Are there any 165/55R15 Achilles ATR-K Economist tire users out there?

[troop]

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone here are using the Achilles ATR-K 165/55R15 tires on the front of their Spyders? Just looking for some cheap car tires to put on a spare set of rims. I was hoping the Federal Formoza would become available again, but no such luck. Thanks for any experienced input..

Yes I have them on my Rt now. I like them better than the federals. Traction is very good and found there less noisy than the federals.

Just ordered a pair for my OEM wheels. Being in WI, gonna be awhile before I swap out and give them a spin

Not yet, but they are on my short list of tires to consider when the originals are worn out.

I put them on my 2015 RT-S. I like the feel of them but haven't been able to ride far yet.

Mine arrived last week. $128 (with tax)/pair shipped from Amazon. Took three days. MFR date of 3621, so they're pretty fresh. Being -7*, I'm in no hurry to get them mounted . They'll be my spare tire/OEM wheel set, as I have PPA wheels/Vredestein tires on the byke.

Have you tried them in rainy weather? These are available where just about any other tire is months out for shipping if even available.

The description leads one to believe they aren't the best choice for cold climates but good in rain.
"This makes this tire an excellent choice for every-day driving and commuting all-year round in climates that dont get freezing temperatures or snow. It is an excellent three season tire and handles heavy rain and flooded roads easily. "

If you hibernate in the winter, looks like a good option.
