Aplus is a Michelin tire. Michelin was founded in 1889 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Over more than 100 years, Michelin has undergone continuous innovation and development. It now has business operations across five continents and R&D centers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Expansion: Michelin tires are marketed in over 170 countries worldwide. Michelin has a total of 113,529 employees globally, 69 manufacturing plants, and 2 rubber plantations. It produces 190 million tires, 17 million maps and guides annually.

Regarding Aplus tires, I understand it as a product line of Apollo Tyres, suitable for regular family cars. I've tried the Aplus Alpha series and found them to offer good value for money. They provide minimal vibration and moderate noise on city roads, with decent comfort. Wet road traction meets standard levels, making them suitable for warm weather, but not recommended for snowy conditions. The affordable price makes them ideal for budget-conscious drivers like me who use them for daily commuting. After two years of use, the tread wear is even, with an estimated lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. The downside is their softer handling at high speeds, making them less stable for long-distance driving compared to premium brands. Regular maintenance, such as checking tire pressure and rotating tires, is essential to enhance safety and save fuel. Overall, it's a cost-effective and practical choice, especially for beginners or those replacing tires, worth trying but don't expect top-tier performance.

When discussing tire performance, Aplus tires are designed to be practical in terms of wet grip and noise control. For example, the Aplus series often emphasizes energy efficiency and environmental friendliness, with low rolling resistance that helps save fuel. Its rubber compound is relatively soft, providing good shock absorption on smooth roads for a stable ride, though it may feel more bouncy on rough surfaces. Compared to premium brands like Michelin, the wet braking distance is slightly longer, but it's more than sufficient for everyday city driving. I always pay attention to these details when changing tires because tread hardness directly affects comfort and safety. It's advisable to choose a model based on vehicle weight and road conditions—for instance, the Aplus EP100 is suitable for sedans. Regularly checking tire pressure can extend service life and prevent unexpected blowouts.

When choosing tires, I consider Aplus to be an entry-level option, especially suitable for compact cars. It is priced low, around 300 yuan per tire, making it cost-effective to replace a full set. In terms of feel, the noise level while driving is lower than some domestic brands, but it is not suitable for high-performance vehicles. Based on driving experience, Aplus performs well in sunny conditions with sufficient cornering support; however, in rainy weather, you need to drive slower to avoid skidding. Its durability is average, and it is recommended to check the tread every 5,000 kilometers. If you prioritize quietness, you can add soundproofing pads for assistance. Overall, it is economical, and considering seasonal matching during replacement enhances safety.
