    A lot of people like the Falkens. I would avoid buying cheap Chinese wheels off of Ebay, or anywhere else for that matter.

    ^ I second that. Not a fan of cheap wheels, personally.

    I'm looking to buy in the next couple of weeks. I saw this tire/wheel combo and thought it looked good. That being said I have fallen in love with the Fuel Covert in bronze.

    Go with the Falkens for sure.
    Just had a decent amount of snow in PA & NJ over the weekend.
    Tires were awesome.....traction great, there was no need to put in 4WD in the mountain roads with snow.
    They are also quiet on the highway.....mine are mounted on Fuel wheels, could not be happier with the quality and look of Fuel.
    They are not cheap, but worth it.

    I may need to try the Falkens when I am due for new shoes. On my 2nd gen I am on my second set of KO2 and they've been awesome, almost got 70K miles from first set. Now I put the same KO2 on my Honda Pilot and they shake like shit at 90/mph +, can't balance them even with the road force hardware, so I am having some doubts right now :(

    This is my first go around with Falkens (18k on them so far) no complaints. On my third Tundra Crewmax at this point, they have been my daily drivers since 2008. I have run a lot of different tires & sizes over the years on my Tundras. And I have finally found the right set up too with tire size & wheels. I have run Toyo Open Country, KO2's, General Grabber, Wrangler Duratracs (loved these, lasted almost 70k miles, but way too noisey.) I am in NJ. So sand/beach, wet, snow etc....the best by far without question have been the Falkens. They pair nicely with the lift on my truck and since I did a 285/75 r18, it really did not affect my gas mileage.
    Hope this helps.
