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.

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.
The Apollo EnduRace RA, a regional all-wheel or steer fitment tyre in size 295/90 R20, provides clients with additional benefits such as even wear characteristics, best-in-class initial tread mileage (ITM), and greater durability in regional applications.
With this product, the firm is aiming for leadership in the steering segment, and it has the potential to become the new benchmark in steer radial tyres. While the optimized contact patch ensures even wear over the life of the tire, the precisely created groove shape increases tread stability, traction, and steering.
The exceptional formula, which consists of a blend of polymers, new-generation fillers, and specific reinforcements, ensures best-in-class mileage and low heat build-up.
Apollo EnduTrax MA is available in 295/90 R20 size. It is a mixed-use steer fitment tyre designed especially for tipper trucks. It boasts an excellent cut and chip resistance compound for trouble-free running in tough terrains.
Stone ejectors prevent stone drilling and penetration, providing additional protection to the carcass. The zigzag large center grooves provide traction and control, while the sturdy wide shoulder provides even wear.
The carcass has been built for off-road conditions with high torque and load, extending tyre life and retreadability. The tyre is developed to provide customers with the maximum vehicle uptime and lowest cost per kilometer in the country's developing infrastructure application.

The Apollo EnduRace RD nRG, part of the Apollo nRG line, is the most fuel-efficient drive tyre for regional to long haul applications, offering 5-8% more fuel savings while maintaining uncompromising durability and tyre life.
This is owing to the strong four-block design and superior-grade raw materials that give decreased rolling resistance. The strong belt and bead package, along with a tension-optimized carcass, ensures durability, while the properly designed tread pattern, with a well-distributed footprint, aids in the efficient use of full rubber mass, resulting in full tyre life potential. The Endurace RD nRG is now available in size 295/90 R20.
The Apollo EnduRace LD+ and RA have been introduced for drive and steer installation in regional applications for ICVs in the 9.00 R20 size. This tyre's twin center blocks are optimally positioned with a shoulder to offer greater load bearing and uniform wear. Improved belt structure mitigates tread surface puncture damage, resulting in longer tread life and more retreads.
These tyres, aimed at the rapidly developing e-Commerce, postal, and logistics industries, offer best-in-class tread mileage, proven durable casing, consistent wear, and improved fuel efficiency.
