225/0 18 Tyre Review Highlights

Accelera X Grip rated 100% while driving a BMW 523i tourer
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
As per the other reviewer, there's not much info out there from people with these tyres but based on other Accelera range of tyres & comments on those I took the plunge & bought a full set of 245/40x18 for my BMW 523i Touring.

After the first few miles they really started to grip well. I have pushed the car quite hard on wet & dry roads & the amount of grip is superb. I could not make them break traction despite my cornering being far faster than was appropriate for the road condition (wet & cold).

They are just as good on warmer days on dry roads.

On my car there's no obvious road noise that would be higher than expected from any good summer tyre.

It's too early to comment on tyre wear but there's no noticeable wear after 2k miles.
I'll definitely buy them again & would recommend them very highly to anyone.
They cost approx £50 each which makes them a bit of a bargain!

Nitto NT01 rated 69% while driving a Nissan Skyline R34
Driving on track for 2000 spirited miles
Brilliant tyre and will buy again!!

Dry grip is insane and on a heavy car they warm up pretty quick as you would expect from a semi slick.

With 100 wear rating, they have done about 8 track days and still grip even at the tread indicator level. So definitely great value even at the recent price increase.

Can happily drive on light rain but you would be mad to drive them on heavy rain.

Only bad thing about them on a heavy car is that they heat up after about 6 or 7 laps. Possibly not a concern for lighter cars.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat rated 61% while driving a BMW
Driving on a combination of roads for 67000 average miles
These are good tyres. 2 sets for 67000 miles! That is great I think! But a big but for me was the comfort. Really not good but is fun flats full stop. I have a bmw 330d sport had to look out for any bump in the road. Changed to non run flat tyres now I look for bumps in the road. Car on turn in not quite as sharp on turn in. But only done about 30 miles on them. Half the road noise too. If like me was reading and thinking if I should change to non run flat tyres. I would for sure change them. Not a cost thing to me. More everyday comfort. Tyres I put on by the way are Vredestein Ultrac Vorti. From people's great reviews not tyre tests results. Hope these last as long! But sure they won't. Will do and update on them soon.
