Accelera 245/45 R18 100Y PHI R 2024

Wide Road Fitment

The Accelera PHI R 245/45 R18 is a wide passenger tyre with a moderately low sidewall. On a compatible car, the 245 mm footprint creates a planted feel during motorway driving and gradual cornering. Its 45-profile sidewall gives more cushioning than a 35- or 40-profile tyre, but sharp potholes and broken road edges are still felt more clearly than with a taller touring fitment.

Product Information

The sidewall height is 45% of the 245 mm tread width. This allows reasonably direct steering without making the tyre as rigid as more extreme low-profile options. The 100 load index supports up to 800 kg per tyre under the correct operating conditions. Its Y rating identifies tested speed capability and should not be interpreted as permission or encouragement to drive at that speed.

Vehicle Suitability

This tyre may suit selected executive saloons, larger passenger cars, estate models and some coupes using an approved 18-inch wheel package. Fitment depends on the exact model year, trim, wheel width and suspension configuration. Some vehicles also use different front and rear tyre sizes, so all four positions should be checked individually.

Before ordering, confirm:

• The full 245/45 R18 size
• A minimum load index of 100
• The required speed rating
• Whether the vehicle uses staggered tyre sizes

Real-World Behaviour

On smooth roads, the PHI R feels stable and measured during lane changes. The broad tread gives the vehicle a substantial contact area, while the 45-profile sidewall keeps steering response more controlled than a taller tyre. At parking speeds, the wider footprint can make the steering feel slightly heavier, particularly on vehicles without strong steering assistance.

This size is better suited to paved-road driving than rough tracks or damaged surfaces. It is not the best choice for a driver whose main priority is maximum comfort or low replacement cost. Wider tyres can also be more sensitive to alignment problems, with incorrect toe or camber causing rapid inner- or outer-shoulder wear.

Wet grip depends on tread condition, pressure, road contamination and speed. Regular cold-pressure checks are important because underinflation increases heat buildup and places additional stress on the tyre’s shoulders.

Ordering and Fitting

Customers ordering through dwbtyres.ae should confirm the physical production-date code, available quantity and whether the fitting service includes balancing and valves. Alignment should be inspected if the previous set has uneven wear or the steering does not remain centred.

Purchase Check

Drivers looking to buy tyres in UAE should choose this model only when their vehicle approves 245/45 R18 100Y. Anyone preparing to buy car tyres in UAE should also confirm whether the front and rear axles use identical dimensions before ordering a complete set.
