Xxr522+achilles+tokico+h&r review

*******MY REVIEW ON MY SUSPENSION AND TIRES*****

I HAVE INSTALLED A SET OF XXR 522 WHEELS IN 19X8.5 +38 OFFSET, WRAPPED IN ACHILLES ATR SPORT TIRES 235/35/19, PAIRED WITH TOKICO BLUE SHOCKS AND H&R SPORT SPRINGS.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY PICKY AND SPECTACLE ABOUT NO NAME BRAND TIRES, BUT I HAVE TO SAY, I COULDNT WAIT TO WRITE MY REVIEW AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW HOW GOOD AND QUIET THESE TIRES ARE. PURCHASED FROM EASY TIRES SHIPPED TO MY HOUSE ALL FOUR FOR $486!!!!!, I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN AND PUT THEM TO THE TEST ON CORNERING AND DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND SO FAR ,SO GOOD,NO PROBLEMS, AND ID BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY I AM A VERY AGRESSIVE DRIVER.

AS FOR THE SHOCKS AND SPRINGS,ITS LIKE THEY GO TOGETHER....LOL
IN MY OPINION IT DRIVES BETTER THAN STOCK, ITS NOT BOUNCY OR TO STIFF, ITS JUST PERFECT.......ONLY ADVICE I HAVE IS IF YOU CAN AFFORD COILOVERS BUY THEM, IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER TO GET THE DROP YOU LOOKING FOR, IF YOU LIKE GOING LOW OTHER THAN THAT ITS GOOD FOR DAILY DRIVERS WITH A MILD DROP

I have said it more than a few times!! The ACHILLES tires are a great deal for the price, and an outstanding performance. In traction and all around I can say they go head to head against the most expensive tires out there! In addition, your car looks SAAAAAWEET with the XXR's.

Like any good ball player, race driver, etc., as they get old they retire. Same happens with tires, when new they perform better than when they get old, that's why we replace them, any tire!!

Well said.
i understand the part you get what you pay for, but these tires cought me off guard on how good they are, people here on azine love the general uhp tire and in my opinion that tire sucks with its very soft sidewalls.

Believe me when I say I am anal about whatever I put on my car! I have put two sets of these tires on my TL, and I don't regret it one bit! As me, you will be a happy camper with these babies, in wet and dry with a great lifespan!!
