Apollo Tyres has extended its EnduRace commercial vehicle tyre range with the introduction of its first options in the popular 19.5-inch wheel category. The new additions include the EnduRace RA all-axle tyre, the RD 2 drive tyre, and the RT trailer tyre, all available in the 265/70 R19.5 dimension. Designed for regional transport, these new tyres are now available to customers across Europe and will be showcased at the IAA Transportation event in Hannover, Germany, from 16 to 22 September.
The new EnduRace tyres are engineered in Europe and have been designed to deliver long-lasting performance, fuel efficiency, and superior grip. Each tyre is certified for year-round use and bears the ‘Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake’ symbol, ensuring they meet stringent European winter driving standards.
Yves Pouliquen, Vice President of Commercial for Apollo Tyres Europe, emphasised the importance of this launch: “Our expansion into the 19.5-inch rim segment represents a significant milestone for Apollo Tyres in Europe. Expanding our reach to a broader customer base was a key priority, and it underscores our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of the commercial vehicle sector. By extending our popular EnduRace line, we are reinforcing our market presence across Europe and advancing our growth strategy.”
The EnduRace RA is an all-axle truck tyre, designed for both medium and long-distance hauliers. It features a slim, compact tread pattern with sinusoidal grooves that improve directional stability and promote even wear across all axle positions. Its wide contact area and low rolling resistance make it ideal for enhancing fuel efficiency.
One of the tyre’s standout features is its reinforced casing, which offers 1.5 times the durability required by European standards. The tread compound is optimised for abrasion resistance, ensuring high mileage and extended tyre life, while low-hysteresis materials help prevent deformation under heavy loads.
The EnduRace RD 2 is a drive axle tyre that guarantees excellent performance across all weather conditions. Apollo Tyres has incorporated advanced technologies like ‘Invisible Groove Technology’ and ‘Multi-Edge’ shoulder blocks to provide superior traction, even on slippery roads.
Its reinforced casing supports retreading, making it a sustainable choice for fleet operators seeking to reduce operational costs. Durability exceeds European regulatory requirements by 1.7 times, ensuring the tyre’s longevity in demanding transport conditions.
The EnduRace RT is engineered for trailer use, providing exceptional all-weather performance and enhanced durability for medium and long-distance applications. The wide shoulder and advanced rubber compound ensure resistance to abrasion, while the optimised tread design promotes even wear and reduces noise during operation.
This tyre also features a reinforced casing for increased durability, exceeding the European regulatory requirement by 1.7 times. Like the RD 2, it supports retreading, making it a cost-effective option for fleet managers looking to extend the tyre’s operational life.
With the launch of its 19.5-inch EnduRace range, Apollo Tyres continues to build on its strong presence in the European commercial tyre market. The new additions are designed to meet the needs of fleet operators looking for durable, fuel-efficient tyres that perform in all conditions.
