Nice that's about what I'm looking for because the flares I have are atleast an inch and a half wider then the trucks fenders and I want to fill them out better. I got my wheels and tires ordered so now I'll be running the raceline injectors in a 17x9 -12 with 285/75/17 falken wildpeak at/3w

Just a head's up, I tried the Falken Wildpeaks and got a little over a year and approx. 25K miles on them before they were worn damn near bald...

They have a milage warranty for 50k so if they wear that fast I'll be able to get money off my next set of tires. Plus I'm getting them for 800 because my dad is a tire dealer

I have about 10k miles on my A/T3Ws. After having various other A/T tires these are my favorite. They a smooth, pretty quiet, and great in snow and rain.

That's what I was reading on all the tire sites and they had good ratings in tire shootouts in magazines

Falkens are a Japanese tire made by Ohtsu owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries. They are a cheap economical tire. Make sure to rotate and balance regularly to get maximum life. Also correct air pressure is a huge factor with these. I see a lot of cupping due to over or under inflation.

My new favorite tire are Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Might be the best all terrain/MT on the market. Quieter than Terra Grappler G2's and ride supper smooth. I run 305/70R17's and they maybe took 4oz. of weight at most per tire. Cant say better things about them.
