In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Falken) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Kumho winter tyres are slightly better rated (63%) than
Falken (58%). The first tyre test of Falken EuroWinter HS01 was done in 2017, compared to 2022 when was the Kumho WinterCraft WP52 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2022 215/55 R17 test, where both the
EuroWinter HS01 and the
WinterCraft WP52 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 75% of Falken EuroWinter HS01 dimensions has B wet grip rating. Most (95%) of the Kumho WinterCraft WP52 also have B wet ratings. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
EuroWinter HS01 is made in Turkey and
WinterCraft WP52 is made in Korea.
