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.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 97 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 730 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.

- UTQG 540 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
- All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
- Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
