The Falken Winterpeak F-Snow 1 has a short ice braking distance and a rapid steering response — sometimes even too abrupt, which compromises handling performance. On wet pavement, the Falken behaves in a stable way, but during an emergency maneuver the front wheels may go into a skid. On wet pavement, the Falken tire behaves in a stable way, but during an emergency maneuver the front wheels may go into a skid. On dry pavement, the tire has a sluggish steering response and has a less-than-perfect grip on the rear axle. The Falken model ensures good acoustic comfort but the rolling resistance could be lower.

Short braking distance, strong traction, and good handling response on ice. Short braking distance on dry pavement.

Good grip and high level of driving safety on snow and ice. Low noise emission. Insufficient stability and poor handling response on tarmac. High rolling resistance. Good.
