Falken Eurowinter VAN01

EU tyre label for every size: 28 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Falken Eurowinter VAN01 is a winter tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 28 sizes (32 registrations including load and speed variants), for 14″ to 17″ rims.

Wet grip is rated A–B depending on size, fuel efficiency B–D and external rolling noise 70–73 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 215/65 R15C (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency C · 70 dB), the weakest 185/65 R15C (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).

On the EU market since June 2016; the earliest production week registered is 16/2016.
