I have run the Achilles but not the Federal. In a 215/45/17

Its a decent tire, not super sticky though, treadwear around 400 iirc. I did notice the shoulders rubbing off after ~5k miles...but they were on the fronts, and the car has definitely been spun around a few times. Wet traction is excellent. I ended up selling the wheels that had the tires mounted so I cant comment on lifespan.
