Falken Winterpeak F-ICE1 235/45R18, Winter, Touring tires.

Falken Winterpeak F-ICE1FEATURES AND BENEFITS Winter weather traction; Hydroplaning resistance; Enhanced controllability; OVERVIEWThe Falken Winterpeak F-ICE1 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire guarantees exceptional winter weather performance. It combines the detailed directional tread design and stronger winter compound to provide the tire's grip on the road. The 3D Canyon sipes create a higher number of biting edges, which optimize the ice- and snow-covered road performance. The 4D Nano Design Compound keeps the tire pliable even in freezing temperatures, ensuring its severe winter application. Utilizing the directional tread design has also guaranteed the tire's safer wet traction. The interconnecting and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint. This ensures the surface contact and combats hydroplaning in wet conditions. Additionally, the tread area is pinned for studs. They can be added to greatly enhance the ice and snow traction, offering a secure harsh weather performance. The Winterpeak F-ICE1 improves the controllability. The stabilized directional pattern ensures the tire's surface contact at all times, upgrading the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, this combination ensures the driver's better control over the vehicle at all times. The detailed sipe pattern across the footprint generates friction during braking. As a result, the model's stopping distance is greatly shortened even on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
