i was goin to get them as an alternative. i wanted to try to save money. but from what i have read; they are a decent dd tire. but offroad?? they are known for weak side walls. i think the tread wear was pretty decent.

when i was shopping for tires just a month ago... i allready own a set of 235 duratracs. now that is an awesome tire. excelent tread wear and snow,ice and rain are nothing for these. So i saved a few more dollars up and bought a set in the 33" variety.

I know there aren't many reviews on the flalkens.
hope this helps.

Thanks. Hmm weird that's the opposite of what I heard. I heard they were downright TUFF and surprisingly good offroad. Thanks for the info.

Duratracs are out of my budget and they don't offer a 32. I can get 4 falkens mounted and balanced for 700. That's hard to beat, especially being in school.

I have the Falken tires and really like them, I've had them for 2 years and are wearing real well. I don't drive my cherokee very much in the summer, but I have had them in some deep mud and they went through it very easy and they handle snow very well to. Hope this helps. Heres a couple of pictures of mine.
