I put Pilot Sport 4 in 235/40R18 on my Caprice, it used to break them loose on the 1-2 shift with the cheap COVID-19 specials the car had on it when I bought it.
With the Pilot Sport 4 it wouldn't even break em loose if you had a good crack, but car was only making about 150KW/rears.
They were also quiet as well - I'd buy again but I've put smaller wheels on the car.
I'm impressed with them, I've got them on my Focus daily now as well.
The bald ones lasted 14,000km, I wonder which axle they were on
Keep in mind I beat on the car all the time so tyre longevity on my cars will be different to someone who drives like a sane person.
