It's super smooth and very comfortable.
Achilles 122
The Achilles 122 is a budget summer touring tyre with favourable owner comments on value and comfort in early use. Wet-weather ability and long-term durability remain uncertain in a small, mainly brief owner record.
The Achilles 122 has five positive overall verdicts from six owners, with value the most repeated specific praise. Early accounts also favour comfort, and individual owners describe good dry grip, handling and low noise. These are favourable impressions of a budget summer touring tyre, but only a few reviews give detail on each aspect. They support its appeal for a driver prioritising price and everyday comfort without establishing consistently strong grip across different conditions.
Half the reviews are initial impressions, while the mid-life accounts say little about wear. A general tread-life claim is therefore not supported, and there is little detail on wet-weather ability or grip retention. One end-of-life report describes a sidewall failure on poor roads; it is an individual account rather than evidence of a recurring weakness. With no independent tests here, the assessment depends entirely on these six owner experiences, whose favourable overall scores leave several important aspects unresolved.

These tyres really surprised me, I was just looking for a relatively cheap tyre for daily use, they are fitted to my "stanced" 92 Corolla running 15x8 wheels with 185/55r15 tyres stretched over them with 3.5° camber front and rear and I have done just under 10,000miles and they still look relatively new, no signs of wear at all. Also being on the cheaper side the grip has surprised me aswell. I highly recommend this tyre and would definitely purchase again.

I used these tires in Asia and the roads are really bad. My other C Drive tires held up well, but these tires always had problems. I actually was driving very slowly last week and had a side wall blow out. I decided these were too dangerous and changed back to original Yokohama.
