MINI DS3 Performance Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Accelera PHI R given 34% (205-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
These were fitted by the dealer on a new car and they are probably the worst tires I've ever used. They're about average for grip in the dry and probably acceptable for the price, but in the wet they are absolutely terrifying.

On a motorway in the rain, they feel as if you could aquaplane at any moment and changing lanes is a genuinely scary experience even at low speeds. Under braking when wet, they just don't want to stop and the car feels floaty and squirrely, especially down hill. Pulling away from junctions and roundabouts when the roads are damp is fun as well.

If it wasn't for the fact I couldn't bring myself to throw away four new tires, they'd have been binned off right away. However, I thought I'd wear them down over the summer then swap them out for some PS5s when the weather turned. Luckily I've done over 4000 miles with them and the fronts don't seem to be wearing great so I won't feel too guilty about getting rid of them soon!
