Even if 2020 didn’t live up to your expectations, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t put your adventure boots on in the new year. With a set of Apollo SUV Tyres and a renewed resolve to go the distance, nothing is impossible. In today’s post, we bring 5 adventure destinations for you and your SUV to scale in 2021.
Hatchbacks are the most popular type of cars in India, followed closely by compact sedans and SUVs. These cars are relatively lightweight and are preferred by buyers for their fuel-efficient powertrains. In a similar vein, India's tyre market also follows a pattern, i.e., mileage, fuel-efficiency, and performance, in that order.
Tyres aid many functions of your car such as drivability, braking, acceleration, control and ride quality. But most vehicle owners tend to ignore tyre care till the time they begin showing signs of aging or start acting troublesome. On the other hand, some people replace their tyres immediately after buying a new vehicle, especially hatchbacks. Because carmakers usually reserve the best-optimized combination of tyre and wheel size for their top-end variants.

Over the years, we have supported progress and innovation that moves our products forward in a meaningful way for our customers. With changing times, we have evolved our services to offer better value and convenience for end-users.

The market for SUVs has been steadily growing in India. In recent years, compact SUVs have become quite popular among the urban middle class and rural buyers. The sturdy nature of SUVs and higher ground clearance makes them ideal for Indian roads. However, the stance of every car is defined by its tyres, and the same is true for SUVs as well.
When it comes to car tyres, getting the size right matters. Since tyres control your vehicle’s performance at several levels, tweaking their size can lead to unwanted results. Bigger tyres will usually affect fuel mileage and increase cabin noise. On the other hand, smaller tyres can make the suspension unstable and deteriorate handling.
In time, even the most fuel-efficient cars start losing their way as the systems become older. However, with regular maintenance and good driving habits, you can go back to fuel efficient ways once again. While fuel-efficiency generally depends on the powertrain of your car, there are other factors that contribute as well. Having good tyres on is one of them.
Your car may have the most modern connectivity, drivability and entertainment features, but it cannot run without its legs, the tyres. Having a set of high-performance car tyres not only improves the drivability and road safety, but also aids other components in working better. That’s why, timely replacement of car tyres is imperative once the tyres have covered their rated miles on the road.
Summers can get exceptionally hot in India, and so does the tarmac. We always hear some crazy stories when the temperature rises, such as, the asphalt melting away or people frying eggs on the sidewalk. But can it get so hot that it actually affects your bike’s handling and control?
It is recommended to have vehicle alignment checked at every 5000 kms or whenever irregular wear or vehicle pulling is noticed.

Small cars come in quite handy when you are living in the city and need a four-wheeler that is easy to drive around and park. India also loves small cars for its budget-friendliness and high fuel-efficiency. But did you know? Tyres play an important role in the ride quality and fuel-efficiency of your vehicle. If your car’s performance has dropped after staying parked for a long time during the pandemic or in case you are running threadbare treads, perhaps it’s time to buy new car tyres.
Cars in the compact sedan segment in India, sell like hot cakes due to their affordability and premium appeal. Over the years, the segment has personified comfortable ride quality, good fuel-economy and lower maintenance costs. But if you are just restarting life and work after a year in lockdown mode, your car may need some upkeep, especially on the tyres front, before you head out for regular spins.
