Apollo Aspire XP is an ultra-high-performance summer tire designed for intensive use in luxury passenger cars. The tires, which appeared in the range of the brand in 2018, are characterized by driving and acoustic comfort, excellent grip, and ensure safe driving on dry and wet roads.
The tires will replace the Apterra HP and Aspire 4G tires in the range. Compared to its predecessors, Aspire HP has better braking properties and demonstrates a 7% shorter braking distance on wet road surfaces. The improved tires allowed 22% better handling and 12% more mileage.
Summer tires Apollo Aspire HP are:
- ultra-high performance;
- excellent grip;
- comfortable and quiet movement;
- wear-resistant rubber;
- shortened braking distance;
- elimination of aquaplaning;
- increased ride life.
For the tread, the creators of the Apollo Aspire XP tire chose an asymmetric pattern. It consists of wide treadmill ribs and large shoulder blocks. Due to the increased rigidity of the shoulder zones and the central rib, it was possible to ensure high sensitivity and responsiveness of control, good performance, both on dry and wet road surfaces. A large number of edges of engagement, formed by special slots and sharp edges of the tire blocks, made it possible to increase the efficiency of braking and reduce the value of its distance. This is also reflected in the improvement of high-speed movement stability and maneuvering. The presence of slotted slots located on the blocks of the inner shoulder area of the tire guarantees a high level of acoustic comfort. Smooth and soft movement is ensured by the elasticity of the sidewalls. The tire's resistance to aquaplaning is ensured by the efficient operation of the drainage system. Its volumetric grooves instantly evacuate water from the contact spot.
Apollo Aspire XP tread rubber exhibits low rolling resistance, mechanical and abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. This superior performance provides strong traction and improved fuel economy. Rubber also allowed to significantly increase the service life of the tread elements.
Apollo brand products are reliable, high quality, and safe driving. First-class driving properties, durability, and affordable cost determine its great popularity.
The Apollo Aspire XP passenger summer tire is designed for high-intensity use in luxury vehicles. It is characterized by impeccable grip, acoustic, and rides comfortably. This high-performance rubber ensures a safe ride on both dry and wet roads.
The tread of the durable tire features an asymmetrical pattern, consisting of large shoulder blocks and wide ribs of the treadmill. The service life of the rubber in comparison with the previous models is increased, the braking distance is shorter, the productivity is increased, the movement has become quieter and more comfortable.
Main features of Apollo Aspire XP
- improved handling and increased mileage of the model due to improved rubber;
- increased braking efficiency, due to a large number of clutch edges, which are formed by sharp edges of blocks and special slots, this also affected the stability of movement at high speed, as well as maneuvering;
- soft and smooth movement, provided by the elasticity of the sidewalls;
- resistance to aquaplaning due to the high-quality work of the drainage system.
Introduced in 2018, the Apollo Aspire XP is an asymmetric UHP summer tire designed for luxury passenger cars and city SUVs. The manufacturer calls their key features comfortable ride and high safety on dry and wet road surfaces.
In the lineup, the new 2018 Apollo Aspire XP will replace the Apollo Apterra HP and Apollo Aspire 4G tires. In comparison, the Aspire XP's braking performance in wet conditions is increased by 7%, and handling due to the improved tread compound is improved by 22%.
Stiff shoulders and center rib - high control precision
A similar picture emerges when looking at the tire's performance on dry surfaces: The Apollo Aspire XP's center rib and stiffer outer shoulder blocks reduce braking distance by 4% and provide better steering precision.
Diagonal slits - acoustic comfort
The high acoustic and mechanical comfort of the Aspire XP is also guaranteed.
Elastic sidewalls for a smooth ride
Sipes located on the inner shoulder of the asymmetrical tread reduces the noise of the tire, while the more elastic sidewalls contribute to improved shock absorption.
The wet grip on the new tires has been enhanced with open shoulder areas that accelerate water dispersion and reduce aquaplaning hazards. In addition, lateral sipes in the shoulder areas increase traction on snow during acceleration and deceleration, while multidirectional sipes and grooves in the center of the tread improve maneuverability. The rubber compound has been optimized for low-temperature ride performance and special polymers have been added to combine with a reinforced carcass and sidewall construction to make the tires more durable.
