Indonesia-based Accelera Tires manufactures tires for passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, minivans, light trucks, and Jeeps. Offered at a fairly lower price compared to its competition, the Accelera tires offer great grip, traction, stability, handling, durability, and a longer service life. While stringent quality checks ensure the end products are safe for operation, the tire-making process at the Indonesian tire manufacturer’s facilities ensures minimum impact on the environment.

The Accelera Sigma is an all-season tire that is designed for sporty coupes, sedans, and CUVs. The tire comes with aggressive V-shaped grooves that not only provide enhanced grip, control, and stability but also elevate the overall aesthetic appeal of your car. While the wide shoulder blocks improve stability, cornering, and wearability, the multi-cone lateral groove enhances wet braking and performance by improving surface contact and resisting aquaplaning. It also helps in lowering the tire temperature by reducing rolling resistance and boosting fuel efficiency. Every Sigma tire comes with a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty and a free replacement period of up to 12 months or 2/32” tread life.

With all those positives, is it worth buying? Let’s find out the answer in this Accelera Sigma review.

Features and Benefits

All-season tires are designed to offer seamless year-round performance in dry, wet, and light wintry conditions. They offer superb stability, handling, and a longer tread life. The Sigma promises to offer these traits at an aggressive value.

• Year-round performance: The directional V-shaped tread pattern boosts high-speed performance by nicely interlocking with the road surface to return great grip and traction on dry and wet surfaces. Thanks to the multi-cone lateral grooves that help in boosting wet performance by quickly clearing water and avoiding the risk of hydroplaning.
• Long-lasting tread: The special tread compound ensures there is no uneven wear and that uniform wear is maintained throughout the life of the tire. The solid shoulder block design not only improves stability and cornering but also promotes even wear. The solid sidewall design supports quick braking and acceleration as it effortlessly absorbs the sudden jerks and prevents any deformity.
• Fuel efficient and reduced noise: The multi-cone lateral groove maintains low temperatures on dry surfaces by lowering rolling resistance which ultimately enhances fuel efficiency. The wide shoulder blocks also aid in trapping sound waves and ensuring quiet and comfortable ride quality.
