Falken Eurowinter HS02



Description

The Falken Eurowinter HS02 is a next-generation performance winter tire tailored for passenger cars. With an emphasis on efficiency, safety, and durability, this tire is engineered to excel in winter's most challenging driving conditions. A successor to the highly regarded Falken Eurowinter HS01, the HS02 is packed with innovative features and state-of-the-art technologies.

Features & Benefits

  • Reduced Weight: The tire boasts up to a 9% weight reduction compared to its predecessor, leading to better rolling resistance and more efficient fuel consumption.
  • Symmetrical V Pattern: Specifically designed to increase water drainage up to 78 l/s (tested size: 205/55R16), thereby substantially improving resistance to aquaplaning.
  • Enhanced Traction: Miura-Ori 3D sipes are engineered for safer braking and better traction on snow-covered roads. Additional interlocking 3D sipes in the shoulder area further improve block stiffness and overall driving stability.
  • Step Down 3D Chamfer: The 3D-chamfered block edges feature a step-down design that enhances snow capture and retention, optimizing traction for both acceleration and braking on winter roads.

Technologies

  • 4D-Nano Design Technology: Utilized to improve the tire's wet grip and to optimize fuel efficiency. This technology also enhances the tire’s lifespan.
  • Miura-Ori 3D Sipes: Specialized sipes in the center of the tread for efficient snow capture and enhanced pattern stiffness.
  • Hybrid Sipe Design: Combines Miura-Ori 3D sipes in the center and interlocking 3D sipes in the shoulder area for optimized performance on snow, wet, and dry roads.
  • Lightweight Construction: This design feature significantly reduces the tire’s weight, which in turn conserves resources and improves rolling resistance.
