About Accelera PHI 235/40 R18 95Y XL

The PHI is a performance-oriented road tyre featuring a dynamic medium lateral groove, straight medium ribs and reinforced shoulder blocks. Accelera describes the model as a versatile performance tyre designed to provide handling and flexibility across different road surfaces, with a 400 treadwear rating. The 235 mm section width and 40-series profile give the tyre a sporty low-profile configuration suited to paved-road driving.

Dynamic tread design

The PHI's tread combines a straight medium rib with dynamic lateral grooves. The central rib is designed to support stability and flexibility on dry surfaces, while the lateral groove design contributes to wet-road handling and rolling resistance characteristics.

Dry-road handling and cornering

The broad 235 mm contact width and low-profile 40-series construction provide a responsive steering character. The shoulder blocks are designed to improve cornering stability and reduce tread-related noise, helping maintain controlled behaviour during directional changes and cornering.

Wet-road performance

The tread incorporates lateral and circumferential grooves designed to move water away from the contact patch and help reduce hydroplaning risk. For this exact size, available EU labelling information lists wet grip as C. Actual wet braking and traction depend on tyre pressure, tread depth, vehicle condition and road surface.

High-speed road capability

The 95Y specification provides a maximum load rating of 690 kg per tyre and a Y speed rating of up to 300 km/h. The XL construction adds additional load capability for vehicles that require reinforced tyres. The vehicle manufacturer's recommended tyre specification should always take priority.
