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
