I've had a pair of achillies on the front of my 33 for the past 2 years, no noise at all, definetely not wearing out quick at all, i give them two thumbs up for the price, at the time my 235/35/19's were 220 in a Nankang or 180 in an achillies, which actually looks identical to the nankang except for the brand on the side of the tyre (obviously!). I'm not the smartest man in the world but i reckon they would have come from the same factory.
