The Falken Espia EPZ II SUV is a directional winter SUV tire with wide lateral groves that work together with the deep pockets to pack the snow into the tread and increase traction. The high density sipes allows water and snow to move away from the tread surface creating biting edges for continuous road connection. The Falken Espia EPZ II has stability bars to keep the tread blocks stable while cornering. The 3D canyon sipe technology increases ice braking and enhances the handing while on snow, wet and dry roads.
