anyone tied Accelera Iota ST68 - tyres ?

hi all,

have 22" wheels and currently have 285/35R22 with Ventus ST Hankook fitted never been happy with them to be fair but used them for 45k ! to much road noise for my liking.

was chatting another day to a fellow friend and he said he recently fitted the accerlera and liked them but of course they are a cheap tyre? so not sure.

they do have the Accelera Iota ST68 - 285/40 R22 which have a bigger sidewall which I do like the idea off and heard the 40 profile give a good ride with 22"

any advice will be greatly appreciated

thanks 2003 Range Rover 4.4 Litre V8 - Adriatic blue

They are worse than awful. Had them on the back end of my D3 a while back, and the back end was all over the place Shocked

I guess he's not been out int he rain yet then Whistle

It's very much a personal preference, but tyres are not something I'd skimp on. I'd hate to be driving everywhere like Miss Daisy as it would always be at the back of my mind.

Cheap tyres only have to let you down once to be not so cheap any more.....

That said, plenty of people seem to fit them and have no problems.

I bought a P38 back in the day from a dealer and he had replaced all 4 tyres with new Acceleras. I was totally unaware they were a cheap tyre Embarassed

But to be honest I found them fine and they were very quiet, although they were only 18inch with a 55 profile.

From memory they had copied the tread pattern from the equivalent Michelin.

On a 22inch and 40 profile that could be totally different.

I bought a Volvo a couple of years back with them on... they should be banned, absolutely useless and dangerous, four brand new went in a skip...

Don't skimp on tyres, it's not worth it... Pete

They have very little dry road grip IMHO..

I don’t think spending money on branded safety items is a waste..! Pete

Each to their own, but even when all I could afford were old bangers, I’d still buy decent tyres. I even used to pay extra for decent tyres on my company Golf GTi, where the fleet manager wanted the cheapest possible and I insisted on either Continentals or Pirelli’s.

You can if you know what you are doing, especially if you have been advanced driver trained, but of course you do need quality tyres for that.

The daily journey to the supermarket is not going to challenge them! Why pay for something you will never use but at 4 x the price.


Why pay for a FFRR to go to the supermarket when a cheaper car to run will suffice ?

No matter how carefully you drive there is always the possibility that someone else will do something stupid & a couple of metres extra stopping distance equates to injury/damage/inconvenience............. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6

Last four cars

SL55 Terrible understeer uneven wear, overall dreadful and quickly replaced with Michelin
2 X CLS350 Continentals used to tramline and roadnoise was dreadful , Replaced with Yokohama
2012 CL500 bi-turbo, it `had Continentals but they were replaced with Dunlops due to an offer
Current 2011 4.4tdv8 had 255/55/19 pirelli verde which were noisy quishy expensive.


Just trolling then - or have you run Acceleras ?

I stick with my original post that if you need a premium tyre, even once, it's paid for itself. I like to know that I could perform an emergency stop on a cold wet motorway and pull to a halt in the shortest distance possible.

I recognise that there isn't one overall 'best' tyre by all measures - but there do appear to be some that are consistently worse by every measure.....

Pre FFRR I ran a VW T5 - a 2.5/5-pot running at 200BHP & torque to match.

There were quite a number of guys on the same forum as I also running a lot of power.

A few tried Accelera's - they soon got the reputation of "ditchfinders". 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6
