They came as a package for the fabia Monte Carlo. They have been on the car for 18 months out of 24 Have done nearly 20 k miles winter and summer. Quieter, more economical, and more comfortable than the stock tires. As to performance in snow... What snow...
I agree with the previous reviewer. Even in those occasional moments when throwing throwing the car around they have been great.
Will buy again.

As per the other reviewer, there's not much info out there from people with these tires but based on other Accelera range of tires & comments on those I took the plunge & bought a full set of 245/40x18 for my BMW 523i Touring.

After the first few miles they really started to grip well. I have pushed the car quite hard on wet & dry roads & the amount of grip is superb. I could not make them break traction despite my cornering being far faster than was appropriate for the road condition (wet & cold).

They are just as good on warmer days on dry roads.

On my car there's no obvious road noise that would be higher than expected from any good summer tire.

It's too early to comment on tire wear but there's no noticeable wear after 2k miles.
I'll definitely buy them again & would recommend them very highly to anyone.
They cost approx £50 each which makes them a bit of a bargain!

Was worried about these as there aren't many reviews about. £60 a tire which is great for 18's. Have done 7000 miles on them and they are great! Good grip, good wear. They are a bit noisey but for the price I can live with that. Will buy again.
