satisfactory
Ranked #7 of 7
In a competitive winter automotorsport event, the Falken EuroWinter HS02 Pro found itself in a challenging position, securing the 7th spot out of 7 contenders. This outcome earned the tire a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' Testers acknowledged its strengths, noting good grip and a largely safe, understeering-neutral driving dynamic in wet conditions. It also proved to be very active and quick in dry corners, with very good shock absorption qualities. However, concerns were raised regarding its sensitivity to load changes on snow and its inadequate performance reserves, which are critical for a winter tire. Furthermore, the tire demonstrated a narrow limit in wet conditions, low protection against aquaplaning, sluggish steering response, and an unstable rear in fast corners. These shortcomings, particularly its weak performance on snow, led to the tire being marked down a grade. Despite its efforts, the Falken EuroWinter HS02 Pro could not secure top marks in any tested discipline, showcasing the importance of balanced performance across all winter driving conditions.
