Now that I thought I would be getting the Falkens... I'm suddenly on the fence, as there is a new competitor, from Nokian. They are really aiming at the same market slice: good road behaviour with rugged looks and a forest trail capability.
So far, only 1 review, with a disappointment about the noise (worse than the Geolandars G015, apparently). One significant advantage of the Nokians is their weight: 26 lbs vs 29.3 for the Falkens (225/60R17 - got the specs via customer support since they didn't publish it). Great for fuel savings, but it nevertheless raises questions about their robustness (single ply)
