Falken Eurowinter HS02 Pro
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.
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Below average aquaplaning resistance
- High rolling resistance/high fuel consumption
- Worse traction on snow
- Longer braking distance on snow
- Inferior handling on snow

Did you know ...?
235/35 R19 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 21 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/70 R13, 155/65 R13, 155/80 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 35 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 35% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 82.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R19, which means it fits to a 19 inch/482.6mm diameter wheel.
