Espia EPZ II

Driving through ice and snow can be a nerve-racking experience. However, finding a tire that can consistently perform in winter weather makes life easier for the drivers. Take a look at the Falken Espia EPZ II, a winter tire that offers consistent traction on winter roads thanks to the wide grooves within the treads that channel water away from the tire for increased traction on slippery roads. Additionally, the tire's grooves allow more snow to be packed into the tread for enhanced snow traction. The Espia EPZ II is a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified tire that is ideal for use in moderate to severe winter weather conditions, making it a solid choice for vehicles such as the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Fusion, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Soul, Nissan Altima, Toyota Corolla, and Volkswagen Passat.
