A good fit if you

Think twice if you need

225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS All Season
XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 96 means each tire can carry up to 710 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating W is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 270 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- UTQG 540 A A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
- All Season tires handle mild year-round conditions well, but they’re not winter tires. In Quebec, a standard all-season doesn’t satisfy the mandatory winter tire requirement unless it specifically carries the 3PMS symbol.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
- Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
Where this tire fits in

About the 225/45R19 tire size

- R19 — radial construction, for a 19-inch wheel
The 225/45R19 size is commonly found on sport sedans, coupes, and luxury vehicles. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.
What stands out — Falken Ziex ZE960 AS 225/45R19
- XL (Extra Load) rated — handles higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load equivalent.
- UTQG 540 A A — manufacturer-assigned treadwear, traction, and temperature grades. Useful for comparing within the same brand, but not a mileage guarantee.
- Service description 96W: load index 96 means each tire carries up to 710 kg, speed rating W is rated to 270 km/h.
- 225/45R19 mounts on a 19-inch wheel.
Quebec winter tire mandate — all-season note
Quebec mandates winter tires from December 1 to March 15. The 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS is an all season tire — and without the 3PMS symbol, a standard all-season does not satisfy Quebec’s mandatory winter tire rule. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, a dedicated winter or all-weather tire is the right call. requirement unless they carry the 3PMS symbol. Consider a dedicated winter or all weather tire for Quebec driving.

Common questions — 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS All Season
What does the 225/45R19 tire size mean?
Break it down and 225/45R19 tells you three things: the tread is 225 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 45% of that — about 101 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 19-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on sport sedans, coupes, and luxury vehicles.
Is the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS an All Season tire?
Yes — the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS is categorized as an All Season tire. Standard all-season tires handle mild year-round conditions but don’t meet Quebec’s mandatory winter tire requirement on their own. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, look at a dedicated winter or all-weather tire that carries the 3PMS symbol.
What does the 96W rating mean on the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS?
The 96W on the Falken Ziex ZE960 AS breaks into two numbers: load index 96, meaning each tire carries up to 710 kg, rated to approximately 270 km/h; and speed rating W, rated to 270 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS 3PMS rated?
No — the Falken Ziex ZE960 AS doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.
Is the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS studdable?
Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.
Does the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS support run flat driving?
No — the Falken Ziex ZE960 AS is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.
Is the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS an XL (extra load) tire?
Yes — the Falken Ziex ZE960 AS is XL rated. It’s designed for higher inflation pressures and greater load capacity than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your current tires are XL, your replacement should be too.
What does speed rating W mean on the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS?
Speed rating W on the Falken Ziex ZE960 AS corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 270 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.
Can I order the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS with delivery to Ontario or Quebec?
Yes — we ship the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).
Why buy the 225/45R19 Falken Ziex ZE960 AS from XYZTires if another tire looks cheaper?
A lower sticker price is worth comparing, but the full picture includes shipping cost, delivery timeline, whether it’s actually in stock, and whether the tire category is right for how you drive. We focus on making those details clear upfront — so you can compare real delivered value, not just the first number you see.
