Actually PT Elangperdana Tire Industry, as a manufacturer of Accelerate tires, is targeting the endurance racing segment which is starting to recover in Indonesia.

However, the Accelera 651 Sport Drag tires are only available in size 255/50 R18, suitable for Fortuner and also Innova. Drag race is a racing event on a straight track where whoever crosses the finish line will be the winner.

For this reason, the role of the tires in this competitive event is very important, because they convey the engine power generated and transmitted to the rotation of the tire without losing traction.

According to Koko Jatmiko, R&D Manager of PT Elangperdana Tire Industry, if the tires as a means of connecting to the road do not have good traction capabilities, then the power generated by the engine will be wasted, because the slip caused by the tires cannot transfer the power directly. of the engine to the rotation of the tyre.
