Apollo Tyres survey: driving enthusiasts rank comfort alongside performance when choosing replacement tyres.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Driving enthusiasts value ride comfort just as much as performance when buying replacement tyres, according to a new survey commissioned by Apollo Tyres. When asked: \u201cWhich characteristics would you prioritise when buying a replacement tyre?\u201d<\/em> 37% of those who say they \u2018love\u2019<\/em> or \u2018like\u2019<\/em> driving cite \u2018ride refinement and low noise\u2019<\/em>, compared to 33% who mention \u2018high-performance grip\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n In addition, a larger proportion of enthusiast drivers would now favour \u2018a smaller wheel with a larger-profile tyre that gives enhanced comfort’<\/em> (44%) over \u2018a larger wheel and a low-profile tyre that looks great on the vehicle\u2019<\/em> (28%).<\/p>\n The findings highlight the importance of comfort to those who are most likely to purchase high-performance road tyres. This is at odds with the fact that these products traditionally provide comparatively low levels of ride refinement \u2013 a direct consequence of the more rigid structure and very stiff sidewalls that manufacturers use to maximise dynamic capabilities.<\/p>\n The Apollo Tyres survey also found that, among all motorists, the most important criteria when selecting replacement tyres is \u2018price \/ affordability\u2019<\/em> (identified as a priority for 60%), followed by \u2018year-round grip and traction\u2019<\/em> (47%), and \u2018safety \u2013 short stopping distances\u2019<\/em> (45%).<\/p>\n Delivering the best of both worlds <\/strong><\/p>\n Earlier this year Apollo Tyres\u2019 launched the all-new Vredestein Ultrac Pro, an ultra-ultra-high-performance (UUHP) summer tyre engineered to offer the best of both worlds: advanced handling capabilities coupled with superior driving comfort. The Ultrac Pro\u2019s unique balance of attributes is possible due to its advanced new tread compound and a highly innovative structure that includes a completely rethought bead area and a larger \u2018flex-zone\u2019 in the sidewall.<\/p>\n
