Passenger Car Summer Trackday and Competition Tires Tire Review Highlights

Accelera 651 Sport rated 60% while driving a MINI Cooper S
Driving on mostly country roads for 6300 spirited miles
As with all things each of us has different experiences. I bought these Accelera 651 Sports as the price was great. They went on my Mini Cooper S, 2006. Initially I thought they were very good. I bought them in January 2024 in the cold weather and they performed very well. The DOT put them at November 2023 so was happy there too.

Jump to 6 months later and they started to feel a little spongey. They were wearing quite a bit, I think they are a soft compound so fair enough but I was definitely not getting the handling I first had. Turn-in was slower. Once turned it kind of felt like the car moves a little and then grips. Jump to the next winter and the grip had disappeared to a frightening level in the cold. I get it's a summer tire but it was way better the previous Jan. Very slippy. Especially as I'm FWD. When my MOT came up the following January. Tires 12 months old and about 6300 miles, 14 from DOT I had advisories for the rubber perishing on all 4 tires. On looking myself I could really see it. That's 12 months and done. I won't personally buy these again. Maybe if you're going to the track and want something cheap to wear out in a day.

I've now just put 4 Eagle F1 Ass 6 on so fingers crossed.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rated 89% while driving a BMW 335i
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Quite pricey tires, yet very grippy and also confortable once you let a few psi out of them.

Davanti Protoura Race rated 67% while driving a Volkswagen Passat b6 2.0tdi 110 crd r line
Driving on mostly town for 8000 average miles
Tbh.. my scores are purely from how I found them in both wet and dry conditions.. adding the fact these are' dry/summer seasons tires and not your your winter tires.. though I've used them more over this winter than previous years.. based on my score ratings.. the protoura tires are definitely in my opinion dry/track orientated purposeful tires only.. in the slightest of wet weathers at avarage to just above your normal road speeds these tires are not forgiven especially on the uk's poor roads, i'e urban city /built up areas where road condition are obviously more hazardous and dangerous road conditions from buses hgvs etc etc.. these tires will at the slighly above speeds cause both oversteer and understeer if driven mostly obviously the normal road speeds..hence the less traction you get.. my overall opinion is these protoura tires 200's upwards definitely a dry road tire only or dry track tire

Kumho V70a rated 76% while driving a Fiat 500 Abarth
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Fitted a set of soft compound v70a's and they have performed really well during motorkhana events. Plenty of grip and stiff side walls for stability. Haven't tried them on track in the wet but have been using them as a daily and have had no issues on rainy days. My only concern would be how quick they wear but that is to be expected for soft compounds. Also cheaper than most of it's contenders.

Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 rated 96% while driving a Mitsubishi Evolution X
Driving on mostly country roads for 1500 spirited miles

Toyo R888 R rated 74% while driving a Rover 114GTa VVC
Driving on a combination of roads for 2500 spirited miles
Used as fast road mostly there isn't much that comes close in the size. decent grip even in negative temperatures. More progressive wet grip than other contenders such as ar-1 and NS2R or the Hankook v205

Accelera 651 Sport XTRA rated 90% while driving a Toyota Yaris
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
I fitted these on both my GR Yaris and A110 Alpine both road and track. These are by far the best choice economically. On the track they are predictable , grippy and user friendly much like AR1 Quick to come on, great turn in and no snap oversteer. The big surprise is the very creditable wet grip, so good that I have no temptation to change rubber for the winter. The super economy is that one set of wheels is enough. No more lying on the cold ground changing wheels.

Toyo R888 R rated 26% while driving a Peugeot 505 v6turbo 310 bhp
Driving on track for 20 spirited miles
Very very noisey. They are ok there first heat cycle but they don’t wake up after that couldn’t get under 2 minutes at Phillip island when it’s normally in the mid 1.50s so they are cheap for a reason. I wouldn’t buy again should of stayed with Dunlops semis as they are good until they're bald, I’d keep away personally

Nankang AR 1 rated 78% while driving a Suzuki swift sport
Driving on track for 500 spirited miles
Running these tires in autocross events in Swift Sport, they need an effort to be driven to the limit, glues to the track, runs happy with modified suspension and negative camber, tire presssure plays vital role on how they perform, day and night difference in performance at different psi’s

Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS rated 87% while driving a Honda Civic Type R
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
Was wondering what was all the rave about the re71rs, so i decided to get these tires for my daily after my AD08R had worn down to 40% (4 years of use). After breaking in for 500km and turned it down to 30psi, I had my first chance to hoon around. I was gobsmack, the dry grip is just unbelievable. I cant say how much lateral grip this tire holds, the tires were just begging for me to push. If i was on my Michelin PS5, the car would had wrap itself around a tree. Turn in was crisp and sharp. I would expect it to be loud too, but it wasn’t. The comfort and tire noise was comparable to my PS5 (winter set). I would highly recommend this tire, even for your daily. The tire has transformed my Type R to a complete street weapon. I cant say much about wear or wet review yet, but will update this as it go. I don’t mind the wear tbh (even if it last only 10000km with aggressive street driving), as I have already committed/able to replaced these tires every year. So Im not too fuss about wear. If you want downright GRIP. This is it, bar-none.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08R rated 77% while driving a Honda Civic Type R
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
This will be the end of life review for this tire (25000miles /40000km). I have run 2 sets of ad08r back to back. My car is 2019 FK8 FBO Custom tuned , FWD (350whp 510nm) . I love this tire when it was new. It grips well, handles well, road feedback and all I would give 9/10. Wet 7/10 and comfort 7/10. The tire lasted 2 years before I really had to change it. Reason: The tire noise was just too much for me to bear, sounds like a wheel bearing gone bad just about at any speed. The tread still had 30% left though. I would personally say this tire is great when new-mid life, but after mid life and going beyond 2 years, minus “2 points” on all categories that I’ve ranked initially. Of course with all tires, the scores would drop, thats expectable. However most people replace tires when worn, but for this tire its actually the noise, it’s just unbearable. Despite that i would still rate highly for ad08r even though they stopped making it. I would personally use it no more than 18 months. After that, discard it even if you still have treads left. Overall, I am happy with it throughout its use. Kept me safe both spirited driving on the streets and total 3 light track duty (3 sessions of 3-5 short laps with 80-90% effort). To buy again, I don’t think so. I’ve moved on, now with Potenza RE71RS, currently that tire is the grippiest tire I've ever put on my FK8 imo, a bar up from A052. But then again this can change as it ages/wear, will review them later mid life/end life.
