I'm sure, but while towing my enclosed trailer I had multiple blow outs .

I'm sure they would be fine with out a load but they were not good with a light load.

Either way I would never buy another set of those tires

What was in the trailer? How many ply were the tires you had? Were they on the correct size rim?

They're junk, I've had 2 blow out on me.

Go with 420s or proxxes.

I've had many tires LOL

Really? I have pulled way more weight with them than I care to admit. Burnouts, trips all over the country, not one problem. I guess "junk" is a matter of opinion. Mine have been amazing. Fyi, any tire will blow out. I see it everyday on the interstate. You can't really say they are junk because they blew out. Who's to say you didn't hit something or pick up something in the road?

Oh my lord!!! What size tires? What kind as well

Cooper Zeon XST 325/35/24's on I know you already know the rims

Also these tires are awesome for how little of a sidewall they have. I'm on my second set of Cooper Zeons on these rims. I've gone rock crawling with them- camping spot was a little farther then planned, hauled 8000+ pounds with them for hundreds of miles, and ran them tell they were basically smooth- no flats.

Cooper, Nitto or Toyo. All great offerings from each of the brands to go with. BFG's and Michelins are nice too though. I ran Toyo Proxes T1-R's for a while with good performance but tread life wasn't great at all, especially with my lead foot. Switched to some Nitto Invo's after that & liked them. IDK if they're really rated for what a F-250 might be hauling though...?

Has anybody ran a Falken on a SD? My friend ran some on his F1 with great grip and mileage but I haven't seen anybody run them. Don't know the weight rating is on them.

probably getting paid at work to post this from my bionic

My my buddy did on his truck, he said they didn't ride very well and were a pain to balance out.

I got 25,000 or so out of a set of Toyo Proxes ST2's and now they're on Phil Hooker's 1/2 ton Dodge Cummins getting thoroughly abused. They still had pretty good tread on them when they went on his truck. I probably had in the neighborhood of 100 track passes and a lot of tune testing on those tires in my CC/SB 2008 F-250.
