can get for falken wild peak ht mounted and balanced for 470. never had anything by this company. do you have a set like them? let me know.. have a good new years ck5. thanks :waytogo:
 
They are a pretty high performance tire. They are used by racers at the King of the Hammers and road racers alike. I'd say they are pretty dang reputable.

what Russ said, I have a set on my 01 Dodge tow rig and they wear like iron.
 
Have a set of the wildpeak a/ts on my 85 3/4 ton. It used to be a dd but now it only gets driven once a week so I cant really vouch for the wear but they seem to be doing pretty good.

They actually do pretty well in mud for an a/t as well but where they really shine is on wet pavement and snow/ice. Best snow and ice tire Ive ever had, but that's not saying much since most tires Ive ran on snow and ice were m/ts or swampers. With a rear locker and front posi it is very difficult for me to lose control and if the truck does start to slide, steer into the slide and bump the throttle and your back on track. The only problem is the comfort level, I catch myself driving faster than I should be.

I did cut the sidewall out of one on a stack of sheet metal in my yard though but that was mostly due to not paying attention to where I was driving. I think they only have a 2 ply sidewall but that's what you're going to get from almost any a/t or cheaper m/t.
 
I have a fat set on my Tundra for summer use. Super quiet, zero issues in rain, did have a lil bit of snow time, and surprisingly they did OK. The fronts would float over the snow, but did good in unplowed 6-7" of snow. I run BFG all terrains for snow....Oh and ZERO use in mud, so can't comment.
 
We have gotten them in on customers vehicles. The siping only goes to have tread, after that they are like a BfGoodrich BAJA tire. I havent been impressed with how they look when worn, as for a Hankook Dynapro ATM...that's a tire I would buy all day long.
 
OK thank its on a 98 c1500. from what i read. pretty damn good tires. for a pretty good price
