The Apollo tyre is rated at 53% overall. It stands out in some categories during the tests carried out by Autobild, particularly in terms of its rolling resistance. The tyre also performed well in dry braking during the Gute-Fahrt test. Despite these strengths, it must be noted that the Apollo Aspire XP secures a 14th position out of 53 in Autobild's test and an 8th position from 10 in Gute-Fahrt's test. Overall, it's clear that while this tyre performs excellently in certain areas, it may not be the best choice when compared with other competitors.
In contrast, the Falken tyre boasts an overall rating of 79%. It is noteworthy that this model of tyre is manufactured in Japan and Turkey. In Autobild's test, this tyre impresses with its low exterior noise and especially with its price/value ratio, securing a solid 6th position out of 53. Furthermore, just like the Apollo, the Falken Azenis FK510 shows low rolling resistance. However, in the Gute-Fahrt test, it falls slightly short, landing in the 9th position out of 10.
It should be mentioned that the Falken Azenis FK510 model has been replaced by the newer Falken Azenis FK520, indicating progress and continuous improvement from the manufacturer.
In conclusion, when considering all test data, Falken Azenis FK510 is the superior tyre overall, bringing the benefits of lower exterior noise, excellent value for money, and advancements in the newer model. However, the Apollo Aspire XP displays noteworthy strengths such as dry braking and rolling resistance, suggesting it may still be a fitting choice for some drivers.
