In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Holland (
Vredestein) against a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Falken). Generally,
Vredestein winter tyres are slightly better rated (59%) than
Falken (58%). In this particular case, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ has a better rating of 67% compared to 65% of the Falken EuroWinter HS02. The first tyre test of Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ was done in 2025, compared to 2023 when was the Falken EuroWinter HS02 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
AutoMotorSport 2025 215/55 R17 test, where both the
Wintrac Pro+ and the
EuroWinter HS02 were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
Wintrac Pro+ is made in Netherlands/Hungary and
EuroWinter HS02 is made in Turkey.
