Falken EuroWinter HS02 Pro

Winter
Upper-middle
6.6 /10 Conditionally recommended

EuroWinter HS02 is very good and quite sporty on dry and wet, but lacks some performance on the snow which is the reason for the not so good test results. Weaknesses in aquaplaning and rolling resistance doesn't help either.

Excellent handling and short braking distances on both wet and dry roads, with very good aquaplaning resistance.

Stable and dynamic driving behavior in dry and wet conditions, providing a safe and comfortable ride.

Very quiet and comfortable rolling performance, offering a pleasant driving experience.

Weaknesses

Limited grip, weak lateral support, and understeering behavior on snow; not suitable for demanding winter conditions.

Lower aquaplaning safety and wet braking reserves under extreme conditions compared to top competitors.

High rolling resistance, which may negatively affect fuel efficiency.

Average tread life; durability is not a standout feature.
