Bought a car with that had 4 brand new accelera tyres fitted on refurbished wheels. As it was october I thought I would keep them as winter wheels. I was sceptical how useful they would be with 400bhp rwd. However they have been fine. a little noisier but not much. Even with tcs off you need a lot of lock and power to get them to slip. Thats the only condition when i have got them to spin. Spirited cornering they hold a good line between a succession of bends. They have never aquaplaned under braking. This is the first time using non premium rubber and my experience suggests that other manufacturers are catching up. I may very well replace them eventually like for like. 2 285/35/18 and 2 245/35/18 cost less than 2 195/50/15 thirty years ago!

These tires performed with a pleasant surprise, I don't know how but they are much better and cheaper than Dunlop Max, which I replaced them with. So much grip that I can't perform a deliberate wheel spin (just for fun sometimes)

A fair bit of road noise, but dry grip excellent. Wet grip ok, nothing to write home about.
Ride is firm, but generally drive with the suspension in sport modes anyway, so no real complaints. Ride is ok when in comfort mode with Airmatic suspension, so again, no real complaints.
School is out on the wear front, not had them on the car for long enough yet, time will tell.
£1300 a set is a bit hard to swallow, so will be looking at the wear levels with interest.

I ditched Continentals for the P-zeros (MBO)after delamination.
I regularly drive at above 140mph and cannot afford anything but best safety.
