1 tire has an egg on sidewall/weak sidewall

Pros: Price, wear, and noise Low cost and seems to wear well Cons: Strength, snow traction, ability to balance Bulge formed on sidewall of one tire, assuming it's from a pothole. I've never had another brand tire do this. Tends to shake at high speeds even when balanced. Not good in the snow.

Would not buy these again. Their traction is not confidence inducing. Braking was OK. Turning on offramps was scary. The tires always felt like they were barely holding on. Treadwear was acceptable for the price. Buy a better quality tire.

The tires are performing as expected. I knew that I was buying what would be considered a summer tire so I can't fault it for not having a great snow rating. They have performed well in the light snow that we have experienced. If there is a drawback it would be that I believe the sidewalls seem a bit weak in withstanding curb hits as well as hard cornering. I highly recommend getting tire protection. When I made my purchase the tires were less than $100 per tire so for me, it was a really great deal.

Good overall tires for the price . Just make sure to rotate every 6000 k & keep the air pressure correct to get the best wear & performance. Simple tire perfection start to finish as usual ??'?

Great for the price. Very quiet and nice riding tires. Handle great, even in the rain. Much better than Goodyears I had previously. 20in. Rims make the car ride hard and are normally noisy. But these are awesome. Definitely will buy again!

Any info you'are still looking for?

Have a question about Achilles Desert Hawk UHP tires?

Yes, the high silica content of the Achilles Desert Hawk UHP's rubber formulation means low rolling resistance and increased fuel efficiency.

No, the Achilles Desert Hawk UHP is not suitable for use in winter weather conditions or when temperatures are consistently below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
