Not sure what all the fuss is about these tires - I've had them fitted by my dealer on an Alfa 159 previously and they were great so when needed new tires on my 320d I looked into the options and these were so much better value than RF tires I thought they'd be worth a try.
The tire pattern is very similar to the Bridgestone Rf's so they look great - much better than other budget brands.
Ive had them on 4000 miles now and no real issues - yes its a RWD car so if you boot it in the damp coming out of a roundabout it will light up the traction control but hey we all know what BMW are like on slippery surfaces so drive accordingly??
In the dry no issues at all - nice and quiet and more comfortable than RF's. Good levels of grip but again I'm not on a race track I'm driving to work and back and taxiing the kids around.
Braking I've not had any moments wet or dry.
Give them a try honestly great value - all four tires similar cost to one OE RF tire!!

Had accelera tires fitted to my Range Rover Vogue because it was all the tire depot had got in stock and at £100 fitted and balanced with new valves it was a good deal. They replaced Goodyear Wranglers and although not quite as good represent really good value and as the Goodyear tires were no longer produced I thought I would give these a try. Up to now I am very pleased

I recently bought a Civic Type R GT FN2 model with these fitted by the previous owner. While dry grip is satisfactory, wet grip is pretty bad. I say this coming from a Seat Ibiza Formula Sport fitted with Rainsport2s which were fantastic in wet conditions.

A Civic Type R is meant to be driven in a spirited manner but these tires do not inspire any confidence whatsoever to do so. Under harsh acceleration the front end feels directionless and even at medium speed in bends feels like it can give way at any second.

Given how these are the only things keeping you on the road, I would implore you not to buy these. I'm currently weighing up a set of OEM Bridgestones or some Rainsport3s just to get this rubbish off my car.

Follow on to my review from December 2013. I have now had these on the rear of the car for over 3,000 miles. I've driven a complete mix of weather conditions from torrential rain with standing water, very cold, wet, salty roads, dry sunny roads etc. The tires have given me no moments at all. Yes you can provoke the back end of the car by stabbing the throttle when applying some steering lock but all very predictable. I have driven the car in every mode of the traction control from fully on, M-Dynamic mode through to fully disengaged and the car does what you expect it to. I've come out of junctions in 1st and 2nd gear with a heavy right foot and the M-diff just hooks up and the car fires down the road. If the tires were as lethal as some of the scaremongers on here they wouldn't be able to sell them.
Reading comments like I lost control at 20mph or at 74mph on a motorway makes me wonder what kind of drivers are out there on our roads. If you can totally lose control of a car in those situations perhaps it's time to hand back your driving license?
As I previously stated when these wear out which seems like it's going to be ages as they show no signs of any wear yet, I will go for a premium brand to see the difference. I will report back in another couple of months now that the better weather is arriving.

I am "high-performance driver" no question I push the car to the limit when the opportunity presents itself. It often sees the red-line taking off whenever there are no cars in front of me. I enjoy seeing how hard it can be pushed through corners wet or dry.

For a BUDGET tire they are ok. But these are not performance tires. I had these on all four wheels when I bought the car (I actually negotiated a thousand dollars off the price because of these tires being on them). When the tires were new the wet grip was ok, as they got past 50% wear the wet grip practically disappeared - I mean practically zero grip in the wet. Dry grip was surprisingly ok for a budget tire all the way down to the min tread depth (but not at the level of "real" high performance tires). Noise was high though throughout the life of the tire. Tread life was good, not great - but these are NOT long life tires. They are "budget high performance" so for high performance tires the tread wear is ok.

I replaced these tires with Michelin Pilot Sport 3's - OMG what a difference - like night and day. The Michelin's had soooo much grip (WET and dry) it was exciting to drive the car again. Worth every cent - besides just the safety margin in the wet makes them certainly worth it.

If you are driving a cheap car, want to save money on tires and don't need wet grip for the life of the tire, then this could save you some dollars and be an ok tire. On all other counts do not consider these at all.

Just to reiterate about the PH1 or 2 and comments on here the tires are BUDGET
manufactured in Indonesia by the company that make Continentals under licence you will notice the familiar tread pattern between the two, but they are NOT CONTI,S you get what you pay for in this world and guy,s those with high performance cars you are only destroying your driving experience by fitting these,a set was fitted to my Jag STR by a previous owner since i changed to Yoko Advan 105,s the ride/handling is transformational , i would only use Accelera on cars where performance is not required or expected but been on a budget is the primary reason for fitting them. All in all a 1 star rating if fitted to high performance cars a five star rating on a budget /low performance car.

Read some bad reviews on these tires, but decided to try them. I bought two and fitted them to the rear of the car TT 3.2 quattro. they really didnt like being paired with the fronts which were uni-direction and had a V pattern. The car was jittery and would not track straight. Never seen anything like it
I was going to take them off but noticed one of the fronts had a bulge (this would not have caused the issues I had) and decided to put two more Accelera PHI on.
What a transformation - Car handled nicely, tracked fine
As for reviews of dangerous in wet weather - I think they are absolutely fine. I assume those who feel the car handled poorly had paired the tires with other makes.
I WILL buy these tires again but will NOT mix them with other brand
I have covered 7000 miles on them and the tires will easily do another 7000 - so total of 14000 miles and I do not hang about traversing the mountain roads where I live

I bought these for my cars as tire options are rather limited, and they were one of the few cheaper tires in my size and load rating. However I regretted having them fitted right from day one.
They are noisy, have poor grip especially in the wet where they are borderline dangerous. They have also worn very fast despite me having a proper 4 wheel alignment done when I had them fitted.
I am going back to Conti's next time, despite the fact that they are more expensive.
The Conti's gripped better, were quieter, made the car handle better and lasted longer.

Dont believe the negative reviews. Ive owned my a6 since new firstly running on its factory Continentals then Khumos and Avons .The Acceleras are as good as the others ive fitted , the only difference is they are much cheaper. Ive just fitted my 3rd set on the front. There are no issues with wet grip .The people who complain about them need to learn to drive properly and keep tires inflated to the correct pressure.

The guy/girl that has the E90 BMW M3, the clue is round a bend, not accelerating on a motorway slip road. The complete unpredictability of these tires is appalling. They just give way without warning, under no accelaration, or small amount of accelaration randomnly. Maybe your traction control helps you?

I fitted theses to see if I had any clearance problems as a temporary tire.

I have not found any problems with grip at all.
Bigest problem was balance, 150g each wheel and there still not right.

Bought an E90 BMW M3 which had a pair of these on the rear. I didn't even look at the brand of tires when I bought the car.
I drove the car back over 160 miles on damp and wet roads. Gave the car full throttle on several slip roads in 2nd gear right through to 8,400 rpm putting 414bhp down on the road with no issue. I'm not saying I'd personally opt for them if I was having new tires fitted but I've had no moments even driving fast on wet country roads. Anyone saying they are lethal in the wet needs to take a long hard look at their driving style. You clearly have no feel for a car or the limits of the tires.
I can get the tail out in a nice progressive, predictable slide coming out of wet junctions. When they wear out I'll probably go for a premium brand but that's nothing to do with the performance of these tires.
Give them a go if you're undecided. If a 4litre V8 can't break traction in the wet in a straight line under full throttle then most of you should be good.
