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.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
