I have WinterMark HT's in 235/75-r15 on the front of mine right now and for have close to 15,000 miles on them look great. Noisy though.

Also some of the local power company meter readers use and abuse them on their trucks and report no complaints other than the noise.

Hard to beat the price.

Honestly never have taken the truck off-road, not enough legal places to ride.

I have a set of winterhawks on my 88 zuk and they are ok. They came on it when I bought it back in Dec. They seem to wear well but they don't clean out very well from the White River bottom jumbo mud. Then a again nothing I've seen anything cleans out gumbo well when it's in the sticky stage. Even tractor tires.

Iam pretty sure that I am going to go with the Wintermarks in a 235/75R15 on a 15x8 rim.

Mine are on a set of 15x8, and they look a little stretched. Just be careful with it.

So nobody has any experience with the Falkens?  These are very easy on the pocket and look like a decent tread for an AT.  And available in the sizes I want...

Anyone?

I run the Falkens on my 4Runner and like them.  They run quiet on the street and do well offroad. More than likely it will come down to cost.  I believe the Falkens are more expensive
