    I have Accelara Phi on my car and find them very good, they were also on my previous car and I found them very good on that too, which is why I didn't hesitate in putting them on the ZT when I came across them locally, I had planned on getting Falken or Hankook though which were much the same pricewise (maybe €10 more a corner)

    Of course, because they are relatively cheap and an economy brand folks "in the know" will tell you they are sh1t and have no place on a car.

    cheers roverjames i reckon they could be a good buy,

    the size is 2055017 for a focus and the price is €66 (takeaway ive my own tyre machine) what do you think of this price?? there a very expensive tyre size

    Wouldn't have a clue on price to be honest, they were €125 a piece for mine. They are a summer tyre but in the wet I find them perfectly fine, even on the 520i when I could have done with less grip at times :pac:

    My zt came with economy tyres, after changing them to Potenzas I immediately noticed: Much smoother ride, quieter, far better in the wet, better in the dry and more feel.

    Of course, because they are relatively expensive and a premium brand folks "in the know" will tell you they are pointless and have no place on a car.

    :pac:

    anyone who says that "linglongs", "nexen" and other cheap chinese or korean tyres are good probably never drove yohohama, dunlop or other good tyres. Cheap ****s arent good, on dry tarmac not much difference but on wet its like driving on ice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    i have accellera on and i think they are pretty good. had continental ecos on before and i think these are better. that said....my parents brand new 07 mazda 3 came with 4 yokohamas....fantastic tyre....the rear ones are still on it with more than sufficient thread left
