The Accelera 651 Sport is one of the most versatile r-compound tires out there. It’s been tried-and-true in autoX, drifting and time attack.

The lifespan of a tire can make or break how you perform at your next event.  The last thing anyone wants is buying a boatload of tires to realize they aren’t designed for the application you are using them in. 

Let’s tackle the difference between the stretchy and sturdy sidewalls and which might be a better fit for you!

What is an r-compound tire, what is a UHP and how does it differ from the rest?

Tire grooves are a major part of the tread pattern moulded across or around the tire. They contribute to the tire’s void ratio (groove area vs. contact area) to aid wet traction and increase the number of biting edges that enhance acceleration and braking traction on loose surfaces.

Knowing what treadwear works for the autosport that you are competing in can make a huge difference. The tires you use are the cornerstone of any race vehicle.
