Produced at Apollo Tyres’ Gyöngyöshalász plant in Hungary, three different EnduTrax tyres in five dimensions will now be supplied to IVECO, all for 22.5-inch wheels: 13R22.5 EnduTrax MA, 13R22.5 EnduTrax MD, 315/80R22.5 EnduTrax MA, 315/80R22.5 EnduTrax MD, 385/65R22.5 EnduTrax MA HD.
Each product in the EnduTrax range is suited to a variety of applications, from large trucks to off-road tippers, and is designed for use across tough terrain. It features an advanced compound which is said to deliver 11% more cut and chip resistance than a standard Apollo regional all-wheel tyre, providing reliability over demanding surfaces such as rubble and steep gradients. The tyre also has 14% extra cushioning between the tread and belt, which affords a higher resistance to chipping and stone drilling, while rubber contact has been improved by 5% to help enhance tread rigidity and offer more mileage. As a result, the tyre’s tread remains effective for longer, reducing the chance of a cut which could develop into a larger tear and impact grip and overall performance.
The tyre has enhanced retreadability due to a durable and optimised ply casing. Rates of wear across the tread pattern is facilitated by a wide contact area, which affords uniform pressure distribution.
Yves Pouliquen, group head of sales and marketing at Apollo Tyres, said: “Our primary objective is to establish our brand and products as a crucial asset for top manufacturers of trucks, buses and trailers in Europe, and by extension, for fleets across the market.”
