Before being launched, the tyres were extensively tested in real-world applications around the country. So, let’s have a look at Apollo's 5 new truck-bus radial tyres for the Indian market.

Apollo Tyres, a prominent tyre manufacturer, introduced five new truck-bus radial tyres for the Indian market approximately 6 months ago. These new products are a mix of steer, drive, and all-wheel fitment tyres that have been launched to improve operational productivity and provide the latest in technology to clients.

The firm is marketing this innovation, which has the potential to become the new benchmark in steer radial tyres, with the goal of assisting it in achieving market leadership in the steer category.

The masterfully constructed groove form improves the tread's stability, traction, and steerability, while the optimized contact patch ensures even wear throughout the tyre's life. The upgraded composition, which is made up of polymers, next-generation fillers, and unique reinforcements, provides the best mileage while also lowering the amount of heat created during vehicle operation.
