Falken 28408092 Espia EPZ II SUV 235/65R17 108R XL Winter Studless Tire

The Falken Espia EPZ II SUV is a directional winter studless tire engineered specifically for SUVs and crossovers that demand confident traction in snow, ice, slush, and wet winter conditions. Built around advanced tread technologies, this tire delivers exceptional cold-weather grip without the need for metal studs.

Key Features:

• 3D Canyon Sipe Technology — increases sipe density for superior braking on ice and enhanced traction on wet and snowy roads
• Directional Tread Design — wide lateral grooves work with deep shoulder pockets to pack snow into the tread, rapidly clearing the road surface for improved snow traction in slushy or deep-snow conditions
• High-Density Sipes — move water and snow away from the tread surface, creating biting edges for continuous road contact and improved steering responsiveness
• Wide Circumferential Grooves — channel water away from the tread for consistent contact with the road, increasing wet traction and reducing hydroplaning risk
• Tread Surface Etching — provides slip-resistant contact patches for excellent ice traction and braking performance
• Stability Bars — keep tread blocks stable during cornering for confident, predictable handling
• Extra Load (XL) Rating — rated at 108R, supporting up to 2,205 lbs per tire at proper inflation
• Road Hazard Protection Warranty — Falken covers road hazard damage for the first 3/32nds of tread life or 2 years from purchase, whichever comes first

The Espia EPZ II SUV is a studless winter tire — it should not be used when ambient temperatures are consistently above 45°F. Featuring a black sidewall (BSW) finish and XL load rating, this tire is sized at 235/65R17 and is ideal for drivers seeking maximum winter safety and control.
