Having recently bought a Mitsubishi Grandis Warrior 7 seater to ferry the family around and the assorted claptrap associated with grandkids, my review of these tires is posted from a non "Boy racer" point of view.
The Grandis has 18" low prof. Accelera phi on the front and Conti Sport2's on the rear.I've tested the fronts as vigorously as I dare on some local roads in the dry at around 60mph, and got excellent grip from the front tires. Slightly less impressive in the wet at 50mph round these bends, but still felt in control.
Obviously my style of driving is geared to keeping me and my family alive, so I don't go tearing around (hence the Grandis) with the family aboard.
The Conti's on the rear are due for renewal so at £85quid a chuck for the Accelera's fitted, they will definitely be going on the rear.
Somebody mentioned on one of the forums that these tires are "ditch finders". Couldn't be further from the truth.
I couldn't comment on the wear of the front tires as they look like they were fitted new just before I bought the car.
Only downside is they are a bit noisier than you would probably like on motorway driving, but hey!, they're an 85quid tire. Ditch finders??, do me a favour. Drive within your own and the tires limits and you will have no problems at all with them. Thank You.
