Accelera X-Grip Snow Winter 245/40R18 97V XL Passenger Tire

I just picked up a backup car and needed to get all the tires replaced on it. I live in Michigan where we can get a lot of snow, so I decided to get "cheap" snow tires I can just run all year. I saw these and just had to have them. The tread is excellent. In the short time I've had them, I've used them on the highway, in the rain, and in the snow, and they perform well in all situations. Our first snow had a lot of packed snow on the roads making them pretty icy, and these tires had no troubles on them. They are not as good as the high end snow tires, but much better than some I've had. These are great on dry pavement and in the rain, and really good in snow and on icy surfaces. They grip well or stopping, starting, and turning. If they do break loose, it's predictable and gentle. I also learned Accelera is a much more well known name in the UK than the US, so these are not the "no name" tires I thought they were. They just aren't common in the US. . . yet. As good as these are, I wouldn't be surprised if that changed though. Very happy with them and would definitely get them again.

These tires are way better than I expected for the price went through last winter with a $700 set of all seasons and these are way better in the snow for less than half of the cost. I 100 percent recommend these if you have a VW
