225/55R18 Falken Aklimate – 3PMS All Weather Touring Winter

Category: All Season – Grand Touring

The Falken Aklimate is an all-season grand touring tire designed to deliver a comfortable driving experience in any weather condition. Engineered with Falken's advanced technology, the Aklimate offers a perfect blend of comfort, durability, and year-round performance. Its innovative tread design ensures outstanding wet and dry traction, while the specialized all-season compound provides excellent grip in variable temperatures. Its grand touring capabilities make it for those who value a smooth, quiet ride combined with the agility and responsiveness necessary for both city driving and long-distance journeys. It also has a 105,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.

Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 98 means each tire can carry up to 750 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 640 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.
  • Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
  • 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
  • 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.
