Anyone ever use ATLAS tires ?

[odie]

Thinking of purchasing the ATLAS Force HP for one of the SOULs further down the road . It's 205/60-16 H-rated and they're asymmetric tires that cost under $80 . They have a silica compound .

many many years ago( Last Century) .. when they were the house brand of tires at Standard oil/SOHIO/BP stations, and SOHIO/BP ProCare locations.... and made by UniRoyal...
not sure who owns the brand now... apparently Linlong owns them..

Nothing wrong with them, but you should consider all-weather tires. You might like these Prinx Hiseason 4S. While the Armstrong Blu Trac PC Flex is cheaper, it's currently out-of-stock.

Simpletire has the (Nokian) Nordman Solstice 4 under $100

I wouldn't buy them if you must drive on the snow in the northeast.

The Force HP are A/S . Have deep siping ( in photos ) to help with traction . Also , considering the GENERAL Altimax 365AW which have many more deep sipes .

The General 365AW is excellent. I can vouch for it. The Toyo Celsius II is good, and of course, the Nordman Solstice.

So you're considering both premium tires and cheap ones

We used to sell/stock them at the Amoco gas station I worked as a kid in 1973/1974. We used a bubble balancer and never had a comlplaint.

They were round and made of rubber.

Same tires and a bubble balancer at a Chevron station in '72/73...

700/A/A, 1521 load range; seems worth considering imho...

They look like they would do well as a summer tyre

Atlas is a LingLong brand along with Leao. Neighbors have Leao Lion Sports on a beater, and the siping/tread doesn’t look like this example. Michelin-style zig-zag siping is slowly making its way down to “budget” tires.

They don’t look terrible but the usual disclaimers about Chinesium tires applies here.

 

[thescreensavers]

Hard pass, don't buy Chinese budget tires.

Other budget tires can be had for less expensive than $80 ea so I would pass on these. Or you can get a better brand tire for $8-$15 more per tire

Found the ATLAS Force HP and FORCE UHP in the '20 C.R. Buying Guide . Not a bad rating for the HP . They're owned by LingLong Tire and produced in Thailand .

I remember the Amoco station my dad did business with in the 1960s and 1970s carrying Atlas tires. Dad purchased a few sets of them for the family sedan and his F100.
