rtbiscuit Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 they don't show up on here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/ which either means they are uber new, or uber cheap, or both. personally i'd go the tried and tested route falken 452's toyo T1r Vredestein ultrac sessantas Michelin pilot sport 2's bridgstone re050's they are the most regualrly mentioned brands, and most used on here.

Kings Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Accellera are an out and out budget tyre, I would avoid on the Z!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 This maybe be a silly question but why are budget tyre no good? The speed rating is ok for the car and if all you do is town and motor way driving wouldnt this be ok? I will be going for the toyo, but just wondering....

Kings Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Generally its down to how they perform in wet conditions, braking especailly. There was a test done earlier in the year where Continentals were put up against 5 different budgets tyres, one fact that stood out to me "The Linglong equipped VW Golf Autocar used for its tests was still doing 27.8mph at the point where it had stopped on the Continentals" You would find they would wear out quicker but not offer good levels of dry weather grip. As an example I've had 2 x Pirelli P Zeros on the rear of mine, the level of grip is great, but the payoff is they wore out in 6k miles!! No matter how carefully you drive, you cannot plan for the unexpected, you could be driving well within your limits & the cars limits, someone pulls out infront of you, i'd rather be stopped than doing almost 30mph! At the end of the day it's a personal choice, I would never skimp on the 4 tiny footprints of rubber that keep you on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
