yo dawg I heard you like accelera, so I put an accelera in your accelera so you can accelera while you accelera.
Kerosene is made in the same refinery as petrol, doesn't make them interchangeable products
Whoosh?

The replies, they do not disappoint I might just get them solely for the ocuk reaction
That would be a troll of DannyW standards.
Better grip than Michelins or Contis in just 48 hours? Wow. I thought tyres required at least a few hundred miles bedding in before they reached optimum grip... Must be pretty damn good!
I think part of it stems from people comparing what brand new mid range tyres are like against a set of worn out premium tyres.
OMG THESE ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE WORN OUT TYRES I REPLACED THEM WITH.

This is a very good point, people who are on 10k old tyres or whatever, stick some low cost **** on and think they are amazing.
I bet a lot of the user submitted tyre reviews you see online are exactly like that.
You know what gets me, I've got "Minerva's F105's" on my RX8, for road use, perfectly acceptable and I couldn't give a monkey's toss what others think... when I replace them, then I'll be getting better tyres because the wet performance isn't what I want in a RWD car, however, for now and in the dry, they grip perfectly fine and I'll just use them for track when I upgrade to Goodyears. When it rains, I just don't boot it, but that's what I'd still do with top tyres on.
Try them, see what you think and if they work **** everyone else mate, what does it matter as long as you're happy with them. Just be wary that in the wet this is when cheap tyres lose there browny points, but I'll tell ya what, in the dry in normal conditions, I'd love to see the "track" experts on motors do a pepsi challenge on them rofl.
EDIT: Just make sure that if buying you shop around as you can get some deals on top makes now i.e. 205/40/18 Good Year Asymmetric 2 £102 inc VAT... now that's a steal.

I still thought my kumho's were impressive 6k miles in but its still a good point
Pugheaven this is mostly for my own amusement, its a semi serious thread I knew exactly how the replies would go based on the posters but at the same time I was curious for some genuine posts, you're right though most of tge time you just have to try these things, like I say the kumho's were really good

Seeing as I could feel a noticeable difference between different brands of "decent" tyres on track in my LCR, I'm willing to bet I could feel the difference between this dross and a decent tyre, especially on a track.
Well, we'll never know will we... and the OP will not be tracking anyway and day to day? No ****ing way could you tell the difference in general driving (assuming general driving isn't tanking it around like a tool)... sorry but you wouldn't. The everyday driver will notice nothing apart from wet performance possibly or road noise. I've had all sorts of tyres and in general running in the dry there's **** all difference... even when I went from LingLongs to Toyo Proxes in the Saab, bog all difference in the dry because on a road you can't take the tyres to the limit in safety that much anyway and if you are pushing to that limit then you're driving like a **** anyway... wet was another story! On a track, who knows, but how many people really track their cars and how many people who track would want to put these on? Not many, but I'll be tracking mine with my Minerva's on lol.

The difference would be noticeable in an emergency stop situation when the car takes longer to come to a stop. A few feet extra could be the difference between a crash and stopping short.
A serious response.
Accelera tyres are not going to be the best. they will do the job and meet minimum requirements but ultimately will not offer any benefits to you other than being cheaper.
you have a nice car relentless, put some decent rubber on it.
what size in particular are you looking at and budget per corner?
also, Andrew Moore ran Accelera tyres on his FN2 which makes them instantly uncool
