Performance Analysis

Falken EUROALL SEASON AS200 - Official Image

The Falken EUROALL SEASON AS200 delivers mid-pack overall performance across eight tests, with occasional highs early in its lifecycle and weaker showings in later, more demanding benchmarks. It shows competent wet handling/braking and good subjective comfort/noise in some tests, but is consistently held back by long dry and snow braking distances and poor rolling resistance, which depress efficiency and safety margins. Awards and positions range from 2nd/9 (2013) and 3rd/6 (2015 SUV) to several lower mid-field finishes, yielding an average overall rank of 5.4.
Overall, the tyre suits mixed conditions where wet grip and balanced handling are valued over absolute stopping power or efficiency. However, recurring deficits in dry and snow braking plus aquaplaning and RR results limit its competitiveness against newer all-season designs.

Performance Strengths

Wet Weather Performance Moderate Details
• 2017 AZ: 5/11 wet braking (+9.2% from best), 4/11 wet handling (+3%)
• 2017 AB: 6/10 wet braking (+5.6%), 6/10 wet handling (+3.6%)
Comfort/Noise Moderate Details
• 2017 AZ: 1/11 noise (71 dB) best-in-test
• Multiple mid-pack finishes despite braking deficits indicate acceptable refinement
Overall Competitiveness (Early Tests/SUV) Moderate Details
• 2013 AB: 2/9 overall; "best overall braking distances" mention for all-season cohort
• 2015 AB SUV: 3/6 overall
Dry Handling Balance Minor Details
• 2017 AB: 3/10 dry handling (+0.6% from best)
• 2017 AZ: 6/11 dry handling (+1.2% from best)

Performance Weaknesses

Dry Braking Strong Details
• 2017 AZ: 9/11 dry braking (+17.8% from best)
• 2017 AB: 9/10 dry braking (+9.6% from best)
• 2018 AE: article note implies it was beaten in dry braking by rivals
Snow Performance (Braking/Handling) Strong Details
• 2017 AZ: 10/11 snow braking (+11.8%), 8/11 snow handling (+6.4%)
• 2017 AB: 8/10 snow braking (+22.7%), 8/10 snow handling (+4.3%)
Rolling Resistance / Efficiency Strong Details
• 2017 AZ: 10/11 RR (+24.1% from best)
• 2017 AB: 9/10 RR (+45% from best)
Aquaplaning Resistance Moderate Details
• 2017 AZ: 8/11 straight aquaplaning (+10.9% from best)
• Wet categories otherwise mid-pack indicate aquaplaning is a relative weak spot
