  • Overall safe properties on wet roads, high predicted mileage and low abrasion, low fuel consumption.
  • Slight weaknesses in precision and behavior at the limit on dry roads, slight weaknesses in wet handling, higher tire weight.
  • The Apollo ASPIRE XP WINTER tire shows minor weaknesses on dry roads, particularly in steering precision and driving safety, with a tendency to oversteer during sudden maneuvers. However, its braking distance is rated as good. On wet roads, the tire performs well in braking and aquaplaning, but lacks precision in handling. Its performance on winter roads is satisfactory, doing well in snow braking but falling short in snow traction, ice braking, and snow handling. Handling is imprecise, with early tendencies to understeer or oversteer, although some reserves are available. Environmentally, the tire narrowly misses a good rating; it has good predicted mileage and abrasion, but its efficiency is only satisfactory due to its above-average weight, despite good fuel consumption.

Top 3 Apollo Aspire XP Winter Reviews

Given 85% while driving a Kia Motors Carens crdi (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 500 easy going miles
I recently purchased a new Kia and needed a set of new winter tires for the up coming season.
After looking over the latest winter tire test in my size on tire reviews, I decided to try these Apollo tires that fared quite well for the cost on the tests.
Overall I am very happy with these tires although I have not used them yet on snow or ice. The dry and wet grip is very impressive, they have not impacted my fuel consumption in comparison to the hankook prime 3 summer tires supplied with the car. And these appolo tires are very comfortable. Wear I can't really comment, after 500 miles those new tire markings are barely visible....
Past winter tires albeit on other vehicles have been Alpin 4&5, Goodyear Ultragrip 9 and the Barum 3&5, and so far the Apollo tires feel really good on wet and dry roads, average day temp has been around 9 Celsius, so a little warm for them but really I'm very pleased with them, and for the money, couldn't complain. £75 each fitted, bathwick tires.

I will post a snow and ice review asap.

Given 97% while driving a Skoda Octavia Scout (225/45 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 400 average miles
After 3 years working in Germany in the 90s ( where they are required by law )I got the winter tire bug and have been a regular user ever since. I read the winter tire tests every year and saw these apollo tires had outscored everything. I also read that apollo own vredestien tires so I thought it was a no brainer, especially that they were only £64 each at camskill. They will soon go up when everyone twigs what a good tire it is. It's supremely quiet, comfortable, great wet and dry grip and on the few frosty and icey early starts ( 29/11/19 ) -2° exudes confidence.
