Looking at some wheels, brand new, going to be fitted with Accelera tyres (brand new) for an extra £200. Seen them going for around £40 each, but he is fitting the alloys on them etc.

Are accelera suitable for a FFRR? Would they last long at all or the tread to wear off quick?

Thanks.

there's a few test results here if it helps..

How long would you say they last, in miles? Before they need changing?

looking at the test results it looks like this tyre gets between 3 4 out of 5 ,so that aint bad ...as for miles , it depends how and where you drive....

It says 10.000 km. Is that 10 or 10,000 haha.
And driving around town, motorway sometimes, no more than 60/70mph.

thats probably 10k....you wont get as much miles as a well known brand like conti etc but it should be ok....

As I have NEVER heard of Accelera tyres I would avoid them like the plague.

They may as well be called "My family will die in my car because I bought cheap ass tyres"

He will fit michelin for around £400, (fitting tyres to alloys not to car) so does that sound a decent price? Any certain number tyre to avoid/look for?

michelin diamaris arent bad, had them before on my x5
i now have toyo proxes on the rr and theyre ok too 2002 td6 vogue, 06 supercharged facelift

ive had the toyos on for 7 months now about 12000km and they still look new , fine in the rain and handle good too, and no road noise, all in all a good tyre in my opinion 2002 td6 vogue, 06 supercharged facelift

Used to run Toyos on the Alfa: very good tyres that were fitted as standard to TVR and Subaru at some point if memory serves me correct - sweet as! Don't know what they're like on a 4x4 though...

How are the toyo proxies then, and do you have 22's ?

no sorry standard 18's but like i said good tyres, here they are 7 months old about 12000km
