What solutions have the Japanese brand's designers applied to the Falken Eurowinter HS02?

• The double sipe system ensures balanced tyre performance across a range of winter season conditions. Miura-Ori's central 3D notches increase grip on snowy and wet surfaces, while interlocking sipes on the shoulders optimise tread stiffness.

  
  

• The 4D-Nano Design rubber compound technology assists the tyre when driving in the wet and further extends the tyre wear lifespan.

  
  

• Stepped tread block edge chamfer improves the tyre's traction during acceleration and braking on typical winter surfaces.

  
  

• Compared to the predecessor model, it has been possible to significantly reduce the weight of the tyre -by as much as 9%, which has a positive effect on rolling resistance.

Falken is a Japanese brand, stemming from the Sumitomo family - which is one of the largest manufacturing groups in the tyre industry. Falken was founded to provide drivers with everyday tyres with a sporty flair. The manufacturer is classified in the medium segment, characterised by the best price/quality ratio.
