Driving conditions in Hamilton
The escarpment splits the weather: the mountain gets real snow while the lower city stays wet. Most Hamilton drivers we fit are running pickups, work vans and family SUVs, and they spend their kilometres on the Lincoln Alexander, Highway 403, QEW and the mountain accesses. This is real snowbelt territory. A dedicated winter set on a second rim package is the single biggest safety upgrade you can make.
- Performance — a core strength of the Falken range.
- All-Terrain — a core strength of the Falken range.
- Value — a core strength of the Falken range.
- Confirm load index and speed rating against your door-jamb placard before ordering; Hamilton fitments vary widely across pickups, work vans and family SUVs.
- Budget for mounting, balancing, new valve stems and a four-wheel alignment on top of the tire price.
