Grip has started to go with 452's on the rear of mine, 912's on front are better, but at 37k miles out of the front, not wear rate i have come to expect!  ;D

Think as mine are 16's and low power, that makes a difference to 17's and a V6.

I'd put them on again my 2.2, no doubt, but with 3.2 I opted for the as yet un-tested Nexen N6000s

No issues at 80mph in a straight line in the dry. Slowing down or changing direction is where the issues lie.  In the wet, any speed, just accept you are going to die.

I'd rather have a Michelin than that Autogrip. Hence needing access to your garage to get another wheel ;)

Yes, thanks.

Not fitted yet, so I class the Elite as off-the-road again.

If you need the Elite on-road, you could borrow the Nexens? As long as I get it back with most of the thread still on it  ::)
