Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO?
On the EU tyre label, the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO has wet grip class B to C, depending on the size. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO 235/60 R18 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 46 metres (Audi Q5 III (2024+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on wet grip class B on the EU tyre label.
Is the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO suitable for an Estonian winter?
Better suited to milder winters. The Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO is a Central European winter tyre made for wet and slushy roads. On ice and snow it needs a longer braking distance than a Nordic friction or studded tyre.
Has the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO been independently tested?
Yes. Source: Auto Bild 2025. The Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO stopped on wet asphalt from 80 km/h in 35.8 m, ranking 15 of 51 tyres.
What sizes is the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Falken Eurowinter HS02PRO in 103 sizes, for example 225/40 R18, 225/40 R19, 225/45 R17, 225/45 R18, 225/45 R19 and 225/50 R17. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the Audi A6 C9 (2025+), BMW iX3 NA5 (2025+) and BYD Seal 6 (2025+).
