Benefits

* Help improve tread flexibility and adhesion while simultaneously reducing polymer heat generation* Interlock the shoulder blocks to resist wear commonly associated with crossovers* Polygonal-shaped inside grooves that provide more edges to increase wet and snow traction combined with a high-rigidity outside shoulder rib that delivers the handling and stability necessary for CUV's* Resist hydroplaning by quickly evacuating water through the tread pattern providing secure contact with the road in heavy rain* Delivers superior wear life and wet performance over a wide range of operating temperatures

Understanding the 255/55R18 XL size

In the size code 255/55R18, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 140.3 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 29".

The load index 109 means each tire supports up to 2,271 lbs — about 9,084 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Falken Ziex CT60 A/S is built for

The Falken Ziex CT60 A/S is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. Fitment category: Passenger Car, SUV/CUV, Performance, HP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 680 A A. The treadwear grade of 680 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $167.25 per tire, a full set of four costs $669.00. That is about 12% below the average price of the 83 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $10.29 per 1,000 miles across the set.
