Running these Paul and I can`t fault them
http://www.allnewtyres.co.uk/tyre-details.asp?id=20&Accelera ALPHA X/LOAD 225 55 16 / 2255516 99W  New Car Tyres

Currently have a pair of these in 18" on the front of mine, with my preferred choice on the rear. They've stood up alright, but aren't quite as resistant to shoulder wear from higher cornering speeds as the squarer shouldered Runways

Is it safe to come out yet

 

[PAULCDX]

Cool, 

Gives me some food for thought for when I need to change mine 

Choices, choices   

[PAULCDX]

Is it safe to come out yet

 

No not yet, I'll let you know when   

[PAULCDX]

I think it's safe now

Nice one Chris   

Unfortunately some of those are no longer available. As that thread suggests, assuming the newer model of a discontinued one is going to be better is dangerous. Sadly.

Personally I am currently working on the "Mercedes approved" theory. Pic a Mercedes model of the same size weight and rear drive as the omega, with the same wheel size, and pic the Mercedes approved tyre for that model.

Mercedes seem to be the only manufacturer (afaict) that go out of their way to test tyres that are NOT original equipment. In other words, Merc owners can wonder out in to the tyre market mine field and purchase an after market tyre of varying price and performance level, that they KNOW is going to work on their car and wheel option. Provided it has an MO (Mercedes Only) stamp. Mo work on other models as well though.

Its something that does endear me to Mercedes tbh.


...that's the theory so far anyway.

I'd add Sport Maxx RT to that list, not quite as stable as the TT version, but pretty good. Grip level is astonishing (for a road tyre), but that shows in wear...

Just been looking at them actually Jamie,

Just bought two new 225/55/ZR16 97W Runway Enduros 916+ for the front of the Estate - to match the 3 month old ones on the back - £65 each all incl (VAT incl).  Always had good performance from these on previous Elites, and also from Accelera Alphas same size.
