falken ziex s/tz04 tires?
anyone run these?
they are only 110 bucks a piece for a 285 75 16 for my HD.
i dont do any offroad with my 2wd, but would likea bigger tire. this looks like something that comes on a new sports car, but in a larger size. i think it might be a good choice, but im skeptical of the inexpensive price.
this would be great for the bigger stance, and not add the noise of a mud tire.

the section width is down on the tire at 10.7, where most are 11.2-11.3, but this makes it better for putting it on a stock wheel, since its a bit more narrow.
just sounds too good to be true.
sears has them in stock, im gonna go take a look at them.
they are 130 there, but ill save on shipping.

I really don't worry too much about traction as the 2WD trucks have to since I'm 4WD.
The width and height plus the ability to put these on my stock rims is what I'm after, along with less hum and better ride from all terrain tires I have now.
Keep me in the loop please!!

I got mine, same tire but 18", from discounttiredirect.com . Shipping was free. Don't remember what I paid but I do remember that shipping was free 
And I like the tire. This is the second set I've had. 285/65 18

I have them on my Tahoe and they still don't have any signs of wear after 2 years. Wet traction is excellent and traction is very good too. Will buy this tire again.
