Atlas Force UHP Tires

[CompOrangeFanatic]

Are you still running these Atlas tires? If so how are they holding up. I am looking at set of tires to go on the new wheels I bought.

Good timing my friend.lol I just installed my BC Forged RS45 wheels today along with a completely new set of Atlas Tires. I think they're definitely good enough to run as a daily tire. The tires in the pics I just took off the rear of my car and they still have over half tread left after some heavy lead foot driving since they were put on. I definitely recommend them as a good alternative to the more expensive tires out there.

Then I will be ordering a set for my self. They should go perfectly with my new Velgen Classic5 wheels. Question though, my front wheels are a 19x8.5. I was thinking of going with a 255/40 on them. Would a 265/35 fit those too? My rears are a 19x10. I will be running a 285/35 on those. I am lowerd on Steeda springs as my signature says. Don't want any rubbing.

My factory wheels I just took off were 20x9 with a 265/35/20 on the fronts with my Steeda Progressive springs and they fit just fine even with 20mm spacers. NO rubbing at all. A 265/35/19 will fit just fine on your 8.5" wheels.

Good to see others have purchased the Atlas tires.

If any of you drive in the rain, how’s the wet traction (normal driving, not hot dogging it)?

Wet traction is pretty good, I have no complaints. The only thing I haven't done is drive it in a torrential rain storm. Actually when getting on it it doesn't spin easily.

Atlas Force UHP are GARBAGE. and so is dealing with PRIORITY tire. In just over a year and a half a problem was noticed on the exterior side of the tires inside facing sidewall. A 2 inch crack has developed in the sidewall and a secondary 1/2 inch one also. NOT any type of road damage but a separation of the outer layer of rubber from the sidewall. Looks clearly that the layer was not fused or glued properly. Clearly a manufacture defect. No bubbles or cuts of any kind on the tire. Priority tire had me remove the tires to obtain numbers from the inside at my expense claiming they needed it to file a claim with the manufacture. now they refuse to help me stating some kind of improper use caused this tire to separate. Really.... its a mercedes passenger car drivin on city streets and highways not some off road vehicle. There is NO evidence of that, they are just making excuses. Thanks for nothing PRIORITY TIRE.
These tires also wear twice as fast as any 500+ rated tire EVER. in 15K they are worn down to just above the wear bar. GARBAGE!!!

I texted this pic to a friend of mine who used to do tires. He said it looks like a defect. Sometimes it could be caused by something sharp on the road, but in this case probably a defect. I've got over 25k on mine, and always make sure the pressure is around 32-35psi, and so far no issues. Wear looks about right to get 40-50k out of them.
I've seen this happen with a set of Continentals on my neighbors 335i. Except it happen to 3 of his tires. He was running pressure just 1-2 psi low, and driving it spirited on occasion. Not beating on them, but just giving them a good hard drive on occasion. That is usually the cause in most performance cars. The frequent swerving, flex and heat puts wear on tires amazingly fast.
