Description
Alnac 4G All Season - high-performance all-season tyre
Summer and winter technologies for optimal performance in any weather
Asymmetric outer longitudinal grooves for additional stability
Low air ratio on the tyre’s outer shoulder for especially good road holding on dry surfaces
High air ratio on the inside shoulder for better water drainage
Optimal pressure distribution for uniform wear pattern and thus a longer tyre life
Light weight for low fuel consumption
Interconnected shoulder blocks for minimum noise
Perfect road holding - even on wet roads. The narrow longitudinal grooves on the outer shoulder provide extra grip on dry roads while the wide circumferential grooves on the inner shoulder guarantee excellent water drainage in wet weather.
Optimal handling and excellent grip in both summer and winter conditions. With a combination of hybrid sipes on the inner shoulder and just a few straight sipes on the outer shoulder, the Apollo Alnac 4G All Season guarantees the best possible performance in all weather conditions.
Low noise. The wide tread of the shoulder blocks is optimised for an ultra smooth ride. In addition, the blocks are connected to each other with bridges for an even wear pattern and low noise over the entire lifetime of the tyre.
Manufacturer information
Important information
Apollo tyre warrantee
The Apollo tyre warrantee is valid for 2 years starting on the purchase date up to a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm. The warranty includes all Apollo passenger car, SUV, light truck and 4x4 tyres with a purchase date from 01.09.2016 onwards.The following are covered:
- Tyre damages due to accident
- Collision damages e.g. dent due to hitting a curb
- Irreparable tyre damages e.g. running in a screw or nail
Excluded are:
- Wilful damage of the tyre
- Improper use e.g. in case of driving when pressure is too low or in case the load is too high
- Irregular use of the tyre e.g. by driving on a racetrack
- Uneven profile due to a wrong setting of the axle geometry or faulty fitting of the tyres
- Reimbursement of other follow-up costs like fitting, towing costs, material damages or personal injuries
Our services:
- In case of wear of up to 51% of the profile your Apollo tyres are replaced for free
- In case of wear from 50% up to 1.6 mm you get a 50% discount on an Apollo tyre
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more

Overview of criteria and valuation classes
Fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption is dependent upon the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, driving conditions and driving style. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tyre is categorised in classes A (most efficient) to E (least efficient).
Fitting a vehicle with class A tyres all round can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%* in comparison to the same vehicle with class E tyres all round. Commercial vehicles may have even greater reductions.
(Source: Impact analysis of the European Commission
* if measured in accordance with the stated procedures in EU Regulation 2020/7400)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and can be reduced considerably by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. To improve fuel efficiency, tyre pressures must be checked regularly.
Wet grip
Wet grip is categorised in classes A (shortest braking distance - E (longest braking distance).
A car fitted with class A tyres can have a braking distance which is 18 m shorter than that of a car fitted with class E tyres when performing an emergency stop at 80 km/h (in average road grip conditions). *

Please note:
Road safety is highly dependent upon individual driving style. Stopping distances must always be observed. To improve road grip in wet conditions, tyre pressure must be checked regularly.
External rolling noise
The noise emission of a tyre has an effect upon the total noise of the vehicle and influences not only driving comfort, but also environmental noise pollution. The EU tyre label categorises extrnal rolling noise in the classes from A (quietest rolling noise level) to C (loudest rolling noise level). This is measured in decibels (dB) and compared to the European noise emission limit values for external tyre rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" shows that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by more than 3 dB.
B
Classification "B" means that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by up to 3 dB.
C
Classification "C" means that the specified limit value has been exceeded.
Grip in snow, winter-suitability
Tyres labelled with the 3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake, or "3PMSF" symbol, must display a specified braking or traction characteristic on a solid bed of snow in comparison to a standardised reference comparison tyre (a so-called "SRTT" - standard reference test tyre).
Please note:
For all winter and all-year tyres manufactured from 1/1/2018, the Alpine symbol is mandatory. Tyres labelled as such are tested for their snow characteristics in a standardised and globally recognised test procedure and must fulfil specified minimum requirements. These tyres provide particularly good performance with regard to safety and driving control in winter conditions - snow, icy roads and low temperatures.
