Been driving on my new Falken 305/55/20 for about 2 weeks now. Here are my impressions...
Value: Exceptional to say the least. Spent $245 each. I was cross shopping between these, Toyo RT and Nitto Ridge Grapplers. At one point I also considered the Nitto G2 but wanted something more aggressive. So, the Falkens saved me well over $400 over other sets.
Ride: Compared to stock SRA, they ride a little more firm but still feel good overall. For as tough and meaty a tire, I was expecting worse. In terms of sound, there is a very slight low hum but I can barely hear it. In fact, it really could be more wind noise due to the fact I have 20x10 -19 wheels that poke out 2-3”. In other words, they are very quiet.
MPG: I experienced a loss of 2mpg compared to my stock wheels and tires. However, I also installed larger wheels and a mild lift. Additionally, these tires are wider than factory. If I had to guess, I would attribute -1.5 mpg loss due to my lift, larger wheels, and negative offset. The tires are probably responsible for another -.5mpg loss. Maybe as much as 1mpg loss because these tires are significantly heavier than stock. In the LT305/55/20, they weigh a massive 71lbs!
Performance: I can’t speak much at this point. I have driven in rain and they perform great. I haven’t driven overly aggressive but they track very well. Can’t wait to take them into the snow.
Overall, I highly recommend them. They are phenomenal. My only wish is that they were a little lighter. Otherwise, perfect for my needs.
