ADAC test results were slightly more favourable for both tyres - the SF2 from Pirelli secured 2nd place, while the AS210 from Falken was at 7th.

Both tyres stood out in other tests for certain features - Tyre Reviews noted the SF2's strong performance in terms of Rolling resistance, while the AS210 excelled in Exterior noise. Ranking-wise, in the intense competition of the Autobild test, featuring 32 tyres, the SF2 landed at 14th, but the AS210 managed to secure a remarkable 5th position. Another test by Gute-Fahrt positioned SF2 at 4th and AS210 at 6th.

Both tyres had their strengths and weaknesses detailed in various tests. The SF2 was praised for its secure handling characteristics on dry and wet surfaces but criticised for limited snow and wet grip and higher tyre weight. On the other hand, the AS210 received accolades for its safety on wet surfaces and low fuel consumption, but it was noted for slight weaknesses on dry and winter surfaces and predicted tyre life.

In summary, if your priority is safety on wet and dry surfaces and high fuel efficiency, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 is a reliable choice, although it was replaced by SF3. The Falken EuroALL Season AS210 is a great contender if you value lower noise levels and stronger performance on winter surfaces. However, it should be noted, as per test results, the AS210 overall outperforms the SF2 in more mutual tests.
