2025 ADAC All Season Tire Test P14 of 16

Translation and Summary The APlus AS909 is rated as "deficient" overall for driving safety, a score dictated by its significant weaknesses on wet roads which led to a downgrade of its final grade. On dry roads, its performance is merely "adequate," offering poor and imprecise steering feedback that requires constant driver correction and early oversteering in dynamic maneuvers. On wet surfaces, the tire reaches its limits, earning a "deficient" rating for its braking distance and handling due to very low grip, making it difficult to control. Its winter performance is deemed satisfactory overall, securing good scores for braking and traction but only an "adequate" rating for handling, as it struggles to combine forces effectively. In contrast, the Chinese-made tire achieves a good environmental score thanks to very good projected mileage and low fuel consumption. However, its sustainability is rated as just adequate because the manufacturer failed to provide requested ISO certifications or other sustainability credentials, and its weight is high.

Initial Impressions
Had them on the rear the whole time and they are already at the marker. I don't drive like a maniac either. Winter wasn't harsh, they did ok. Design and build quality looked solid.
