Ranked #9 of 9
In its evaluation, the Falken EuroWinter HS02 Pro displayed a performance that placed it in a challenging position among its competitors. Despite this, the tire showed commendable attributes, specifically excelling in dry braking, snow cornering, and snow handling, showcasing its capabilities in critical winter conditions. However, it faced criticism for its relatively low grip level on snow, leading to a perception of sluggish snow handling. On wet surfaces, it exhibited neutral to understeering behavior, coupled with a deficient aquaplaning resistance in wet curves, which limited its handling reserves. Moreover, the tire was noted for its high rolling resistance. While it managed to secure good wet traction, the overall feedback underlined the need for improvement in several areas to enhance its competitiveness in adverse weather conditions.
