In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Falken) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Italy (
Pirelli). Generally,
Pirelli winter tyres are slightly better rated (71%) than
Falken (58%). The first tyre test of Falken EuroWinter HS01 was done in 2017, compared to 2022 when was the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2022 215/55 R17 test, where both the
EuroWinter HS01 and the
Cinturato Winter 2 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 (100%) of the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 also have B wet ratings. We also know where
EuroWinter HS01 is made - Turkey.
