Falken EUROWINTER HS449 tyres

The Falken Eurowinter HS449 is a premium winter tyre offering outstanding levels of safety in any weather. High speeds on snow, sudden stops on ice or quick cornering on wet roads - all these eventualities and more must be catered for if the tyre is to impress the sports-minded drivers that form a large part of its clientele. While the HS449 is primarily geared towards such drivers, its availability in sizes from 13 to 20 inches makes it a suitable candidate for compact cars and other vehicle classes, too.

Outstanding performance on wet roads

The Falken Eurowinter HS449's innovative silica rubber compound ensures good vehicle handling on ice and snow. In ADAC tests in 2012, the tyre's thick, deep grooves manoeuvred it into first place on icy streets - no other candidates could match its top score. As corroborated by a number of reputable specialist publications, the tyre also put in a good performance in wet conditions, where it maintained short braking distances. Testers have also praised its favourable price - why not take advantage of it today in the mytyres online shop?

The asymmetrical profile of the winter tyre doesn't just allow it to evacuate water effectively on wet roads and prevent aquaplaning. Its sipes bite into snow to give excellent traction, while the arrangement of the tread grooves affords the tyre good stability. The shoulder regions are designed to easily and safely withstand lateral forces during cornering.

Even wear increases the tyre's lifespan

The Falken Eurowinter HS449 features wear indicators to keep the driver informed of its condition - though you might not need to use them for a while, since ADAC tests have established the tyre's favourable credentials in this regard, too. The heat-resistant rubber compound and tyre design ensure it wears evenly, while rolling noise is limited for an enhanced level of driving comfort. Overall, the HS449 is a well-balanced winter tyre with an excellent price-performance ratio. A wide range of size options makes it compatible with a variety of vehicle models.
