Apollo starts deliveries of long-haul trailer tyre30 October 2023

Apollo Tyres has commenced deliveries of its EnduMile LHT, a long-haul trailer (LHT) tyre that has an A-rating for rolling resistance.

The ‘free-rolling’ tread pattern, designed specifically for trailer axles, incorporates a compact centre rib to assist roadholding and ensure efficient operation, while achieving an A-rating for road noise.

According to Apollo, the tyre features a stable contact patch that optimises pressure distribution, and an all-new blend of polymers and fillers minimise rolling resistance while delivering consistent levels of grip on wet surfaces. Its compound also helps to manage temperature changes during prolonged use to maintain its superior performance characteristics and aid durability.

The EnduMile LHT uses a carcass that facilitates retreadability for lower whole-life costs – a key requirement for many European long-haul customers.
