Not getting Falken R52 tire but getting Bridgstone Duravis R250.
Im trying to get these tires for one of the work trucks with a heavy flatbed thats hauls heavy. I know it has a build date of 2015 but I dont care ive used old new stock tires and never had issues, i was thinking of getting the Toyo M-55 like i did with my old work truck but dont want the AT thread.

Adam, how are the M-55's holding up/performing?
I have no experience with the Falken tires, but the price is good.

So theres no reviews, the only one I managed to find was on a trailer but you know how that goes. I like the "old school" thread pattern and the heavy duty side walls are like the Toyo M-55 ill end up getting them and post a review if any one is interested.
Whoops these are the ones Im getting.

Ok after much debate i decided not to get them, not enough reviews and the only two I found on this particular tire were not good, tracking issues and apperantly skinnier than a standard 235 85 16 tire, I did however get the Bridgestone Duravis R250 and there were alot of positive reviews some said they are not all that good in the snow but who am I kidding I live on a desert lol....
Heres the ebay add.

Couple of them also mention of getting nearly 100k out of them well see if its true.

Over the years, I've heard from several tire suppliers that the Bridgestone tires tend to be the "roundest" tires available. I've used them on a couple of vehicles, and they tend to ride exceptionally well, but I've never gotten decent mileage off of them. That said, I know nothing about the current rubber formulation being used in the Duravis tires, so my initial comments need to be taken with one or more grains of salt.

The Fed Ex truck came in yesterday and well I wasnt disapointed, these tires are ment to be highway tires and are Heavy duty, the side walls are like 1 1/4" thick. I installed them today first test drive was impressive, no tire noise, no tracking, and very solid on sharp turns. The one thing I notice when the tire shop balanced them it required at least 2oz on all 4 wheels? But the good news is that they dont vivrate, bounce or anything on the highway doing 75mph or at any given speed. Ill keep posting here to review them after I put some miles on them heres the pics of the tires installed on my work truck.
The truck is kind of dirty it rain in the morning while going to work.
