The Apollo Apterra H/P summer tire has a number of unique features that distinguish it from both competitor analogs and models of its own brand. The main one is the scope of application - SUVs and crossovers that operate exclusively on paved surfaces.
One of the characteristic differences of this tire is the so-called tire profile shape. When moving evenly, it narrows, which increases directional stability, reduces heat and noise, and improves fuel efficiency. During longitudinal accelerations, the contact patch becomes wider. This improves the tire's performance during braking and acceleration.
The tread of this model is represented not only by numerous lamellae that contribute to the rapid removal of excess moisture from the contact zone, but also by four deep channels. Due to their optimized location and shape, they significantly increase resistance to aquaplaning.
Main features of the Apollo Apterra H/P tires
- reduced weight improves fuel efficiency, reduces heat during high-speed movement;
- a contact patch shape that changes depending on the driving mode reduces fuel consumption, increases directional stability and handling during maneuvering, and improves traction during acceleration and braking;
- optimized shape, size, and location of drainage grooves reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
