I had always had Pirelli or Conti tires fitted but as the car is AWD they lasted at best 12000 miles and were costing around 10p per mile so I needed a cheaper option. When first fitted these tires felt very skittish but once the bloom had been scrubbed off they performed well. I have had no problems in wet or dry. Ride is rather harsh and noisy but some of this is down to the car rather than the tire. I have done 10,000 miles with them and reckon I will another 8000 before I need to think about replacing. As a budget offering they dont perform as well as Contis but I think they are good value for money and probably will buy another set when the time comes.

Usually a Michelin Pilot user but Accelera's came with car, a little under steer/torque steer in very wet conditions but still impressed enough I have just purchased 2 new sets 235/40/18's. Not a branded tire for sure but for budget money the best compromise if you cannot justify the cost of branded...

I have these on my rear wheels of my family car (Ford S Max), as our local tire shop did not have the Michelins we normally drive in stock. I was reluctant at first but I think they are absolutely fine. Have driven these in town and on the mway - also on wet and dry. Slightly noisier but not badly so

Boarderline dangerous

Was a bit reluctant to try as had original Pirelli P Zero far too expensive and not exactly best gripping also fitted Falken FK452 great Tire appalling wear on inner shoulders even after tracking etc fully tested. So gave these a try and have to say inb all aspects and driving conditions I don't think can be beaten for money obviously not a BRAND name but having tried a brand leader and then the Falkens i belive this can be highly recomended

I bought my Mazda 6 Sport 185 with an almost new set of these on them, about 8mm according to the MOT.
I am not a fan of budget tires but I have bought another 2 today in preparation for swapping the my winters wheels off. Why?
1/ Cost - They worked out £73 fitted per corner for a 225/45/18Y 95.
2/ After 9000 miles of mainly A road and motorway driving, occasionally though very spirited, the rears have over 6mm left and the fronts over 4mm. My tracking was slightly out on the NS front and the outside edgewas worn quite alot more, so I elected to change the fronts.
3/ I don't need to run them in Winter so harsh weather performance is not a consideration. In wet weather, they don't inspire so much confidence in cornering but brake well and grip well if you need a speedy exit from a junction.

I am use to running premium tires (Continental Sport Contact 3/ Goodyear F1 Asyms) and these are over half the price of either but 80% as good and based on wear rate, last 50% longer.

I had these fitted on four wheels for my Mazda3 MPS. First time I ever have under steer on a motorway bend... Fair enough the road was damp but it shouldn't drift off at 55-60 mph. Also, because of the low profile tire(45)and the material was very firm. The car suffered horrendous road noise. I changed to Toyo Proxies and now I feel safe on the road. Anyone wanna buy my Accelera?

Put these on the rear of the car and they are borderline dangerous. Excessive understeer. It feels like the back of the car has a mind of its own. It only gets worse in the wet. I'll be taking them off and putting Michelins back on. You get what you pay for.

Was very unhappy with wear rate of my previous pair of rear tires (conti sport contact 3) was persuaded to buy these by a colleague in the trade and I am very pleased. They seem a bit noisier at higher speed, but I can tolerate that, but grip in both wet and dry seem good. Not too sure about the reviews that slate the tire for being appalling, hand on heart they're great and only £85 pounds per side. Soooooooo much better than the run_flat bridgestone's that were on the car when i bought it, now they ARE APPALLING!!!!!!!

I had dunlop spo1 on before these and I wanted the same grip and ride quality
put these on and I was very surprised, very grippy wet and dry no aqua planing at all and I drive aggressively also as quiet very pleased will buy again

This is the first time I have ever bought tires in 10 years of driving (I frequently change car), I spent a long time finding a budgest brand with good enough reviews for cars similar to mine (2011 Smax TitaniumX Sport 163TDCI). I had a puncture and paid £233 early in 2011 for one tire and didn't want to get ripped off again, I bought these after searching google (£78 per tire delivered) and after a few thousand miles I can report they are excellent and well worth the money. I would say grip in the dry/wet is about 90% of what the original one's were but that is when I push the car hard. For normal driving you'll never notice the difference.

We do lots of motorway miles and found noise to be about the same, all in all I reccommend these to anyone. Had to get XL (extra load) as it's an MPV.

Replaced 2 very expensive Pirellis for about a 1/3 of the price on the rear axle of our 330CD M Sport because the Accelera Alphas fitted to our Freelander have been great.

Took the car out in wet weather just like the guy below immediately after fitting because of some of the more sensational comments left here. The car drove normally - plenty of feedback, excellent mechanical grip (even in the wet!) and the vehicle stops and turns without ABS intervention as usual. I hadn't expected these tires to last ages because our car has heaps of torque and eats its rear tires every 12k or 14 months even if you spend £200+. These tires have done 2500 miles in 3 months and the wear is comparable and even.

I would definitely buy these tires again.
