Citroën
(225/45 R17) on
mostly country roads
for 22,000
average miles
I have just come to the end of my second set of these tires. I find them comfortable, the handling is good, they grip well but not quite as good as the Michelin Sport my car came fitted with. Especially in the wet the Accelera tires can't match the Michelin. But the Accelera are 47 quid a tire against 229 for the Michelin! On top of that I get 22000 miles out of the front tires compared to only 12000 for the Michelin. On the rear the figures are 30000 compared to 16000!! So a tire that last twice as long and is 4 times cheaper can not be argued with! I drive a Citroen DS4 2.0 HDI 160 and have found these tires very good. I have never been in a dangerous situation as other reviews have made out. Yes they can spin a bit if I put my foot down but that is down to the torque my engine produces, not because the tires are not grippy. I drive B and A roads mainly and do 22000 miles a year. My driving style is average and stick to the national speed limits. I would highly recommend these tires if you're looking for a good looking, comfortable, cheap tire that lasts well! If you're a speed devil then these tires are probably not for you!!!
