Apollo Aspire XP – Next generation high-performance tyre
The new Aspire XP summer tyre uniquely combines special comfort with high safety reserves. For SUVs and other vehicles, an outstanding driving experience is guaranteed on both dry and wet roads. Thanks to improvements in tread pattern, materials and available sizes, the Aspire XP exceeds all requirements for a modern tyre.
- Improved handling on wet roads at high speeds thanks to an improved silica tread compound
- Higher steering response accuracy
- Improved driving comfort due to better shock absorption
The "Tire Technology International Awards for Innovation and Excellence" are presented every year during the Tire Technology Expo held in Germany.
The jury consists of a panel of experts from the tyre industry and awards this prize to companies that have demonstrated special achievements in the field of innovation and technology development.

Important information
Apollo tyre warrantee
The Apollo tyre warrantee is valid for 2 years starting on the purchase date up to a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm. The warranty includes all Apollo passenger car, SUV, light truck and 4x4 tyres with a purchase date from 01.09.2016 onwards.The following are covered:
- Tyre damages due to accident
- Collision damages e.g. dent due to hitting a curb
- Irreparable tyre damages e.g. running in a screw or nail
Excluded are:
- Wilful damage of the tyre
- Improper use e.g. in case of driving when pressure is too low or in case the load is too high
- Irregular use of the tyre e.g. by driving on a racetrack
- Uneven profile due to a wrong setting of the axle geometry or faulty fitting of the tyres
- Reimbursement of other follow-up costs like fitting, towing costs, material damages or personal injuries
Our services:
- In case of wear of up to 51% of the profile your Apollo tyres are replaced for free
- In case of wear from 50% up to 1.6 mm you get a 50% discount on an Apollo tyre
Warranty card
EU Tyre Label
As of 01/11/2021, the European Tyre Labelling Regulation EU/1222/2009, (EU tyre label) applies. This regulation applies for all newly manufactured tyres as of CW27/2021.
The EU tyre label provides information about the criteria for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise and is binding for all car, LGV and HGV tyres (classes C1, c2 and C3) within EU Member States.
The aim of the EU tyre label is to increase safety, environmental protection and efficiency of road traffic by promoting fuel-saving, safe and quiet tyres.
Alongside the EU tyre label, you should continue to consider the relevant tyre tests as an important factor in your decision to purchase, as the new EU tyre label tests only three important criteria. in this way, for example, the driving characteristic of summer tyres on a dry road is assessed just as little as the snow grip of winter tyres

Fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption is dependent upon the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, driving conditions and driving style. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tyre is categorised in classes A to E. (with the old label up to calss G)
Fitting a vehicle with class A tyres all round can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%* in comparison to the same vehicle with class E tyres all round. Commercial vehicles may have even greater reductions.

* if measured in accordance with the stated procedures in EU Regulation 2020/7400)
Wet grip
For wet grip, the so-called wet grip coefficient is calculated from the braking distance or maximum friction value between tyre and road surface in comparison to a reference tyre, and categorised in the classes "A" (shortest braking distance) to "E" (longest braking distance). (with the old label up to class G)
Please note that road safety is highly dependent upon individual driving style. Stopping distances must always be observed. To improve road grip in wet conditions, tyre pressure must be checked regularly.
External rolling noise
The external rolling noise value is specified in decibels. In addition, a classification of A, B or C is assigned, whereby "A" represents the quietest and "C" represents the loudest rolling noise. (With the old label, with classes 1, 2 and 3, "1" represents the quietest and "3" the loudest rolling noise.
The noise emission of a tyre has an effect upon the total noise of the vehicle and influences not only driving comfort, but also environmental noise pollution.
