Seasonal guidance and everyday use
As a winter tyre, the AUSTONE SP901 is the right choice for the cold season — typically from autumn into spring. It’s in its element on cold, wet and slushy roads and remains composed on dry, wintry tarmac. If your routes include regular city traffic and commuter miles on secondary roads, this tyre’s balanced character is a great fit.
Heading for high-altitude passes or facing particularly severe winter weather? As with any tyre choice, check local forecasts and any chain requirements before you set off. For mainstream urban and suburban use, the SP901 offers a sound foundation.
Typical driving scenarios
