Accelera Iota ST68

Like what others have said these tyres cause some odd vibrations at 60+ I’ve even had them road force balanced which helped a bit but due to the high road force you can still feel it.

Would not recommend them.

Surprised at the quality of these cheap tires. Bought other cheap tires for other cars and generally you get what you pay for but these are good but they don't last long

As others have stated, vibrate at about 65 - 70 mph. Had them balanced twice but can't stop the vibration.

I fitted a set of four these on My BMW X6 30d
22 inch Wheels
Although I've given them all 10 star ratings the most important thing I've got to say is they work just fine. I don't race my car around a track where I live there's quite a bit of traffic which I generally just go with the flow. If it's raining heavily I adjust my driving accordingly again I'm not racing about. Very initially I thought the ride was a tiny bit harder but I just let a little bit of air out of each one and I can't honestly say they feel any different from the original continentals
Here is the rub.
Accelera Iota ST 68 £470 a set of four
Premium brands all around £1400 for a set of four.
Can't comment on longevity at the moment but I could have three sets of these for a set of premiums!

Very good silent and comfortable tires with pretty good grip on the first 5.000-8.000km. Started becoming very noisy after 10.000km and almost completely bald at 20.000km. Not recommended to use for heavy rain, these tires have a hobby of aquaplaning, braking distance also increase by quite a lot when using these tires. Probably one of the cheapest tires I can get for the size (second to the GT Champiros which are way worse with the body roll, no grip and very loud). Considering the price and wear of the tire, seems quite expensive, changed to the Goodyear Assurance Max SUVs which are much better in almost every aspect except the comfort level of the Iota is still unbeatable at its' price point. The goodyears are 12% more pricey but lasted more than 50.000kms turning out to be cheaper, and doesn't get louder with more wear.

Quiet and comfort at slow speed, but vibrates like hell when cruising at 60 mph. Ride feels plush and quiet on my Lexus RX350. For this price, I can't complain.

We bought a Ford Edge in 2020 and it had a brand new pair of these fitted on the front. I’d never heard of the brand and I was a bit sceptical.
But 3 1/2 years later we have covered 21,000 miles and the edges are just going off, I think they have worn very well on the front of a 2.2 ton car and a good 8k of the miles had been towing a large caravan.
They have performed well in all weathers and the car has been driven quite ‘spiritedly’ at times.
I have just ordered a new set of 4, so if I can get another 3/4 years and 20+ thousand miles out of them I will be very happy.

I have had these tyres on my car for 3 years,covering almost 18,000 miles. The rears are practically still new the fronts have about 3 mm left on them.
Living and driving in central Scotland we have a lot of rain, and these tyres have never let me down in some challenging conditions including snow.
Just starting to feel the front not as grippy as they have been. I will be looking to replace them within the next 1000/2000 miles,i can honestly say these tyres haven't let me down in Dry and Wet.

Bought a Land Cruiser with a brand new set of these fitted at low speeds all is fine but get above 50mph and it’s a different vehicle. I have been into the garage three times to have them rebalanced as the vibration is horrendous. The conclusion is that the tyres are ‘out of round’ therefore faulty and will need changing. Getting vibration through the seat and the steering. After reading some of the reviews about these tyres on here and the conflict of opinions between them and mine I can only assume I got mine from a faulty batch. I would not recommend them for premium vehicles. Buy cheap buy twice! And now the garage will have to replace them.

Bought an Audi A8 with these on, tyres were brand new and totally ruined the car, hard ride, felt everything though suspension, howled at 50mph or above but worst of all could not get them to balance despite two attempts, vibration was terrible. Replaced them with Goodyear asymmetric 3 and completely transformed the car.

Good road holding in the dry, much better than the scary pirelli scorpion in the wet condition, doesn’t aqua planned as much as the pirelli scorpion that came with the car. Have only driven for 10,000km so let’s see how long it would last, i’d be happy if it last 40,000km but the compound seems way softer compare to the scary pirelli scorpion.

The Accelera IOTA ST-68 replace my original ones from factory Continental ContiSportContact 5 lasted 25000 miles & 3 and half years, good tyre but a bit noisy and £40 a corner more expensive. I only done 1000 miles and so far, makes the car drive smother and quieter rated A-68db C+C 103 V XL. I will come back later after I done a bit more mileage, these Accelera IOTA ST-68 have a new pattern. I already driven in heavy rain and their stud very well I was impressed, so far 4 stars

Positively surprised by the overall performance of these Tyres. Budget priced but quiet and cannot fault the grip in the dry and especially in the wet which is where I thought they would be susceptible. Fitted to a Range Rover they have now done over 20,000 miles and still have a good few thousand miles left in them. I had just bought the Car and after considerable expense in the initial Car purchase put these Tyres on with the intention of upgrading them to a set of the well known brands later on when finances permitted. I honestly can't fault them and shocked at how well they are performing to the extent that I will be replacing them with the same when they eventually wear out. I drive around 25K miles a year and have done for over 40 years and these tyres are as good as any I have experienced in fact even better than some of the more popular German, Italian and French brands which are literally double the price and then some. In the past I have bought some budget tyres and instantly regretted it realising it was a false economy but these Accelera ST's have totally surpassed my expectations.

In October 2019 I needed to change all 4 tyres on my Audi Q5. I took into consideration that I was going to be driving on a long holiday to Italy in June 2020, so I did some research and tried to get the best set of low cost tyres to last me until June when I would change to more premium ones. Well Covid 19, appeared my holiday was cancelled and it’s now January 2022, some 2 years and 4 months later. I never did buy those premium tyres. I still have some tread on all the Accelera Iota st68 tyres but because an idiot driving at speed two months ago forced me to hit a kerb at about 25mph I badly damaged the edge of one tyre and two have inner wear. I only noticed when I recently washed my car. I have decided to change all 4 and guess what I’ve bought another set of Accelera Iota ST68. 4 tyres plus fitting and disposal of the old ones has cost me £441 that’s £110 pound a corner. I’ve done over 20000 miles on the old ones so I cannot complain and I have no complaints.
