Falken Eurowinter HS01 SUV. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Improved controllability; Comfortable driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Falken Eurowinter HS01 SUV is a performance, winter tire manufactured for SUVs.Great winter traction is provided with this tread design and the winter compound. The directional tread pattern easily follows the road surface in harsh winter conditions, while the winter compound keeps the rubber pliable in freezing temperatures. These elements boost performance on ice- and snow-covered roads. At the same time, wide grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint, in order to prevent hydroplaning. This combination enables the tire to safely perform in winter conditions.The model promotes excellent performance, thanks to the tread design's close road contact. In other words, this directional tread firmly grips the road with extra biting edges. This enables better steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against driving pressure. On the other hand, wide shoulder blocks utilize the sipping detail, which boosts the cornering ability. Also, these elements shorten the baking distance by creating friction.The Falken Eurowinter HS01 SUV offers a quiet and comfortable drive. The directional tread pattern and its close road contact reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. Also, the rubber compound absorbs the shock of driving, which minimizes vibrations felt by the passengers. As noise and vibrations do not ruin the passengers' enjoyment, it guarantees high driving comfort levels. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
