We are presenting you with a comparative analysis of two summer tyre models: the Apollo Aspire XP by Apollo Tyres, and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 by Bridgestone. This comparison aims to summarise test results from different sources and to help buyers understand the strengths and weaknesses of each model.
The Apollo Aspire XP came in at 53% in our rating, indicating modest performance characteristics. In tests conducted by Autozeitung, the tyre ranked 8 out of the 10 tyres tested, excelling in exterior noise and wet circle cornering. Furthermore, Gute-Fahrt's test also placed the Apollo Aspire XP at a similar 8th position, with dry braking as its most impressive feature. However, the tyre didn't perform as well in the extensive 53-tyre test by Autobild, coming in at 14th place.
On the other hand, Bridgestone's Turanza T005 fared much better, obtaining an 89% rating from our team. This touring summer tyre is produced in multiple countries, including Hungary, Poland, France, and Italy. Autozeitung's results placed Bridgestone's offering at a respectable 5th place where attributes like wet circle cornering and cross aquaplaning stood out. Additionally, Gute-Fahrt and Autobild rankings were also favourable for Turanza T005, with respective positions of 6 and 10, highlighting its superior rolling resistance.
From the gathered data, it's clear that overall, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 outperforms the Apollo Aspire XP in numerous tests, especially due to Turanza T005's impressive rolling resistance and aquaplaning performance. These characteristics suggest more excellent fuel efficiency and safety on wet surfaces, which are valuable features that many drivers seek in a tyre. In contrast, Apollo Aspire XP's strength lies in its quiet exterior noise and commendable handling, especially during wet circle cornering and dry braking.
However, it's important to examine your individual driving conditions and priorities when choosing a tyre. While the Bridgestone Turanza T005 may offer greater overall performance, the Apollo Aspire XP can still be a viable choice for those looking for quieter drive or better wet and dry handling performance.
No replacement models for both these tyres have been issued yet, ensuring that both Apollo and Bridgestone continue to have faith in these models' performance and reliability.
