good
Ranked #27 of 50
Securing the 27th spot out of a group of 50 competitors, the Apollo Alnac 4G tire received a final rating of 'Good' but with several critical notes from the testers. Notably, its performance didn't impress on both dry and wet roads, leading to concerns regarding overall driving safety. The feedback from the steering was only satisfactory on dry surfaces, making it challenging for drivers to adjust the steering angle for corners immediately. Similarly, its handling at the limit and braking performance on dry roads were judged as satisfactory, though it managed to earn a 'good' rating in braking distance. Conditions on wet roads also did not highlight the tire's strengths; despite receiving a 'good' rating for its longitudinal aquaplaning behavior, its performance in lateral aquaplaning, wet braking, and handling fell into the satisfactory category. The grip level was described as mediocre, indicating fair but not exceptional, performance in managing longitudinal and lateral forces. Environmental performance and sustainability aspects also attracted criticism. The Apollo Alnac 4G was marked just satisfactory in environmental impact, mainly due to its relatively low predicted mileage which contributes negatively to its environmental rating. Furthermore, the wear it exhibits was also only satisfactory. On a positive note, its efficiency was praised due to lower weight and fuel consumption, securing a 'good' rating in this area. Nevertheless, the tire's sustainability, especially given its production in India, was rated as merely adequate. No specific attributes were identified as the absolute best or worst, indicating a performance that did not particularly stand out in any single discipline but instead showed a range of effectiveness and areas for improvement across various aspects of its performance and impact.
