Falken EUROALL SEASON AS210

Replaces the EUROALL SEASON AS200

A well-judged, mid-range touring all-season that feels particularly confident in the wet and secure in the dry, with strong wear and value. The trade-off is efficiency and refinement: rolling resistance and noise are frequent grumbles, and it's not the sharpest option in deeper winter conditions.

Falken EUROALL SEASON AS210 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 28 reviews

With an average owner score of 75.5% (24 positive vs 3 negative), most owners find the Falken EUROALL SEASON AS210 delivers confident, dependable grip, especially in the dry and in the wet. Comfort and wear rates are also frequently praised, with several reporting slow wear over higher mileages and a generally compliant ride. The main downsides are mixed views on road noise (split almost evenly) and, for around one in five owners, noticeably higher rolling resistance impacting fuel economy; a smaller group also mention slightly vague steering feel, particularly in warmer conditions.

These tires do hold the road very well and have performed pretty good in all weathers and after 16,000 miles are still on 5mm, but they are very noisy and have a high rolling resistance which is very noticeable on my Skoda citigo, I have no doubt they would be ok on a much larger more powerful car, my next set of tires would not be All season tires.

    These tires do give a very comfortable ride, amazing grip in both the wet and dry, but they really are very noisy and have a very high rolling resistance, I would not recommend them for a low powered small car, and I would not buy them again.

    Impressive grip levels in wet and dry conditions. I live in the hills, where Winters can be very testing, so these tires are not only cheaper but also quality-designed, proving to be trustworthy in performance and feedback. Yes, my BMW behaves very well with them.

Initial Impressions
Exactly as the video review stated sporty but spongy. Driving on a hot dry sunny UK day at 22 degrees C. Compared to the Continental contact tires I drove to the fitting. The new Faulken AS tires feel like they drag and don’t feel very responsive to handling. Very much like memory foam insoles and trainers, compared to a good running shoe. I think I’d rather feel the road beneath my wheels thanks!

Bought 4 x Falken AS210 in September 2020. It's now April 2025, the tires have seen 50,000 miles of blacktop, been rotated twice per year and are now just under 3mm for all 4 tires.

These AS210s are a very decent tire for the type of car they would likely be fitted to, in this size at least. They cost me £61 each, which given their current mileage is really great value.

The sidewalls are quite high, so it's to be expected that they ride very comfortably. There's no tire roar from the aggressive tread pattern; quite the opposite - they're very quiet.

Grip in the wet and dry are equally confidence-inspiring. Despite pressing on in either of these weather conditions, I've not had any scary moments with loss of traction, understeer or oversteer. Just neutral handling whether driving on my own or with 5 people in the car.

These tires have seen plenty of snow. Never been in anything deeper than 6 inches. Never got stuck, either. Always a good amount of traction on offer in fresh snow whether starting or stopping.

Having said that, they do struggle to bite into polished/compacted snow. In these conditions it can make you yearn for a full winter tire.

So, the Falken AS210 is a tire I am way more impressed with than I expected to be. They've lasted a long time, been a fun tire to throw into corners on fast A&B roads or round roundabouts and have never failed to get me home in the hills of Lancashire when the roads have been covered in snow.

I thoroughly recommend them, especially if you need a tire to last a long time and be very good in all the weather conditions you'd see in the UK.

Compared to the previous Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2, they are a small step back. Wet grip and wet grip are where the weaknesses are noticeable.
The snow grip is also lower but constant and predictable so just fine for normal driving. Aquaplaning resistance is high, even with snow slush on motorway they're secure and safe. In term of noise they are comparable to winter tires. Mainly used on the highway, wear is comparable to that of the Goodyear. All in all a good tire, cheaper than Goodyear and therefore with a little lower performances.

I have driven the Falken EUROALL SEASON AS210 tires around 7000 km so far in summer and autumn conditions (it's 22.10.2024 today) and I can say that I am completely satisfied with the choice I made when buying these tires.
I paid 380 EUR to have them mounted (4 x 205/55 R16) and for this price I believe that you will have a hard time finding better value for money.
I had Michelin Cross Climate 2 before these for 59.000 km (swapped the front ones with new ones once during those km) and overall I didn't find any noticeable difference between the Falkens and the Michelins.
Dry grip is almost the same, wet grip is just a little bit better for the Falkens and high speed stability on the German Autobahn favors the Falkens in both dry and wet driving conditions, but only with a small advantage.
I didn't realize any noise difference between the 2 sets even at 180 km/h on the German Autobahn but I didn't measure the decibels, to be honest.
I have noticed a slight wear "advantage" for the front tires because my car is FWD, but nothing special because I don't race anyone from the traffic lights.
Overall, I would say that you can't go wrong with these Falken all season tires.

Better in standing water than previous Michelin Cross Climates but slightly noisier and initially much worse fuel consumption. Fuel consumption has stabilised as they have worn in and road noise isn’t intrusive.
They are better at handling deep standing water on motorways and I haven’t regretted the purchase in the 16 months I have owned them. Not had a chance at snow driving yet. Ride feels quite firm on them but they handle A road driving well. Wear is heavier than the previous Michelins but at 30k the fronts still have just over 3mm left and the rears slightly more.

This is an initial review after 1000km / 650 miles. As my old Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 winter tires are past their life and my Michelin Primacy 4 summer tires have only one summer left in them, I have decided to take a chance with All-Season tires and these Falkens were my final selection after watching several Tire Reviews videos on Youtube.

+ I live in Lithuania where some winters get LOTS of snow, ice, and -20C temperatures and some winters are nothing more than a slightly colder Fall with minimal amounts of snow. This year (2022/2023 Winter), December was pretty brutal with heavy amounts of snow and ice, some of the worst conditions in the past 5 years. Fortunately, Falkens beat whatever nature threw at them. No problems driving through thick snow or pure ice, the car does not slide around and whenever I tried having some fun at the parking lots (purely for testing) the tires didn't let me do that, because whenever I tried to drift, at the very minimal sliding Falkens automatically "corrected" the car so I could describe this experience as driving on train tracks, safe and stable. In my 10 years of driving I have never had a better grip nor never did I feel as safe as I feel right now during winter.

+ In dry or wet conditions (October/November) tires feel as good, and they are very comfortable to drive (I do feel like they are better in comfort than Primacy 4, though are louder). The car drives smoothly like a cruise ship and remains super nimble when turning up the aggression.

- The weak point of these tires is fuel economy. If fuel economy is something you prioritize, I would recommend looking at other options. These tires have high rolling resistance so fuel consumption jumps quite a bit. In my experience, it jumped by 2-3 liters per 100km which is quite noticeable especially when you look at the dashboard. Worse than Hakkapeliitta R2 winters, and much worse than Primacy 4 summers.

In Lithuania, All-Season tires are still not recommended by the mass and are considered unsafe, especially in the brutal winter conditions we do get now and then, but these Falkens have their arguments as to why they are good. I've seen so many people driving with WINTER tires and struggling on pure ice or snow while my driving experience felt like driving an amphibious car.

Compared to Nokian Weatherproof tires it replaced it was a huge improvement in dry grip. The tires actually have more grip, than the construction can handle and the tires roll onto the sidewall under hard cornering, this is only an issue in the dry, but it is also the caused by 165/70 size, with extreme tall sidewall. But the breaking is super impressive, I drove it back to back in the wet with Michelin pilot Sport 2 tires on a Mercedes CLS 350 CDI and the little Daihatsu had a far superior braking performance, which surprised me. It is quiet until you start to push it, and is super comfortable.
