215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance
Category: All Season – High Performance
The Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S is an all-season high performance tire that delivers performance and handling in all conditions. Enhanced hydroplaning resistance and wet road grip are provided for the life of the tire using Flask Siping, while Canyon Groove technology enhances snow traction. The Ziex ZE960 A/S has optimized tread pattern rigidity and exclusive silica based tread compound to stay pliable in winter weather while stiff enough in warm temperatures to give high performance year round. It also has a 105,000km tread life warranty for H and V rated sizes or 70,000km for W rated sizes.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 94 means each tire can carry up to 670 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Common questions — 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance All Season
What does the 215/55R17 tire size mean?
Break it down and 215/55R17 tells you three things: the tread is 215 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 55% of that — about 118 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 17-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on mid size sedans and crossovers.
Is the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance an All Season tire?
Yes — the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance 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 94V rating mean on the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance?
The 94V on the Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance breaks into two numbers: load index 94, meaning each tire carries up to 670 kg, rated to approximately 240 km/h; and speed rating V, rated to 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance 3PMS rated?
No — the Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance 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 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance studdable?
Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.
Does the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance support run flat driving?
No — the Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance 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 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance an XL (extra load) tire?
No — the Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance is a standard load tire, not XL. Check your vehicle door placard or current tires to confirm what’s required before ordering.
What does speed rating V mean on the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance?
Speed rating V on the Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 240 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 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance with delivery to Ontario or Quebec?
Yes — we ship the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).
Why buy the 215/55R17 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S – All Season M+S Performance from XYZTires if another tire looks cheaper?
