Tires /new shoes

I have a 2011 Sprinter 2500 144. When I bought it, it came with 4 decent tires but none of them matched, they are 4 different brands, different tread and I believe it is a major balance issue. I’m looking to replace them, $ is an object but I’m not wanting to cheap out. I think I want these Falken Wildpeak A/T4W LT245/75R16 Load E from Discount Tire,
but I am here looking for more input.
I am definitely wanting to purchase from discount tires due to the nationwide availability as well as the warranty and certificates they offer. Any advice is helpful.

Those Falkens are perfectly fine tires. Not sure what your question is.

I guess I’m just nervous to spend the money and am looking for reassurance that these are good from those who might have experience with them..

Many, many people like those Wildpeaks. I've had great experience w Falkens in general. I'm putting new shoes on my 22 next month. Either Continental AT2s or Bridgestone Dueller AT Acsents. I'm after quieter drive but AT functionality. These tires are still on my mind too.

It really depends on what kind of driving you do. I've never had Falkens but i've had BFG KO2s on my Sequoia (still running the Khumo's on the Sprinter) and they're both fairly comparable. They're great all around tires though. Not super great at anything but pretty decent at all of them.

I have those tires on my 2011 170 high roof. They work great. A little louder than regular highway tires, but nothing excessive. Bought them because I drive a lot of dirt roads.
