Falken 28317662 Espia EPZ II 215/55R16 97R XL Winter Passenger Tire

The Falken Espia EPZ II is a studless winter performance tire engineered to deliver confident traction in the harshest cold-weather conditions. Combining advanced tread design, a specialized winter compound, and proven construction technology, the Espia EPZ II is purpose-built for drivers who demand reliable winter grip and longer tread life.

The tire features a flexible winter rubber compound that remains pliable in low temperatures to maintain contact and grip on ice, snow, and wet surfaces. Its asymmetric tread pattern allows for free rotation while optimizing both winter traction and dry road handling.

Key Features:

• 3D Canyon Sipe Technology — high-density sipes enhance continuous traction and improve braking on ice, wet, and snowy surfaces
• Zigzag main groove design — provides resistance to hydroplaning while the tread notches create biting edges for snow and ice traction
• Wide lateral grooves and snow pockets — pack snow into the tread for improved snow-on-snow traction and road surface clearing
• Wide circumferential grooves — efficiently channel water away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk
• Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified — meets industry requirements for severe snow traction performance
• Asymmetric, non-directional tread pattern — allows flexible tire rotation for even wear
• XL (Extra Load) rating — provides increased load-carrying capacity over standard load tires
