Absolutely LETHAL!
Do not fit these to any car that you care about.
Do not fit them to any vehicle of any sort, unless you want the driver to die.
Do not even bother to stock them if you are a dealer.
These are truly one of the worst tires I have ever had the misfortune to be forced to drive on.
Fitted to the car before we purchased it, previous owner thought they were being clever by fitting Grim Reaper rubber on the cheap to the back axle. Dont. Just dont!
These are bad in the dry.
They are UNBELIEVABLY TERRIBLE in the wet! Almost no notification before it breaks traction, very little feedback to the driver, noisy, poor ride comfort/quality. No redeeming features apart from the fact they are black and hold air.
I am used to high powered cars and these were on a puny 180bhp X3 that we got for my other half as a family wagon for our little-un. After one drive in the wet, I parked the car and refused to give my other half the keys until we'd booked the car in for a replacement pair of tires.
We fitted Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 as a replacement and even when TRYING to upset the handling, the Hankooks refuse to let-go. The worst that I can force the Hankooks into, is a gentle and progressive slide.. and thats when I'm TRYING to be an idiot with them!
Honestly, these Acceleras are about £90 each for 275/40/19..... for £150 you can get a truly fantastic tire. Your life depends on tires and brakes. Dont cheap-out on either of them! You deserve better than this tire.
I will not even be selling these tires on - I will be puting a disc-cutter through the entire tire and it will become scrap. These tires are dangerous and should not be permitted to be sold in the UK. Genuinely as bad as a Wanli or a LingLong or a HappyGallop or Landsail tire.... and that's a big insult!
