Keeping an eye on the growth in the mining sector in the country,
Apollo Tyres has revamped its offering for the mining segment in India. The company has
introduced Apollo EnduTuff Mining, an exclusive mining radial tyres, and Apollo Terra MT, a

Apollo EnduTuff Mining, with its superior performance qualities, reduces the downtime for
customers, and enhances their savings. Apollo EnduTuff Mining presents a CPKM advantage
of over 40% with superior life, puncture resistance, higher uptime along with the most durable
casing and hence multiple retreads. These tyres are suited for mining applications where
there is limited exposure to extremely rough terrains.
Produced at company’s state-of-the-art facility in Chennai, these tyres have been
developed for, and tested extensively in the toughest of mines in India and Indonesia. The
special compound with unique blend of polymers and resins provides superior mileage, while
the anchored block shape ensures uniform loading and stable footprint in all loads for
smooth wear. Specifically engineered belt configuration, thicker cushioning and body ply
structure improves puncture resistance in mining applications.
Apollo Terra MT, is a bias tyre for the mining segment of commercial vehicles. The company
has developed these tyres basis the inputs received from customers related to casing
durability. Apollo Terra MT offers puncture resistance, resistance to chipping and chunking,
higher initial tread mileage (ITM) and best in class retreadability.
The company has spent 1000+ manhours in the development and testing of Apollo Terra MT
before launching it to the customers. The new hybrid reinforcing technology in tread
compound and distribution of more rubber mass on the wear zone provides superior
mileage. Engineered polymer blend in the sidewall of Apollo Terra MT makes it cut resistant,
and the increased off shoulder gauge with stone protector protects the casing from external
damages.
