Really? this is fantastic insight. I was thinking them because the reviews I saw made it sound like wet weather they do very well- rain performance is my main concern with this truck because of the light rear and no potential for front dif traction due to its being 2wd.The Falkens are what I have on my Sequoia. They came with it, and are pretty much brand new. They are quiet, and ride nicely on pavement. They will be better in rain and snow and dirt than a standard all season, but if you can get the same size for a close price in a BFG AT, they are a better tire in every way. I was curious about the Falkens, but my curiosity is satisfied now. There are better options for the same money.
I like Cooper tires a lot. I ran a few sets of them on my diesel trucks, and had a set on my 100 series and my Tacoma. Those were all ST Maxx. I would look at their AT3s. I live in the PNW so 95% of the “weather” we get is rain. And HEAVY rain. I really like Toyo MTs for rain, as the rubber is really sticky, and they shed water like nothing else, but they are crazy expensive and heavy. The more open the tread blocks are, the easier it is for them to clear water. Some AT tires have an outer shoulder tread with very narrow voids. This helps with noise and dry performance, but really messes with wet weather performance. You will hydroplane much easier with a tread that doesn’t clear water through bigger voids.
If you look at the three tires below, the Falkens have the least voids and tight narrow shoulder voids, which is why they are quiet and smooth on pavement. The Toyo AT3s in the center are a lot more open, and the Maxxis Treps are the water and mud shedding machines, but putting tires like this on a run around 2wd truck is a bit silly...
