Accelera PHI Reviews - Page 4

These are the tires on the courtesy wheels put on my 2001 M3 whilst my own wheels are refurbed. They are fine in the dry, but in the wet they are lethal. Even in the damp. They have absolutely no business on a powerful car, or a car that you want to go round a corner on wet roads without taking a chunk out of the nearest kerb or ditch. In the wet an oiltanker has a shorter stopping distance. These are grade A ditchfinders and they are quite simply dangerous.

I drive a 2017 Suzuki Swift RS (ZC13S) My driving style is a mix of decent and aggressive. Roads here (Sri Lanka) are bad. just bad. I had to replace 2 tires as my front OEM Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 got damaged sidewalls (my fault, drove with low air pressure). The Accelera PHI-R were the only tires available at that time in the nearest tire shop.
Dry grip is decent and ride is definitely softer than Ecopias. In average speeds they perform well but tend to squeal under hard cornering and feedback is low. Turn-in is not very sharp and under-steers if pushed too hard. Wet grip is decent but I would not recommend driving hard in the rain. Cannot predict when they would give out. Tire noise is less than the ecopias as well.
They seem to be durable as after 15,000KM the thread depth maybe 50% remaining. But would not buy again. Good for people looking for a budget tire to drive decently. Do not buy If you drive hard.

I switched to Accelera PHi from Hankook Vensus purely on budget, prior to that i had the Bridgestone Potenza R003 in 18 inch tire. The Accelera performed reasonable, considering I do 800km per week. it is definitly a hard compound tire and the noise is pronounced at 110km/ph on both concrete and bituman roads. all up 30,000km got out of them, that is 5-10k kilometers better than Bridgestone and Hankook.

F10 light on the back for 275 width standard rubber, shows up poor tires very quickly in the cold and wet pulling away at junctions
Bought as an emergency expected to have Sport Maxx repaired (non runflat) but poor batch from Mytires splitting and age cracking so had to fit the Accellera. Expected to find the nearest ditch, spent the first few days driving very carefully, but after careful testing I can confirm this tire to be surprisingly OK, similar is not slightly better grip than the SportMaxx, not as good as Hankook evo2,but better than the Conti (5?) runflats it came with from the factory.

Don't even turn the key if it's wet.

Shocking tires in the wet - buy something else if there is any chance of rain anywhere near where you are going. Volvo's are pretty sure footed, but my V70 just understeers across the road when it is wet at 20 mph. Really, these are dangerous :-(

Tires worn out after 8 - 8.5k miles. Terrible wet grip. Occasionally car would start to skid on large roundabouts at low/moderate speeds. Cheap but would definitely pay more next time for something better

These tires are terrible in the wet. The worst tire I have ever had. Had other budget brands in the past but others in my experience are far superior (120,000 miles of same car ownership).

Ok, 1st ok all I am based in Egypt. I have a W204 C300 Merc AMG Edition 1. Heavy car with 235hp RWD staggered setting and adaptive sport suspension. 225/45R17 Front & 255/40R17 Rear. These tires were newly fitted to my car when I bought it second hand with 30K miles on the clock. Handled accaptably on decent driving. But wore pretty quick we complete deformation on the rear pair with some kickdowns and speeding. I do a lot of long travels along well paved roads. Like 3 hours at 110-120 MPH. Caused awful wandering due to side wall deformation and the steel lining broke completely and caused lateral pull that took a lot of time by the dealer to discover it was actually the tires causing it. Will never fit them again. Never.

These tires were as good regarding dry grip as tires twice the cost and I drive hard . Wet grip is also equally good , you'd have to be an idiot to lose the car in the wet . I cannot understand anyone calling them dangerous . Handling in dry and wet is as good as the setup of your car ie. correct tire pressures , camber , castor and toe . No different in my case to the AVONS just taken off which were twice the cost . Comfort is about suspension so cannot comment really , just a tad stiff as am running uprated springs and shocks . The feedback is excellent and I will buy again .

I have been driving with those for over 2k miles and I have nothing really bad to say about them. I am very rarely taking the car to extremities so I can't really say if tires are grippy or not. I have not felt loss of traction in my daily driving. Of course, tires do slip on hard acceleration, but that I consider normal given the 610nm kicking the rear wheels. Tires provide average feedback from the road, but that is not a problem for the non-spirited driver like me. Wear is pretty good for, compound is really soft with hard walls (XL rated). They do feel on the noisy side at times, but that is acceptable given their price.

Would totally purchase them again. Best bank for the buck definitely.

Recently purchase a Volvo C30 D3 2012 R-Design and these tires were already fitted.
I have being driving on them just over one month and I have just ordered up a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 to replace them.I have little faith in these tires and do wonder why some people fit such a poor tire on a reasonably powerful car.In the dry they are just about passable,it's a complete lack of feedback from the tire and the noise given off by them is terrible on certain road surfaces as for wet grip it's very poor and traction brakes very easily with little feedback.
I suggest you give these a wide berth next time some tire outlet suggests them and try and purchase some a tad better.
