I'm VERY impressed with my FCIIs. At about 19k they easily have 90%+ tread left. Not a cheap tire by any means, but I've yet to find a tire that does pavement (dry or wet) as well as these, yet still lets me hunt and play hard when I go up to the farm or the mountains...

I do have to agree with you there. They aren't good for ANY muddy conditions at all. They just sink and spin. but then again, they aren't made for that either. They handle the rain better than any tire i have ever used and we get some sweet tires on our cruisers!!!

From my experience ( I work for Sears in the tire center) Falkens are crap for trucks. Most common truck tire in a Falken you'll find is the STZ-04 and 01. I'd recommend them if you have 22" rims or bigger simply because if you go with those size rims you'll probably not going to drive the truck...like a truck (reffering to 40 series and lower only).
The Wrangler HP's and Silent Armor's I like but I favor the Silent Armor, it's warrantied and I haven't heard anything rolling on the freeway at 90mph. The HP it's just a standard square profile tire that I haven't seen to many of but have heard a lot of complaints about, had 2 or 3 different Chevy Avalanches with those tires stock and had an average of 25k miles and were about 3/32's of usuable tread left.
I wouldn't recommend a Michelin tire either... I had the 245/70/17 stock on my Ram 1500 and a wopping 11k miles out of them, they were the LTX M/S.
I now have a Bridgestone Dueler APT III which I love the tire, the way it looks and performs. I do hate however that it's been replaced by the Dueler APT IV but the IV has just improved on the APT III really.
Just a little input I hope it helped

What are the wrangler hp's?
Do you have any experience with the Wrangle Duratrac or the new Wrangler MTR with kevlar?
