food truck meet.
if anyone wants, i got a pair of 235/35/19 achilles for sale. Id say like 97% new, barely driven on

[QUOTE=Vincent;365938]if anyone wants, i got a pair of 235/35/19 achilles for sale. Id say like 97% new, barely driven on[/QUOTE] im interested. how much?
i have them streched on a 265 and its x12. tires are a bit loud. they grip pretty well. a friend of mine have them on his 240 and he said he can barely spin the 225 when he drifts

Just an FYI, don't try to stretch a 245/30 Achilles on an 11". Not gonna work. It's about 10-15mm too short.
im rockin achilles tires on my set up now..they stretch well..stretch more than FKs..and not noisy..looks good..and like u said..MADD CHEAP yO! haha got 4 tires for less than 500 installed

I just purchased a set of Achilles for my Eurolines today. Think I paid around $440 shipped for (x2) 225/35/19's and (x2) 235/35/19's. I'll post some pictures once I get them mounted.

[QUOTE=samsa;368389]Got pics? I'm was thinking about to put 245/35/19 on 11"..[/QUOTE] look at my posts in the tire stretch thread. it has 245/35 on 11.5 and 10.5
i jumped on the Achilles bandwagon too, no brainer. 225/35 on a 9.5 and 245/30 on a 10.

I bought 225/35/19's for my 9"s and 235/35/19's for my 10's. Is there any particular reason why you went with 245? I had major issues last year with tire leaks and I wanted to get a little more width. I was thinking about 245's but came to the conclusion that they weren't going to fit. I've read on a few forums that Achilles run small and I'm sorta hoping that isn't the case. Guess I can try them out and see how it goes. For tires that are less than $100 bucks, it's not a big deal if I need to get more :biggthumpup:

I didn't need as much stretch on the rears because lips' tucked (barely, lol) I would like to run a 235 on the rears just so the stretch matches front and rear but again I don't really need it and plus I'm all for as much rubber on the road as possible. 30 series isn't too much sidewall to stretch, lol. bumpin the fronts up to a 235 to match stretch to rear's isn't an option...no room...hope that helps. :shrug:

I mounted a new set of achilles ATR's this weekend. I went with 225/35/19 on my front 9's and 235/35/19 on my rear 10's. The ride is smooth and comfortable so far.
I had 225/35/19 mounted on 19x9.5 and 245/30/20 on my 20x10 and they were great, give well to stretch and wear forever. Due to bubbling the hell out of inner sidewalls I just replaced my Delinte D7 with Achilles because of my past good experience with them and the Achilles are noticeably wider. Had perfect clearance before with the Delintes but rub like a mofo now going in and out of parking spaces
I love achilles...Nankang wear too fast n noisy. Triangle wasn't good for me either.
