Falken 28314811 Espia EPZ II SUV 245/60R18 105T Winter SUV Tire

The Falken Espia EPZ II SUV 245/60R18 (Part# 28314811) is a dedicated winter tire engineered for SUVs and crossovers that demand confident performance in snow, ice, and wet winter conditions. Built on a foundation of advanced tread technology and a winter-optimized compound, the Espia EPZ II SUV delivers a strong blend of cold-weather traction, braking capability, and reliable handling.

Key Features:

• 3D Canyon Sipe Technology: Enhanced sipe design increases sipe density, generating more biting edges per tread block to improve ice braking and traction on snow and wet surfaces
• Directional Tread Design: Optimized for efficient water and slush evacuation, channeling material away from the contact patch for consistent road connection
• Wide Circumferential Grooves: Quickly disperse water to improve hydroplaning resistance and maintain wet-weather confidence
• Wide Lateral Grooves with Deep Shoulder Pockets: Allow snow to pack into the tread, clearing the road surface faster for improved traction in slushy or deep snow
• High-Density Sipes: Maximize the number of flexible biting edges across the tread surface for enhanced grip on ice and packed snow
• Stability Bars: Keep tread blocks rigid during cornering for predictable, confident handling
• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) Certified: Meets industry standards for severe snow traction performance
• Road Hazard Protection Warranty: Backed by Falken's Road Hazard Guarantee covering the first 3/32nds of tread life or 2 years from date of purchase
