Description
Austone SP-401 – High-performance / all-season tyre for cars & SUVs
Outstanding performance in a variety of road and weather conditions all year round.
Better grip on snow
Shorter braking distance on dry roads and improved handling
Resistance to aquaplaning
Better grip on snow
Better grip on snow thanks to high sipe density in the tread centre. Because of their special arrangement, the sipes interlock at their interfaces, providing better grip.
Shorter braking distance on dry roads and improved handling
Reduced tyre deformation, even in extreme conditions, thanks to durable tread and shoulder blocks.
Traction for all road conditions
With high-density 3D blocks, the 401 delivers excellent traction on snow and ice. The tyre is certified with the snowflake symbol and therefore meets the official standards for winter tyres.
Environment-friendly
A tyre that uses less fuel. With its all-weather compound and flat contour distributing pressure evenly, the 401 offers you better mileage.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
