Features and Benefits: All weather traction; Improved controllability; Upgraded driving durability; Falken Aklimate TiresThe Falken Aklimate is a touring, all weather tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes available. Falken offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. Excellent all weather traction is promoted with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern and the all weather compound increase the tire's dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. In this manner, the asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface at all times. This tread pattern manages to keep forward motion even on snowy and icy roads. On the other hand, the all weather compound keeps the rubber flexible even in freezing temperatures. Circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint on wet roads. These grooves prevent hydroplaning. These elements ensure the model's safe performance throughout the year. The asymmetric tread pattern and its close road contact improve the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire's steering response time is faster and more accurate to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. At the same time, the wide shoulder blocks boost cornering capability, while the special siping details shorten the braking distance by creating friction. These elements enhance the model's overall controllability and maneuvering. The Falken Aklimate offers great driving durability and handling. The asymmetric tread pattern closely follows the road surface during the drive. The strengthened internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure affecting the tire, while the special silica compound prevents heat accumulation along the tread area. This combination boosts the tire's high speed performance. All weather tires received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol for their exceptional winter weather performing ability. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee a safer summer and winter weather performing capability. This ensures their true and secure year round driving ability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
