Talking Who's rollin' on Falkens

I have a line on a new set of Falken Ziex S/TZ-01's, 275/55/20. Are these good tires? Any Pro's or Con's? They're pretty affordable, and they look good. Anything has to be better than the GTII's I'm buring now.

i am running on stz04s and they don't hook for ****. in their defense i have 4.10 gears in the back. i have tried all different tire pressure to no avail. at 25 mph i can turn them over like i was sitting still.

pros, they do handle the road quite well when in the twisties. they are quiet. nice thread pattern and clean up well.

i have 275-70-16's.

my next set of tires are gonna either be toyo proxies or kuhmo ecsta stx

I haven't gotten them yet, as that size tends to be a little hard to come by. I like running a tall tire so I can keep a decent side wall and ride, plus they'll allow me to tow. Does anyone know is the STX-01's are any better than the STX04's?
