* Provides enhanced hydroplaning resistance and wet weather traction throughout the life of the tire* Enhances snow traction without disrupting a smooth ride* Enhances the dynamic capability for high performance applications* Allows the rubber to remain pliable at low temperatures, increasing grip in wet, snow and icy conditions* During dry conditions, as the rubber warms up, chemical bonds remain strong to deliver in the heat

Understanding the 235/45R18 size

In the size code 235/45R18, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 105.8 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.3".

The load index 94 means each tire supports up to 1,477 lbs — about 5,908 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 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 ZE960 A/S is built for

The Falken Ziex ZE960 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, CAR, Performance, HP.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 540 A A. The treadwear grade of 540 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 $127.50 per tire, a full set of four costs $510.00. That is about 21% below the average price of the 155 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $11.33 per 1,000 miles across the set.
