My dad put Falkens on our maxima years ago, they were awesome in all conditions. Much better than the factory tires, but I forget what they were.

If you want a smooth, quiet, and good handling tire I would recommend the Toyo Proxy. I have some 255/55/18's on my Mountaineer and I love them. They are worth the price. It also is a very good handling tire on wet driving conditions.

Yokohama is the parent company of Falken. They produce their economy tire line and market them under that label.

i was gonna get the geolanders but decided on the pirelli's. from what i hear the geolanders are pretty good.

i also read geolanders are real good, but also wear kinda funny. myself, i've already made up my mind on 31x10.5x15 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos. maybe next summer i'll get 18" cobra r's with some pirelli scorpion zeros.
