Falken Rocky Mountain ATS?

Falken Rocky Mountain ATS?
Anybody have any experience with Falken Rocky Mountain ATS? Going to be getting new tires soon - want to get Duratracs but these Falken's are hard to overlook being $60 less per tire.
Also, should I be concerned with any rubbing of 275/65-18 tires under a 2" lift?

Are you sure they have that tire in that the size you want?
Didnt see it come up on their website:
Tire Search Results | Falken Tire
275/65/18 is just over 32"..i run a 285/65/16 that is about 33-32.5" on a 2" HD OME...had to trim a tiny amount off the front bumper and the rear passenger rubs at full flex and fully loaded.
Check out treadwrights if you want to save some cash.
EDIT - treadwright doesnt have too many options in the 18" rim...

Here's where I found them: Tire Products By Vehicle - Discount Tire=
I do plan to use these in snow, so I may end up with the Duratracs unless someone has any overwhelmingly positive experience with the Falkens.

Looks like TreadWright only has 33's for the 18" rim, I think I'll need that extra inch less when dealing with parking garages. Wanted to find some 16" rims but having trouble finding them so I decided to stick with the 18's that are currently on her.

Those look JUST LIKE my Falken Wildpeak A/T's I got a little over a year ago. I am a fan of the Falken's now. I probably have a little over 30,000 miles on them now. I have the standard size on my 99 and they've held up really well. They have gotten me through some nasty mudholes and are silent at highway/interstate speeds. What got me to give them a try was that I could afford to buy a matching spare with them for the price of just 4 of any other brand I came across.
When these wear out I plan on just getting a larger size of the Wildpeak's. I got the BFG Rugged Terrains on my 04 and I really like them, but I would have gone with larger Wildpeak's on it if any of the tire shops would have had 5 in stock at the time.
If you are looking for a good A/T tire, but want the ride of a good street tire with no noise then they are what I would go with again.
I know you mentioned the Rocky Mountains and I got off on Wildpeaks, but comparing pics I can't tell a difference just glimpsing over.
