Cheap drift tire challenge #5: Accelera PHI / light wheel vs heavy wheel!

For my 200th video (hooray!), I am starting my tire test videos back up for 2019. This time around I am giving the $55 shipped Accelera PHI tires a go, but with a small twist for science! I want to know if running the heavy OEM 350z wheel vs. the light weight STR 903 will make a difference in the laps I can squeak out. Who will win? How many laps did the Accelera manage to complete? Are they worth it? Watch the video to find out!

Dan, love this series! I do think that there are a lot of variables that change in between tests you have done, however the general description of each tire seems very accurate and is extremely helpful. Thank you for doing this!

[@Officer_Dan]

Thanks man. I try to keep everything I do on the track the same. Same temperatures, same line, same cooldowns, same angle. Cant keep it exact, but it's the closest I can get!!

[@petrol_garage]

I use this on my bmw m2, its perform well, dont like use expensive tire coz i do like powersliding in almost every u turn in my city😂

[@Officer_Dan]

Only way to be!

[@jrcanes5508]

With the Phis you need to keep them at a fixed pressure. Start out at 25, after a couple laps they will bump up to about 35. Bring them back down to 25 and you will see even longer life. I have been running these for a year now and you actually can get a lot of grip out of them. They have a high working pressure. I don’t recommend dropping below 23psi. Also the 225/40 18 measures about the same as a 245/40 Achilles atr sport 2. But only the 225/40 18 as far as I’m aware. If you order a 225/45 17 phi it will be significantly narrower.

[@Officer_Dan]

Great info dude! I never took any air out of the others, so to be fair I did the same with these. I have a few left though and I'll try it for sure. I.couldnt believe how wide these were, it's fantastic!

[@GTcruzin]

I have a set of these mount on 17x9 RPF1’s they perform great for the price point

[@SQUAREBIZ575]

Good stuff Dan. 👍 Ordered some Westlake's for the 19th's event!

[@Officer_Dan]

You gonna love em :)

[@802Garage]

Achilles tires next! So cheap. Thunderer would be cool too.

[@Officer_Dan]

I have the sport 1 and sport 2 on deck for the next video!

[@802Garage]

Niiice! Really cool videos. So hard to find any kind of tire reviews, no less drifting.

[@Officer_Dan]

@@802Garage indeed! That's where the idea for these came from. I just wanna help people drift on the cheap and get the most bang for their buck

[@VladV-b3u]

Would you recommend these tires for a daily commute for a small SUV ? And what is the difference between 215/50ZR18 and 215/50/R18. What is that "Z" in front of the diameter.

[@Officer_Dan]

Any of the tires I tested would be good daily driver tires. The z is the speed rating, so if you are using them on a suv, the regular non high speed rated tires would be great

[@EvanWoss]

Thanks for the science! I've been wondering what effect wheel width/stretch has on tire life lately. I might have to dawn my own lab coat and find out.

[@Officer_Dan]

Had I driven the same way as the heavies, less angle less wheel speed, I think these would have gone an extra lap or two!

[@andrescastro3064]

So do u recommended this tires for normal conduction? I mean, to drive about 160 kms/h aprox in road, and daily city drive?

[@wyslink9354]

its 2023 and those are premium tires now

[@Officer_Dan]

I know. Lol sadly these didn't age well

[@muasboy]

Thanks man 👍

[@David_Dcal]

Thanks Dan I ran the sa07s this weekend and got great life out of them!

[@Officer_Dan]

Right on! Those westlakes are choice for sure!

[@JCub316]

Same here, can't beat them for $55.

[@andrescastro3064]

Hey bro! Do you recommended for a daily nissan sentra 2017?

[@Rotard-mb5ys]

You called them a 280 tread wear but I'm reading everywhere they are 400. Were these the older version or human error?

[@BOOT]

The older tires were better than these all seasons

[@scallahan08]

You should give the milestar ms932 a try. Not sure if they're available in the 225/40 though.

[@Officer_Dan]

I'll check it out! Thanks dude

Thanks dude!!!

[@fabtown1457]

Is there a p.o. box we can send tires to ? I tried a bunch of tires last week and the iron man lasted a ton of laps at parc. However the Achilles atr 2s didn't last for shit lol. So would be cool to see how those stack up!

[@Officer_Dan]

@@fabtown1457 Which Iron mans? I tested some of those in a previous video and they did pretty well! Im going to be testing the ATR sport 2 vs the sport 1 in my next video. If you ever wanna send me some tires to test, hit me up on IG officer_dan and lets make it happen!

[@fabtown1457]

Pretty sure the were the imove gen 2

you should try Ovation VI388

Added to the list!

[@johnnycarter6196]

How's Ovation compared to Sailun Attrezo or Accelera PHI as daily driving? Not for race track. Wanna get some good quality and long lasting from the budget range.

[@Officer_Dan]

@@johnnycarter6196 I don't usually get to drive on these on the streets, but maybe I can give it a try one of these times!

[@johnnycarter6196]

I've seen really good reviews about this ovation ones, better then my previous sailun that is stated as a mid range tyres. Ovation comes up for the budget tyres but with better reviews.

[@carlosbolanos5361]

I recently bought these tires (285-30-20) phi , why so many bad reviews?

[@Officer_Dan]

I think its a quality control thing. I had this set do ok, then the next set of them i used delamed 1st lap out and i hit a wall...
