Zestino has had a passion for drifting since its beginnings, which has resulted in the creation of the Acrova 07A drift tyre.
This tyre incorporates the same tread pattern design as the Gredge series tyre, but with an additional 3mm of tread depth to enhance its durability during drifting. The underlying idea is straightforward: more rubber equals more fun!
The Acrova 07A tyre provides exceptional traction during acceleration and enables a seamless transition while drifting. It’s no wonder that the Acrova 07A has become the most sought-after drift tyre in the United Kingdom.
Drift Pro Championship
In 2022, 23 out of 25 DRIFTPRO championship podiums were made up by drivers using the Acrova 07A tyre and for the 2023 season, we are pleased to announce a partnership with the series which will see the Zestino Acrova 07A become the control tyre used by all competitors.
We are also delighted to partner with Driftleague GB to become the official tyre partner of the series.
What makes a good drift tyre?
Whilst non-drifters might think that a good drift tyre should have low levels of grip in order to make drifting easier, the reality is that for competition drifting the opposite is actually true. Drivers want to feel the acceleration and continuously pickup speed whilst drifting in order to drive away from their opponents so grip is very important.
Here are the top 5 most important qualities of a good drift tyre:
- Traction: One of the most important factors people consider when purchasing drift tires is the level of traction they offer. Drift tires should have the right balance of grip and slip to allow for controlled drifting.
- Durability: Drifting can put a lot of strain on tires, so durability is another crucial factor. Buyers want tires that can withstand the stresses of drifting without wearing out too quickly.
- Size and Fitment: It's important to choose tires that are the correct size and fit for the specific vehicle and wheel set up. Proper size and fitment will ensure the tires perform at their best.
- Compound: The compound of the tire refers to the type of rubber used in the tire construction. Different tire compounds have varying levels of grip and slip, and some are better suited for certain types of driving conditions. Drifters often prefer a softer compound that provides good traction but still allows for slip.
- Price: The cost of drift tires is an important factor for many buyers. While high-end tires may offer superior performance, they may not be within everyone's budget. Therefore, drivers need to consider the performance level offered by the tyre vs the cost per lap (the cheaper tyre might not be the cheapest per lap)
