One of my original Falkens encountered a piece of metal in the sidewall and couldn't be repaired. I can't say I was unhappy with the Falkens, they certainly rode very well but I was just not certain about their quality as an OEM tire. So I went ahead and replaced all four but with a brand other than Toyo with a highway tread. I'm not really an off roader though I'll go down some gravel or dirt backroads on vacations if needed so I figured the highway tread wouldn't hurt anything, Planning on a road trip around Utah this summer. The tires never felt right, went back twice to have them force balanced. Still wasn't happy so I took advantage of the 30 day ride guarantee and put on the Toyo Open Country ATII's. The Toyo's are night and day different from the other tires and just feel totally right on the truck. A little bit of noise but hey, that's what the 19 speakers are for. It's interesting to me that the door sticker for trucks with the ORP call for 32 PSI while the non ORP trucks call for 36. I have to assume the factory thinks this softens the ride on the stiffer suspension. I'll probably bump them up to 35 and see how it goes. Just thought I'd share my experience, I know there's a lot of great tire choices out there but I'm very pleased with the Toyo's. Happy Trails to all.
