Patented "Miura-Ori" 3D Sipe Technology: Engineered for maximum stability, this innovative sipe technology enhances grip and shortens braking distances on snow and ice, ensuring your drive remains safe and controlled.
4D Nano Designed Compound: This advanced compound reduces rolling resistance and improves energy efficiency, thanks to Falken's pioneering research and simulation at the nano-level.
Micro-Optimised Stiffer Tread Blocks: Delivers outstanding traction and braking performance on snowy and icy roads, while maintaining excellent directional stability.
Innovative Tread Design: Flow-optimized tread grooves boost the ‘water pump effect,’ effectively dispersing water and reducing the risk of hydroplaning. This design also ensures first-class traction on snow.
Made for Winter Road Conditions:
Crafted with high-quality materials and designed to withstand the harsh demands of the cold season, the Falken Eurowinter HS01 RFT features:
Flexible Sipe Structure: Offers significant improvements in traction and a more uniform wear pattern, optimizing stability even in curves.
Out-of-Phase Tread Bars: These specially designed tread bars not only reduce road noise for a quieter ride but also enhance handling and comfort.
Runflat Technology:
Equipped with reinforced sidewalls, these runflat tyres can continue to be driven for at least a further 80 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h even after a puncture. This 'limp-home' mode ensures that you are never stranded, combining safety with convenience. Note that these tyres should be used with a tyre pressure monitoring system to ensure optimal safety and performance.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
