I wanted to start a thread, to see who's using what... so here it is. My vote goes for Toyo, and that's what I always use.

Sumitomos

Great grip, great wear life, and great price.

The best zr tires you can buy for the price.

I voted Falken, because that's what was on the wheels when I bought them, but they seem pretty shitty. I prefer BFG tires, had great luck with them on multiple vehicles.

You should set the poll so you can select more than one choice. I have Goodyears on the front and BFGs on the back! They are both nice tires, however, I'm going to go back to Goodyears for the back very soon and getting a set of drag rims with slicks cause the drag radials just aren't hooking for me.
