Default Falken tires?

I am looking at getting some falken wildpeak at2 tires size 325/70/17. Are these pretty good tires millage wise? Anyone running these. I have a 06' xlt extended cab 4x4 with 2.5" leveling kit and 17x9 gear alloy rims. Will these tires rub?

Had that brand on a mustang and they worked well. Haven't run them on my truck. I did run hankbook. They lasted 60k with good traction. The yv were like $600installed.

I have an 05 XL Ext Cab with a 2.5" leveling kit. I am running these same tires in the size of 325/60/18 on a -12 offset aftermarket wheel. They do not rub when moving forward but when I back up and turn the wheel, they rub a bit on the wheel well right at the cab. I am putting on a 4" Rough Country lift kit to make the rub disappear. In my opinion, if you use that size tires, they will rub more than what mine are.

As for the tires, I really like them. I only have several hundred miles on them so far. They do well in the snow that we recently got and they do well when I go mudding. However, I wish they were a bit more aggressive looking. They are very quiet on the highway as well.

Thanks for the responses I can live with a little bit of rubbing I think

I've had them for tops 3000 miles but so far they are wearing great. No premature wear. Quiet ride. Handles snow rain and mud good. Aggressive but not too agressive for a daily driver.
