Accelera PHI R review

“I finally found a matching set of the original size Spyder tires at CARID.com . 185/55R 15 front and 215/45R 16 rear. They are Accelera PHI-R tires. The only difference from the original Bridgestone Potenzas is that they are Z speed rated. They are pretty reasonable and ship for free.”

“Accelera tires review Hi everyone! Figured I’d add some 2cents about my experience with a few different Accelera tires. I first ran a square set of 400tw UHP Accelera PHI-R which I bought new for 300 from tirestreets. These are very good tires for street use, comfortable, quiet, and are 100% fine for even some spirited driving. Did 2 autocross events on this set and they held up great aswell. Great burners/ daily drivers I’m now running 351 sport GD which are a 300tw summer tire, I paid less than 400 for the set. They’re surprisingly quiet and comfortable for daily use and have a great amount of usable grip for hard backroad driving. Their strong point is the grip doesn’t fall off, I can run up and down the mountain multiple times and still have confident grip. Sidewall is another highlight, very stiff good steering response. Haven’t seen much info about accelera tires online hope this helps people in search of some good budget tires to have fun with! Read more”

My car has 'Accelera PHI-R' tires which are right up there with Walmart's best. Previous owner must have paid nearly $400 for the whole set lol”

“I'm planning on replacing the rear tyres for Accelera phi-r, these were on the car when I brought it, I had no issues at that time, And yes the front Tyres had them balanced and the wheels aligned, I will get these checked again.”

“Got to agree on the Accelera phi-r tires guys, my mechanic friend recommended them a few years ago so I bought a set for my RX7 when I got my new rims. I and I absolutely loved the ride so much that I bought a set of Accelera phi-r tires for my 2000 Acura RL and ****-canned the set of Goodyear tire I was running (and you can't beat the price either.)”

“After rolling on the wheel/tire and all settled in. Gotta tell you how these tires are so quiet. I had to them rebalanced. I still have one rear wheel not fully dialed in but close enough to not be a problem. The issue has really come down to, too much wheel not enough tire in the rear. The 215/45 16 Accelera tire sits on the 7.5 inch wheel as more of a stretched tire look and that is not the look for my eye. So since 225/45 16 is all I could do in Accelera PHI-R line, and I don't think that size in this tire will sit much wider. I will live with it and keep my eye open for two more 6 inch wheels to put in the rear with the 215/45 tires . It would be a better look for my eye and the offset of the 6 inch wheel keeps the outer edge of the tire in the same place related to the fender. Great tire set just too much wheel not enough tire out back. Funny how that 215/45 16 Yokohama S-Drive sat across that whole wheel.”
