Accelera X Grip 4S tyres purchased from new. Recently replaced after 25k miles and fronts still had 4mm and rears 6mm, which was surprising. Tyres were starting to crack on tread and were nearly three years old. I paid £300 for the set on line then got them fitted locally. They balanced up pretty well and didn’t need too much weight and don’t lose their shape at all. Dry handling was fine as was braking. However they screeched going round and corner or roundabout- not at speed! It was embarrassing because people would stop and stare thinking you were speeding. Wet handling they were scary with the whole car would slide sideway or under acceleration lose grip. It was the wet handling performance that made me want to replace them for Michelin Cross Climates. Snow handling (when we had it) was amazing and ok in slush and ice. This was the only time the car felt truly safer than average. I accept they were cheap and affordable all season tyres were not widely available in my size. All I can say is don’t put a price on the safety of your vehicles occupants, buy the best you can afford and avoid these, if you can.
