I fitted 4 of these tyres to my HSV Clubsport 5.0 litre manual which I drive extremely hard. This car is lowered 30mm below standard height and wheel aligned to hsv specs.The car wears tyres to an even showing of wearbars. I first fitted toyos to the car which lasted only 10,000km front and rear. I then changed to acceleras and found them to be an excellent tyre in the dry but too slippery in the dry. I had made the mistake of running them far too low pressure(35psi)giving me much less NVH and better dry grip. This just tore the inner and outer edges off the tyres in 10,000 km leaving me with full tread depth in the centres. Now I have fitted my second set. I now run 44psi and this has drasticaly changed things for the better. Now the wear patterns are very good, edges are staying intact and the grip in the wet is superb. NVH is increased but its a Clubsport,its not supposed to be too comfortable. I love these tyres and $A540.00 per set fitted and balanced is amazing. I drive this car to the max and these tyres perform as good as the expensive Potenza S02s that i previously had on it. I am expecting 20,000km on this set which I will be very satisfied with.
