I post a no vote for the accellara. Wet grip was lacking. Threw them away with pleasure.
Autogrips are genuinely lethal in the wet. Rapid loss of grip, span twice, swore, threw away.

Current Sport contact three replacements are quite nice, worth the money for the confidence they inspire. wear minimal after 5k miles so far. Goodyears are nice but I wore the fronts out in 10k. Kuhmho ku13 or 19's were an impressive middle ground. Current crop of pirellis seem to buzz on poor road surfaces.
