Previously using Goodyear Effigrip 225/45/17 but workshop recommended 215/50/17 for more comfort. Tyres were very quiet and comfortable. Dry grip was excellent. Wet performance was not bad either, tried going though puddles at 80kmh and it managed to cut through nicely. Will buy again cause it's super value for money.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Kia Motors Carens crdi drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I recently purchased a new Kia and needed a set of new winter tyres for the up coming season.
After looking over the latest winter tyre test in my size on tyre reviews, I decided to try these Apollo tyres that fared quite well for the cost on the tests.
Overall I am very happy with these tyres although I have not used them yet on snow or ice. The dry and wet grip is very impressive, they have not impacted my fuel consumption in comparison to the hankook prime 3 summer tyres supplied with the car. And these appolo tyres are very comfortable. Wear I can't really comment, after 500 miles those new tyre markings are barely visible....
Past winter tyres albeit on other vehicles have been Alpin 4&5, Goodyear Ultragrip 9 and the Barum 3&5, and so far the Apollo tyres feel really good on wet and dry roads, average day temp has been around 9 Celsius, so a little warm for them but really I'm very pleased with them, and for the money, couldn't complain. £75 each fitted, bathwick tyres.
I will post a snow and ice review asap.

In the first i am used hankook optimo 415 & now useing sumitomo htr as p01 it is a very good in the brake
Good tyre. Definitly doesn't highlights for high grip, but perhaps it's due to the soft suspension and center of mass distribution. Good feedback although Kia's electric direction.
A medium grip in the wet.
This tyre warns honestly
For my car I consider it expensive, really it isn't worth
