How are the Falken Ziex S/TZ-04?? Anyone have them??

I am looking at tires for my 2000 F150 H-D and this is a possible replacement for my stock Goodyear Eagle GTII's 275/45 20" tires. They look more all-season than what have and this truck is a daily driver. I like the way it grabs on dry roads now but it is awful in the rain!!!

Here they are...


My stock tires...

Had them on 22's on my f150, liked them very much. Nice look, have a great mileage rating and were reasonably priced. Better tire than the GTII's i'm sure. Besides Wandell is the ONE guy you'd want to respond to your thread when it comes to tires.

Grreat!

Im on my second set,305/45-22, for my 99 Navi. Got about 70K out of them before having any problems. They still had fair tread remaining but began picking up nails and screws. Upon removal, 4 years later, one had developed a small split on the inside sidewall. Still overall I got great service out of them and they handle water very well. Some hydroplaning after 3/4 tread life and well into wear indicator's. Tire/shop actually gave me $30 for one of the old ones and said he would not have any problem selling it for $40 or better. Hard to beat "Bang for the Buck" tire. BTW only rotated anually and rebalanced once, 22's are heavy. If they are available in the 24" size that I decide to go with on the F-150 they will be my choice.

How was road noise & how did they wear. I had read some reviews on that tire & they were not good. It sounds like everyone on here had positive experiences with them.
