Drawn from 8 tests. Updated December 1, 2025.
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 tire 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.
