About the Falken Aklimate

All-Weather Confidence, Every Season, Every Mile

Best forPassenger car drivers in climates with real winters who want certified snow-weather capability without swapping to dedicated winter tires each season.

The Falken Aklimate is a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified all-weather tire built for passenger vehicles. Unlike a standard all-season tire, it is purpose-engineered to handle moderate to severe winter conditions — snow, slush, and cold-weather roads — while remaining capable year-round. A 65,000-mile tread life warranty backs its long-term value.

The Aklimate uses an asymmetrical tread pattern combined with 3D sipe technology to sharpen grip on snow-covered and slippery surfaces. Its rubber compound is formulated to stay pliable in cold temperatures, supporting traction and stability when conditions deteriorate. Low rolling resistance is built in, helping balance winter capability with everyday efficiency. The 3PMSF certification confirms it meets severe-snow service standards.

Questions about this tire

What does 215/70R16 100H mean?

215 is the tread width in millimeters, 70 means the sidewall is 70% of that width, and R16 is the 16-inch rim it mounts on. 100 is the load index (1,764 lbs per tire), and H is the speed rating (up to 130 mph).

What's the difference between the Falken Aklimate and a regular all-season tire?

The Aklimate is an all-weather tire, which is a meaningfully different category from all-season. It carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, meaning it has passed standardized testing for moderate to severe snow traction — a threshold standard all-season tires do not meet. If you regularly drive through snow and cold weather but don't want to manage a seasonal tire swap, the Aklimate is designed for that role.

How does the Aklimate perform in snow and ice?

The Aklimate uses 3D sipe technology and snow claws in its tread to bite into snow and channel slush away from the contact patch, giving it solid performance in wintry conditions. That said, if you face sustained extreme ice or deep, unpacked snow regularly, a dedicated winter tire will still have an edge — the Aklimate is built for drivers who need dependable all-year capability rather than maximum winter specialization.

What warranty comes with the Falken Aklimate?

Falken backs the Aklimate with a 65,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. This is a model-level warranty, though specific terms and conditions are set by Falken — check with us or Falken directly for full coverage details.

Is the Falken Aklimate a durable tire for rough conditions?

Yes. The tread compound and construction are designed to hold up in demanding conditions, including cold temperatures and abrasive winter road surfaces. The 65,000-mile warranty reflects confidence in the tire's longevity under normal use.

What vehicles is the Falken Aklimate compatible with?

The Aklimate is designed for passenger cars and is available in 89 sizes covering 15-inch through 22-inch rim diameters, so it fits a wide range of sedans, coupes, and smaller crossovers. Use our fitment tool or contact us to confirm the right size for your specific vehicle.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
