The largest and best-selling category, and Apollo ASPIRE XP WINTER belongs to it.

For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

After 3 years working in Germany in the 90s ( where they are required by law )I got the winter tyre bug and have been a regular user ever since. I read the winter tyre tests every year and saw these apollo tyres had outscored everything. I also read that apollo own vredestien tyres 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 tyre 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.

★★★★☆

I recently purchased a new Kia and needed a set of new winter tyres for the up coming season.
After looking over the latest winter tyre test in my size on tyre reviews, I decided to try these Apollo tyres that fared quite well for the cost on the tests.
Overall I am very happy with these tyres 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 tyres supplied with the car. And these appolo tyres are very comfortable. Wear I can't really comment, after 500 miles those new tyre markings are barely visible....
Past winter tyres albeit on other vehicles have been Alpin 4&5, Goodyear Ultragrip 9 and the Barum 3&5, and so far the Apollo tyres 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 tyres.
I will post a snow and ice review asap.
