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...

Cant comment on the Falken, never used them before, but the duratracs may well be worth the extra money for you. Especially if you see a lot of snow.

Have duratracs on my dads D2 now and they've been awesome. I've also been really impressed with how well they are wearing.

 

I go along with checking out Tread Wright Tires, it is a great tire good warranty, long lasting and a great price.

 

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.

 

Dang... this may be a game time decision at the tire shop.
