I recently purchased four Accelera Phi R 205/40 R17 tires for my 2012 Mini Cooper S, and have driven on them now for about 2,000 miles. I decided to make the switch from the expensive, original run-flat OEM tires and thought I would experiment with a non-run-flat, off-brand, budget tire. The total cost for the four tires with professional installation, road hazard warranty, and an alignment was less than $425 US. This is a bargain compared to run-flat or even non-run flat brand name tires. I also purchased a spare tire that I obtained from a Mini Cooper non-S from a local junkyard at about the same time for less than $20 since the Mini Cooper S does not come with a spare tire, and the non-S does. The first thing I noticed is that the ride is quieter and less harsh. I do have a sport package trim so a harsh ride is unavoidable. I am used to this since my last vehicle was an E90 BMW with a sport package, and the ride is similar. I will trade a smooth ride for a better handling vehicle in this scenario. They handle great on dry terrain and surprised me in the first rainstorm. I do not understand how people are claiming they have no traction in the rain. I experienced no hydroplaning issues accelerating and stopping quickly on them was no problem. Perhaps when I put more miles on them they will lose their wet grip. I cannot recommend if I would buy these again in the future since I have not had them for very long, but so far so good.

These tyres came fitted to the car and are brand new. would never buy budget tyres out of choice as had a bad experience with an old mx5 fitted with autogrip tyres. Was thinking i would have to get them changed asap but so far they have surprised me and performed well . In the dry they grip well with plenty of feedback and no issues . They are quite noisy tyres but not uncomfortable. Surprised by their ability in the wet thought they would be scrabbling for grip and understeering but no They seem well planted and so far not had any scary experiences either in heavy rain or when the roads are greasy. Weirdly they are marked as all season tyres - Not sure if they will be staying on as if the car handles this well with budget tyres i imagine it would be even better with premium rubber fitted but for the price they seem a bargin.

These tyres cane on my car when I purchased it and worked fine in the dry nothing special but on wet roads they have little to no traction and would slip out very easily

An ok tyre for road feedback, its happy to munch up the miles and gives me a good drive in dry conditions. Now any orher conditions other than hot and very dry roads these tyres are simply awful. Ive covered a few thousend miles and have had enough of the very dangerous feelings when in wet or cold conditions. Ive seen shoping trollies doing less understeer than these tyres fitted to my smax 2.0 tdci. I wont ever purchess again (accelera are ditch finders) overall rating an honest 5/10.

I can't figure out why some other reviewers have such problems with these tyres, after 5 years on them ( 2 pairs of fronts) I have had absolutely no scary moments at all. Dry or wet. Even deep water on the motorway has never caused aquaplaning. This could of course be helped by the fact it is a 2.1 ton car, so plenty of weight on them!! And yes that's right I don't drive it like I did our Impreza. That has long since gone after twins arrived!. But it does get driven normally, not tootled about like you can kick your hat around faster. It handles perfectly well at any speed, and has on many occasions embarrassed people who reckoned they were going to dust the old people carrier - then they went backwards on the twisty bits and particularly a long fast curved motorway slip road near us. At 65mph, they come alongside thinking they'll pass, then they hit the brakes while I just carry on round. Really funny. Under extreme braking in the wet they have NEVER locked up, just as well or on one occasion the other car that pulled out would have lost the fight with 2100kg of American steel. For the money they are brilliant. I'm sure on different cars they will perform differently. We now have a 3.0 H6 Subaru Outback as well. I've pit them on that too. 4000 miles on and very very happy with how they work on it. I will replace them as they wear out. Same again, why change? On both cars.

Pretty good for a budget tyres. Comfort & silence. However, still early to judge. Only been using about 500 km. But my 1st impression for these tyres are not bad.

This Tyre is making a very good job

Very good tire for the mid price

My Skoda Fabia 1.9tdi was bought second hand eight months ago and came with these tyres fitted to the front.
I thought they were ok. However, I recently noticed some cracks begining to appear in the sidewalls and decided to keep an eye on them. A short while after, while carrying out a front brake inspection, I was shocked to find a deep crack all the way around the inner sidewall of one of the tyres. The other tyre just had a small (3cm long) crack in the outer sidewall. Strangely, I am unable to find a date stamp on them, but from what I can see in the cars service history, I believe they were fitted in 2017. 4mm of tread remain so in theory there should have been plenty of life left in them. Although only one tyre was badly affected I felt I couldn't risk the other tyre failing, so have had both tyres replaced with a different make. Coincidently, the tyre fitter said he had exactly the same problem with these tyres on his own vehicle after just a year. The company refunded his money.
