put a on set and about a week later took a 1200 mile round trip which included the tail of the dragon and driving in heavy rain ( forgive me Father for I have sinned ) . I have no complaints about these tires . smooth quiet ride . all in I had just under 400$ and that included mounting and balance . ordered 2 from walmart and 2 from tires easy online . the ones from tires easy had road hazard included . I don't daily drive or track my 98 so they should last me a long time.

I've had a set of Achilles on for just over a year and they are doing well. I think they will handle everyday driving with no problems. A lot quieter than og run-flats.

Not on my C5, but I have used them on other cars and been surprisingly pleased.
