Falken winter tyre approved for European Polo models

At June’s Reifen trade show in Germany, Falken Tyre Europe shared that Volkswagen had selected its Sincera SN831A in size 165/70R14 81T for its new compact model, the ‘Up!’. The car maker has now selected another Falken product as original equipment, this time for the Polo; in certain European markets the Eurowinter HS449 winter tyre will be fitted to the Polo in size 185/60 R15 85H.

“The Polo is a successful model around the world,” commented Markus Bögner, sales director at Falken Tyre Europe. “Long ago it developed from being a simple small car to a compact class alternative. Our development team tailored the HS449 for the current Polo in the record timeframe of nine months, and in doing so convinced Volkswagen.”
