It's only been a couple of days but the Falkens seem just as good as any other A/T tire I've had including BFGs, Yokohama and Mickey Thompson. Now before anyone loses their minds over that statement, I will admit I've only done road driving in dry conditions thus far. But the ride quality is great and the noise isn't bad at all. The tread depth is really deep too. They are rated as a 55,000 mile tire which is great if that holds true. I guess ask me again this winter and I'll give you a better review.

There was some slight rubbing. I had to get rid of the front mudflaps and do minor trimming to the plastic valence under the bumper. Easy breezy. I'm also running a 2 1/2" BDS level.

Like saserby said, looks like a completely different truck. It's amazing how wheels and tires alone can do that.

do you have any rubbing in the rear that required trimming?

FallGuy, they look great, looks like a whole new truck. Those Falken Wildpeaks are getting pretty popular, they look great. Where did you get your wheels and tires from?

Side note, how are you liking the Z36 brake kit? How is the brake dust as well?

Thanks! I got the wheels and tires from my local off road shop, Performance Off Road. They are great guys who do great work. I love the brake kit. It's been about 6 months and I've had no issues. I haven't noticed any more than a normal amount brake dust.
