Barum are also a good budget tire, I had them on a type R. My review of those would be almost the same as the OPs review of the Achilles, except I'd go so far as to say they are EXCEPTIONALLY quiet in terms of road noise, and possibly not as long lived (I sold the car before they were consumed). They are also a little more expensive, but then again, they are basically Continentals, just made in Czech Republic, Barum is a sub of Continental and provides them with the rubber and designs.
