Opinion from outside the UK

I got it in size 205/40R18. previously I had 225/40R18 Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. After driving a few hundred miles what I can say about this tyre is that it's really good, the grip in corners is sensational, probably even better than Vredesteins that I had last year and they were also bought as new ones. And I can say that I drive aggressively. At the beginning I had mixed feelings, but now I know that you won't get anything better for that price than Accelera ALPHA Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

Deciding to buy Accelera ALPHA suggested a number of positive reviews, but now I know that the most useful are those negative. Even when setting tire vulcanizer machine in balancing could see some defect. Firstly, on each wheel had to be assumed min to 70 g to break it down, and second tank are not equal on each of the beating was 4, which results in tragic comfort. At a speed of about 120 km / h the car literally jumps. Do not give anything to move the tire on the rim and re-balancing. I do not recommend anyone to dynamic driving on wet pavement and the more belts or lines (drives like ice). The straight-ahead noise is still as ok, but cornering the massacre tires even roar. Sorry, but I will advertise these tires. I do not recommend anyone or these or other tires from China, Indonesia, or from a different country from the east. My cousin bought the same just a different size and has the same as me. I sincerely advise against anyone. Read more Collapse

Opinion from outside the UK

I do recommend Accelera ALPHA to my Vauxhall Corsa. I had Dunlops previosly fitted but I bought Accelera ALPHA as I wanted to save some money. For me they are just splendid. They perform very well on wet/dry tarmac. The tyre is multi purpose: I was drifting, I was making speed tests and I thought that ALPHA is a rubish tyre. It turned to be the other way round. They are way better than dunlops. Very good braking properties. I think that the only disadvantage of their grip is the fact that they will be probably wear-off a bit quicker. Although they are not the most quiet tyres I had in my life, their performance just dimms the noise. Read more Collapse

Product description

Accelera ALPHA

Technical description: The Accelera ALPHA is a summer tyre. The model has a directional tread pattern to cater for its primary target market of sporty passenger cars. This gives it excellent grip on wet surfaces, which is very important to drivers who prefer a dynamic style of driving, whatever the weather. The tread wears very slowly thanks to the balanced pressure of the tyre on the road surface.

The lightness of the product ensures lower rolling resistance, thus reducing fuel consumption. The tyre is light and strong thanks to the special compound used in its manufacture.
