Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S All‑Season Tire
Meet the Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S, an everyday performance all-season tire that blends confident handling, wet road security, and a quiet, comfortable ride. Its all-season compound stays pliable in cooler weather, while dense siping and four wide circumferential grooves move water away to help resist hydroplaning. Reinforced shoulder blocks support crisp steering response for highway merges and quick lane changes. If you want a balanced tire that covers commuting, weekend drives, and rainy day stability, the ZE960 A/S delivers dependable traction and value.
Key Features & Benefits
The Ziex ZE960 A/S focuses on real world performance. An all-season rubber blend promotes year round traction, and the asymmetric tread design balances dry stability with wet and light snow grip. Wide circumferential channels and angled lateral grooves evacuate water to help resist hydroplaning in heavy rain. Rigid outer shoulder blocks aid cornering stability and steering precision, and closely spaced center ribs enhance straight line tracking and braking. Optimized pitch sequencing helps reduce pattern noise so your cabin stays calm mile after mile.
Tread Design & All‑Season Performance
On dry pavement, the ZE960 A/S feels composed, with solid on center feel and predictable response during quick maneuvers. In rain, its wide grooves and dense siping clear standing water, which supports confident braking and stability in storms. In light snow and slush, the siped tread blocks add biting edges to get you moving and help with controlled stops. Always drive to conditions, and consider dedicated winter tires if you often see deep snow or ice. Day to day, road noise stays well managed, and the ride remains compliant for commuting and longer highway trips.
Sizes, Fitment & Speed Ratings
The Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S comes in a wide range of popular passenger car fitments, including 205/55R16, 225/45R17, 225/40R18, 245/45R18, and 235/40R19. Multiple load and speed options are available by size, so choose a Ziex ZE960 A/S speed rating that meets or exceeds your vehicle's original equipment spec. For best results, match the size, load index, and speed symbol on your driver side door jamb label. If you have changed wheels, confirm rim width and offset compatibility before ordering to ensure proper fit and even wear.
Price & Value
Looking for strong all-season performance without a premium price tag? The ZE960 A/S delivers everyday confidence, wet weather grip, and a comfortable ride at a compelling cost. Actual Ziex ZE960 A/S price varies by size and speed rating, with 16 inch fitments typically costing less than larger 18 to 19 inch options.

Warranty & Support
The Ziex ZE960 A/S includes a manufacturer's limited warranty. Specific coverage, including treadwear terms, depends on the exact size and speed rating. Keep your proof of purchase, rotate at recommended intervals, and maintain proper inflation to stay within coverage guidelines. Some retailers offer road hazard protection or a trial period, so check the details at checkout. For the most accurate terms, refer to the official warranty booklet and your order confirmation. Proper alignment and timely rotations are essential for even wear and full warranty eligibility.
How It Compares
Drivers moving from the ZE950 A/S to the ZE960 A/S can expect refinements in wet handling, braking feel, and ride quietness. The updated tread pattern uses revised block geometry and higher siping density to improve water evacuation and stability on slick surfaces, while keeping the responsive character people liked in the prior model. As with any tire change, compare sizes and speed ratings carefully, and make sure your choice matches your vehicle's OE specifications.
