Understanding the 205/60R16 size

In the size code 205/60R16, 205 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.1"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 123 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.7".

The load index 92 means each tire supports up to 1,389 lbs — about 5,556 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 Aklimate is built for

The Falken Aklimate is an all-weather tire — a year-round option certified for severe snow service, so it can stay on the vehicle through winter. It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, Performance, Touring.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 640 B A. The treadwear grade of 640 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 B 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 $100.50 per tire, a full set of four costs $402.00. That sits close to the average for the 99 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $6.18 per 1,000 miles across the set.
