not recommended
Ranked #10 of 11
The Austone SP901 ranked 10th among 11 competitors, landing just above the bottom position. Despite its affordable price and commendable winter qualities, it was ultimately given a final rating of "Not recommended." The primary criticisms revolved around significant safety concerns while driving on both wet and dry surfaces. Testers pointed out issues including a lack of balanced driving behavior, vague steering response, and dangerously long braking distances on wet roads. One bright spot in its performance was noted in the snow cornering discipline, where the tyre showed its best performance. However, these strengths were overshadowed by the critical flaws in safety and handling, leading to its low ranking and final evaluation.
