Anyone have an opinion on Achilles Desert Hawk XMT tires?

[langester]

I have been looking at tires (been looking for a while), I came across these Achilles Desert Hawk XMT in 33x12.50r15. They look like they are a decent tire, the only thing that bothers me is that they are 8ply. I don't want my Bronco to ride like a tank.
Anyone have any experience with these good or bad?

Thanks in advance!

They look good but they are made in Indonesia , not saying that's bad, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
Sorry that's all I got

I appreciate it! I had never heard of them before , the price looks good but, I don't want to buy a turd either. I have been looking at tires till my eyes have bled. I hate being on a tight budget!
Thanks for the reply!

Don't let wifey pluck the little hairs off the tires. Oh wait that was Samson. Achilles has the weak tendon

For what it is worth, and the results may not translate to big off road tires, but...
on another forum where we worry about performance tires for 13 inch rims, we have two choices, Federal and Achilles. The Federals have proven to be unbalanceable for most people, in other words, not round. The Achilles, which we all originally thumbed our noses at because of their country of origin, have turned out to be shockingly good and round. It is possible that you will be pleased with the Achilles. Just sayin'.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it. I have been checking out all of those sources for tires. I am looking pretty hard at the Deegan 38's that 4wheelparts has on sale right now too. I saw those Achilles and can't find anyone local that has run them so I was hoping someone here would chime in. It is good to hear that the company has some good feedback on their other tires as well.

Thanks for the help, its always appreciated!
