With higher silica content, Falken\u2019s engineers have created a cold weather tyre that offers improved wet weather braking and using the latest polymers enhances stability by 13 percent compared to its previous winter tyre. Other safety related features such as a three dimensional zigzag lamellar structure are designed to increase grip on snow and ice. \u201cWith factory-fitted tyres, the safety aspect is always a primary factor, especially for winter tyres. We are very pleased to have scored well in that respect,\u201d adds B\u00f6gner. Crucial for premium cars such as the Polo, five-phase shifted tread bars lower the tyre noise typically associated with winter tyres.<\/p>\n<p>A standard version of Falken\u2019s HS449 cold weather tyre is available in a range of 57 sizes from approved Falken dealers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen has selected Falken to supply a derivative of its new Euorwinter HS449 winter tyre for the Polo.
