Product description & features
The Eurowinter HS01 SUV is a winter tyre designed to deliver an exceptional overall performance for SUV vehicles.
With an ‘Adaptive Constant Pressure’ tread design, the Eurowinter HS01 SUV covers a greater area of the road to increase grip, improve even wear and improve directional stability. To improve braking and handling performance when cornering, Falken designed the Eurowinter HS01 SUV with a circular profile with a flexible sidewall – providing further confidence to drivers.
Awarded with the Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake Badge, the Falken Eurowinter HS01 SUV is suitable for difficult winter conditions – giving extra confidence to drivers.
What are winter tyres?
Winter tyres have been developed to perform best during the colder winter months - when the outside temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius.
How can I tell a winter tyre is suitable for winter weather?
The tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
How does a winter tyre perform better in winter?
The compound of a winter tyre contains a higher natural rubber content - helping the tyre to remain flexible in freezing weather and conform to the road surface.
The grooves of winter tyres are typically wider to channel snow and water. The latest generation also have smaller shoulder grooves to improve snow and ice traction.
Can I use winter tyres all year round?
Although winter tyres can be used in other conditions, their performance will not be as efficient as they have been optimised to perform in temperatures under 7°C.
There is also a risk of a winter tyre’s wear rates increasing when drive on in warm temperatures, due to the high silica and natural rubber compound.
We recommend that winter tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
