Falken 28402960 Espia EPZ II Winter SUV Tire 235/60R17 102R

The Falken Espia EPZ II SUV is a studless winter performance tire engineered specifically for SUVs and crossovers operating in harsh winter conditions. Designed to deliver confident traction on ice, snow, and wet winter roads, this tire combines advanced rubber compounds with an aggressive directional tread pattern optimized for cold-weather performance.

Key Features:

• Tread surface etching creates slip-resistant contact patches for exceptional ice traction and shorter braking distances on frozen surfaces
• High-density siping network efficiently evacuates water and slush from the contact patch while providing additional biting edges for snow grip
• Directional tread design with wide circumferential grooves channels water away quickly to maintain road contact and resist hydroplaning on wet winter roads
• Wide lateral grooves paired with deep shoulder pockets allow snow to pack into the tread, using snow-on-snow traction for improved grip in deep snow and slushy conditions
• Winter-specific rubber compound maintains flexibility in freezing temperatures for consistent performance throughout the season

The 235/60R17 size with 102R service rating provides a maximum load capacity of 1,874 pounds per tire at proper inflation, making it suitable for mid-size to full-size SUVs. This tire offers excellent winter traction without the noise and road damage associated with studded tires.
