Cheap $95 (but good) Tires - 225/55 R19

[AtomicInternet]

I've got 10k miles left on my lease, so I'm not interested in spending on expensive tires. Just a set that can get me the 10k miles to the end and have enough treadwear left so I'm not dinged on return.

Enter the
Achilles Desert Hawk HT3 Highway 225/55R19 99V SUV/Crossover Tire

Who names a tire brand Achilles? I've logged 500 miles on these so far and can confirm they are quiet and stable. V rated so you can go up to 150mph (if you wanted to)

I get nothing for sharing this, just thought I would in case there are fellow leasing folks that just want the cheapest acceptable tire they can get.

The original equipment (OEM) tires on a Mustang Mach-E typically have a load rating of 103 or 104

If Ford realizes you've fitted a 99 then you might get charged for 4 new correct spec tires at lease end.

I surprised that any tire shop would put a load rating 99 tire on a Mach-e. That is dangerous and way below spec. Most concerning is that reviews say the tire has a weak sidewall which the Mach-e is going to eat up.

Those tires dont meet the minimum load rating for the car of 103. Those are rated 99. That’s about 200lbs less per tire then the minimum recommended,

Thanks for sharing this. I am in a similar situation and was looking for affordable tires too

the tire has a weak sidewall

A weak heel in this case

This is why I don’t trust used cars. Like house flippers. Put the cheapest most dangerous bandaid on the problem and let the next guy’s family take the hit. It would be better to take the hit at the end. I hope they notice the incorrect tires and charge you 5x more.

A weak heel in this case

Some might even say it's the Achilles' heel!

In all seriousness, DO NOT FOLLOW SUIT on this advice. Tires for the MME are $240 apiece, minimum, from a reputable retailer. By now, you should know (and enjoy) the MME's handling and performance capabilities. That translates to what kind of things the tire has to bear to maintain grip on the road. That is something you do not want to fail.

This thread probably isn't going like the OP imagined...

OP, buy these, install them, sell the Achilles on FB marketplace:

Goodyear does

I thought Michelin owned Achilles, or at least a substantial stake.

I didn't imagine anything, always good to get more information from the community. Did you imagine this would be my response?

Achilles tires are manufactured in Indonesia. Specifically, they are made by PT Multistrada Arah Sarana Tbk, which operates factories in East Cikarang, Indonesia. This Indonesian company has been producing tires under the Achilles brand since 1991.

I think you or the @Administrator should delete this thread entirely because it is providing advice that adversely impacts safety.
