Overall, not a bad tyre for such price. Up to now I used winter Yokohamas and I can say that these one are incomparable with Yokohamas. Nevertheless, considering the price of the tyre, it is worth recommending. The only drawback is the noise level. Especially when cornering. It hums quite loudly. Apart from that, it's OK. There was no problem with balancing. I drive a 2000 A-Class, 1.9 petrol. The tyre does great up to 50-55 MPH. Above this speed is the noise becomes audible.

Bought these to get me by on primera after buying the car at auction . Had them on 8000 miles up to now and stil loads of tread . Only flaw with the tyre is in the wet . I believe it's because of the weight and size of my car as i have put the same tyres on a different car we have and there fine

Okay small toy car as a center and if you go plan. If you drive like collin not going well. They consume and do not take up to much in the wet. But they are very beautiful.

I don't know, how can you write that it's a quiet tyre! I can't hear my own thoughts when driving! Apart from that they're OK, but it makes me reluctant to driving when I think about the noise level!

A total disaster, even before fitting. Balancing of these tyres was a nightmare, 250 g per wheel is a tragedy... rotating the tyre on the wheel, changing wheels, etc... but it worked. After one season I fitted them to the car and there was wheel spinning, vibrating steering wheel.... On wet it's a tragedy - I don't recommend to drive over the lines and stripes painted on the road because you can be pretty surprised. Generally I don't recommend it - it's just wasted money, I decided to dispose of them and buy something twice as expensive, but good. My car is a BMW E39 530D 220HP with a chip.

Average summer tyres. The price is not bad, but they are extremely loud (much louder than winter Continental TS830s!). Their grip is average, even during light braking ABS can switch on. Driving on water is OK, but in this case I prefer not to push it too much. The biggest drawback: Tyres with DOT 2007 have a lot more tread than TWI level (not much used), but the rubber slowly starts to crack in several places (and it is not the fault of the damage - it's age). Overall, despite the fact that there's still some tread - I have to buy new tyres and this time I'll definitely buy different ones than Accelera ALPHA
