Forum sponsor, great reviews, and great on the road if its your daily driver.

Hit up a search on these, they come in all kinds of sizes too.

You know if they are too heavy for a daily driver with the stock 3.73's?

I have them and love them so far. Only had them on the rig for a couple of weeks and not off raid yet but I've read they are more than decent for an A/T.

These have been out for a while now. They're getting rave reviews as a fantastic A/T tire for sand and rock and pavement.

Watch WOLs Rocky Mountain Experience Keep It Tight videos and you will see TONS of Falken Tires. My friend uses them on his Cherokee he just has the Rocky Mountains. They are a good every day tire and good for wheeling too. If you watch the Videos youll see that they doo well even on the hardcore trails here in Colorado and still perform well on the road as well. From my experience with them they are a good reliable tire. ( I personally havent used them) Just from what ive seen. Your 3.73 gears shouldnt have to much difficulty with them. Not sure if you have an auto or Manual but you should be ok. I have 285/75 17s with my 3.2 gears and I do fine, but i have a manual.

Just my .2 Cents

The Wild Peaks and Rocky Mts are the same tire. Discount Tire Direct just has them rebranded for them but it is the same compound and tread.

Thats what I thought... Ive always looked at them and have been " those look exactly the same" that makes sense.

I have had these on for about 2500 miles and I'm very happy with them. I have a for door with 3.7 gears with auto. Notice the bigger tires a little but not to bad. I definitely recommend them. Going to these from stock Sahara made for a smoother ride. They are very quiet.
