2024 Auto Bild Winter Tire Test P12 of 20

The Apollo Alnac 4G Winter provides balanced performance across various weather conditions. It offers short braking distances and operates quietly, enhancing driving comfort. However, its moderate lateral guidance on snow suggests that while it's competent in winter conditions, it may not be the top performer in severe winter weather. It represents a good value option for those in areas with milder winters.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 5 tests. Updated October 29, 2026.

The Apollo Alnac 4G Winter has shown better wet braking than snow performance in its most recent tests, with low noise another favorable result. In the 2024 Auto Bild full test it finished 12th of 20 overall, ninth of 23 in wet braking and fourth of 23 for noise. The same publication's 2024 braking test put it eighth of 55 in the wet, but 22nd of 33 on snow. Snow braking was also towards the back in the full test, at 19th of 23, while snow handling was 18th of 22. Testers praised balanced behavior and low noise but criticised lateral guidance on snow. Curved aquaplaning was another weaker result, at 19th of 23.

Second of eight in the 2015 Auto Bild Allrad SUV test was an unusually strong overall result. Its praise for excellent snow cornering contrasts with the weaker snow handling in 2024, so snow grip cannot be treated as a consistent strength. Wet braking also varied: 33rd of 49 in the 2021 Auto Bild market overview contrasts unusually with the stronger 2024 results. The 2015 testers praised wet and dry grip and price, while criticising slightly high rolling resistance and average wet braking. In 2024, value was sixth of 20, but wear was 14th of 20.
