I'd look for other tires than the Falkens. Had some on my company truck and they were great at first but after about 10k miles they were already showing excessive wear and traction was crap. Jmo of course but there are alot of similar reviews out there

Thanks for the advice! I thought I read through enough good reviews about them. My biggest concern is having a good all year round tire since it mostly sees pavement, but I want it to be good in the snow and maybe the once or twice it sees some mud in the year. Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe Yokohama Geolandar. I had them on my old 2WD Ram and they worked fantastic!

Never ran the Yokohamas but always heard good things about them. I went to General Grabber AT2s on my company truck and have 17k so far and love them. They look kinda like a BFG AT but they cost less. They're what I plan on going with when I put new rubber on my Ram

We have Michelin LTX M/S 2 on our Excursion and love them. We live in Wisconsin,they're great on snow and ice. Brooke has BFG All Terrains on her pickup. We're a little disappointed that they couldn't be balanced. (We tried turning them on the rim) We ended up putting equal in the tires. For what they cost, the quality should be better. They do have good traction and are wearing well.

Thanks for the info! I decided to go with one I was familiar with so I got the Yokohama's 32x11.5. DiscountTireDirect also priced matched them to a eBay listing for $150 each with free shipping. They will be here tomorrow and I am getting them mounted Thursday
