    I LOVED my Proxes IIs. I had them on my old 17s. I dont have any really good pictures of them.

    This was the first night I put them on.








    They're soft! They leave good marks!

    Just talked to the guys at Discount....he said he could get me a deal on the Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S. $151/tire plus mount and balance. Comes out to be like $670ish for a set.

    Been having trouble with places being able to get the tires im looking for...no one can find the RH07's which were on the top of my list or the Toyos which were also pretty high on the list.

    What do you guys think about the Falken tires or the Yokohama tires? Seems like just about everywhere I call has them in stock all the time and recommend them...not sure if that makes it a good thing or a bad thing.

    My falkens suck. They have great wet traction but, After 25,000 miles they are shot. if they spin at all the tire literally just falls apart. The guys at discount told me it was fine I told them otherwise . My tires have spots in them that are just missing and I drive like a grandma 75% of the time.

    I put yokohama Geolanders on my mom's truck and they spin really easy but for her they last forever. They have 10k on them and still have 90% tread left.

    ive had four sets of falkens since feb 2010, they are great but suck for traction if you drive wild on the streets... They all lasted a long time thats for sure... The ones I have now still look brand new... But your not exactly lookin for a performance tire so.i say find a general... Bunch of truck guys get good milage outta them...

    I don't mind a performance tire...I've got BFG g-Force T/A's on it now.
    I was just looking for suggestions other than what I have currently. Now that I did some more of my own research on sizes offered and what not I have a few tires that I want to get some more info on.
