Have acquired a 2011 Renault Espace with the Prestivo PV-S1's on the front. Have done 2K miles since then & found mixed results. Don't know how old they are but feel they are degrading somewhat quick. Better suited to a smaller, lighter vehicle than two ton Tessie from Teddington! Good grip in wet or dry but feel every bump in the road. Believe they may be Yokohama's. Plenty of central tread depth left but outer 'shoulder' seems to be wearing down more quickly. Also my NSF has a tendency to go soft on me over 3 days. Will look into that tomorrow. ?Slow puncture, faulty bead/valve, old age, don't know. It's not a bad tire, maybe not the best for a 2 ton Espace. Can't take a chance with tires if carrying 7 people.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Renault Espace MKIV DCI drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
An excellent tire, especially for the price. I bought my first set based on a review in a motoring journal, which compared it with a number of others, and I also found that they felt just the same and performed just as well as most big-name brands. I was then palmed off with another budget tire (Rockstone) which my garage assured me were just as good. At first they seemed ok, but first time in the wet they were positively scary! This makes you question the published ratings, since for 'wet grip' the Accelera is only rated 'E' while the Rockstone is rated 'C'. This is utter nonsense! So I am back with the Accelera Alpha, and they feel so much better, I won't fit any other tire as long as they are available.
I don't really need to say much about these tires except this: with them fitted you will be able to leave all other cars, including 4x4's, driving on summer tires (which is most of them), in your wake on snow and ice. I will never drive again from Nov. until March without these on my front axle. (Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons on rear). Extremely impressive and no, I do not work for Vredestein. They might offer me something if they read this though!
The car has been mainly used for work carrying myself, at least one crew member, sometimes three plus our equipment averaging 50kg. This is my fourth espace and is the first one that I feel confident will stop ok in the wet! ( due to the larger wheels/tires? ). All the espace models have been fitted with michelin extra load tires but this is the best so far. I'm on the third set at 95,000 miles with about 10,000 left. My only gripe is the cost of these tires.
Very safe tires on snow, wet and dry. Low noise level. I'll bye it again.
OK in the dry, not so good in the wet. Better than expected on snow (and ice). Fitted to the car when I bought it. Felt twitchy at first but I got used to the flex in the sidewalls. Once settled into the turn, grip is actually quite good in the dry (bearing in mind I'm talking about an Espace 4!).
Nice Looking tire no doubt about that but the wear is awful. Tracking / Suspension has been checked and all is ok. The tires on the front have only lasted 9k which I was very dissappointed about. Shoulder wear is a big problem on these tires on heavy cars in my oppinion. I dont wear `lead` boots as its a MPV so no racing car.
Would not buy these tires again !
