I'm running fallen ZIEX S/TX04
245/70/17 in front
265/65/17 in rear

Little wider in rear for better look there are pretty good tires with good looking tread pattern the hook really well I've put about 5000 miles on them And I have been to the track with them several times and they still have about 90% life left and best part is mounted and balanced form discount tire only $658

I had bought them when I fist bought my truck. I didn't think they were horible but they wern't great either. I burnt them off in 2000-3000 miles from going to drag strip and smoking the tires showing off.

Hankook has been one of my favorite tires. They are a good value and always seem to perform well.

I'm figuring out that these 420 tread wear hankooks don't hold up to shenanigans as well as my old 640 tread wear rocks Smoke better and make more noise though
