As many of you know from reading my other content, I'm competing in the SCCA Time Trials series, which requires a 200 Treadwear or higher tire for everything but the most extreme cars that compete. This is a great spot for the Accelera 651 Sport 200 Treadwear, where I finished 2nd in class at VIR in March of 2021.
We all know that motorsports is a high risk activity. Being given the opportunity to push multiple thousands of pounds of metal around you to positions and levels of grip that you simply don't see on public streets can take its toll on the machine, as well as the person, in the best of circumstances.
Have the days gone of going to a garage and purchasing a set of tires? At Tire Streets we think that purchasing tires online is the way forward. Being able to pick and choose your perfect set of tires at your own leisure without the pressure of purchasing on the spot. What could be better?
Performance tires vary from tire to tire, and what you need from each tire varies depending on you, your car, and how you’re using it. Whether you’re slamming it sideways around a bend or competing for the best time around a lap, the amount of grip you need can be a little different.
There is so much to prepare for, not to mention getting your build back on the asphalt and ready to tear it up. That’s why we decided to help put together a small list of a few things that you need to prepare for.
There are typically three categories of tires that you see on the race track (road course), and they each have their pro's, con's, places, benefits, and strengths. They also have their price points which have to be factored in. In my opinion these categories are: street tires, inexpensive lapping tires, and competition tires.
Holiday shopping for the drifter in your life can often times be challenging, if not expensive. Check out the list of holiday gift suggestions we put together to help cross them off you list without ever leaving your couch.
So how does this rubber circle make such a big difference in your performance? Let us explain.
This review has been a long time coming. The past two seasons have been so long and ongoing it almost doesn’t feel like the time has really passed. Today I get to talk about tires and my experience with the 651s. I’ll write on the PHI and PHI R later on as I think the 651s are the hot topics as of late.
