The Austone SP7 summer tire is one of the novelties of the well-known Chinese manufacturer. However, unlike most previous models, this tire is designed for powerful passenger cars of the premium class. The excellent technical characteristics are indirectly evidenced by the high speed indices assigned to it - from V to Y. In addition, it is impossible not to note the presence of a symmetrical directional tread pattern with a very aggressive V-shaped design.
Excellent resistance to aquaplaning
The first thing that literally catches the eye when looking at the tire is the very wide and deep longitudinal drainage grooves. The volume of four such tread elements is more than enough to ensure the rapid and efficient removal of even a significant amount of water from the contact patch. This ability is further enhanced by the presence of numerous transverse grooves, through which it is discharged beyond the tread. Such a design of the drainage system allows the tire to demonstrate exceptional resistance to aquaplaning.
Aggressive V-shaped design
The above-mentioned drainage grooves divide the tread pattern into five longitudinal ribs, four of which consist of numerous individual blocks. It is these elements that form a large number of contact edges during movement. At the same time, a significant part of them is located transversely, which provides the Austone SP7 tire with excellent efficiency during acceleration and braking, especially on wet roads.
Double longitudinal rib in the center
This model is favorably distinguished by high stability and reliable handling when driving at high speeds. This ability is achieved due to the double longitudinal rib located in the very center of the tread. It is characterized by excellent deformation resistance, which gives the tire stable and reliable behavior, as well as increases the accuracy and speed of the driver's commands.
Main features of the Austone SP7 tire
- the tire is created specifically for powerful sedans and coupes;
- a unique V-shaped directional design of the symmetrical tread pattern provides excellent stability in turns and resistance to aquaplaning;
- a very wide double central rib improves the accuracy and speed of reactions to steering wheel turns;
- the 5-step arrangement of the tread blocks effectively reduces resonance noise and vibrations, providing a high level of acoustic comfort;
- four longitudinal drainage grooves ensure rapid water removal from the contact patch, allowing the tire to demonstrate excellent traction on wet roads.
