Default What about Falken Ziex S/TZ-01 Tires?

Hi Guys,
Alrighty then I guess the Goodyear GTII's suck so what about Falken Ziex S/TZ01 tires? As i said before my pickup is only driven on nice days so my main consideration is looks, noise level and dry traction.
Thanks,
Gene

I'm shoping for tires too, I am looking for the 305/50-20 size.

I've been looking at the same falkens that you listed, bfg's, and pirelli's

Guys, don't overlook the Kumhos. I have never heard anything bad about them from anyone (vendors or individuals) and the price is decent. It seems like they're like Yokohamas were when they were just coming up....great quality at a good price.

I'm leaning towards the 295/50R-20 size on relica Silverado SS wheels. 305's sound nice but that would be 2 inches taller than what i have now (255/65R-16) and then I'd have to put in 4.10 or 4.56 gears and while I'm there I might as well put a real posi or locker in too and, well, that's more than I want to do right now. I just got through a transmission fiasco and want to take a breather from big expenses
Thanks,
Gene

I have the Falken Ziex/01 tire in 285/60R18. I love them, there are extremly quiet, smooth and handle well. When I balanced them the most any took were 2 ounces of weight, tire/wheel combo weighs 70lbs. I would recommend them not even based on the cheap price.
