i ran 2 sets of wildpeaks on my ranger, now I'm running a set of Rubitreks, can't beat the price, great on the highway, great in the snow, no problems off-road and no problems pulling my boat up the ramp. I'll be getting another set of Rubitreks when these wear out.

FYI, Tyler, the Rubi's are the same tires pretty much, just created for different retail markets with a slightly different mold. Been running both for 10 years, since Falken was a budget cheap brand. Probably bought 10 sets at this point. Used to be half the price of Toyos. Also, neither are stellar offroad, or in snow. The compound is too hard. BUT, the little bit you compromise offroad, you gain 2 fold in longevity. They'll last twice as long as a bfg, but you only lose a bit of traction. The main way tires wear out is losing rubber on hot asphalt. In the summer desert, you can literally watch them wear away between fill ups. The Falkens are the only, out of many tires, that our tour company has found to hold up.

Great video! You Explained all the details very well. It’s funny bc I just found out about this tire yesterday online while looking at all different A/T tires.

I first had Falken on my Jeep when they were making their way onto the off road market, loved the tires because of their performance and reasonable price. As their popularity grew, so did their price. and in some cases more than "proven" off road tires. I now run the Milestar Patagonia XT, an under rated tire in my opinion.

Good, informative video made by a person who knows what they are talking about. That's rarely seen these days. Thank you.

I picked up the rubritreks for my tundra on your recommendation a while back and I love them, been rock solid for me and the skinny tire look is 🤌🤌

Getting a set of the Rubes now…this vid made me feel good about that decision. Many thanks!

I'm running the Rubitreks on my Toyota Highlander. I like the aggressive look and the hwy performance has been great. Since I just recently purchased them I haven't had them off pavement much yet. I mostly do dirt roads and fire roads in the High Sierra. My one adventure so far they did feel good going over rough roads, rocks through creeks... in the slippery mud/clay I was experiencing some slipping and sliding but never got stuck. Great tire in my opinion.

Bro thanks so much! Spot on Video! Good luck with next one 🙏💪

Ran BFG KO2 for a while on my Colorado, went to Rubitreks because I don’t do a lot of off roading and I love them much better. Smooth, quite but still aggressive looking. Also can’t beat the price of these tires vs BFGs.

Great video! I decided to give the Rubitreks a shot on my 4Runner. I dont really go off roading, I do take a lot of country dirt roads and we get some bad winter storms here in NW Pa so I seem to be the target driver for these tires.

Awesome video, my tire guy put me on to the rubis since they were about $20 cheaper per tire in 265/75/16, and they have been absolutely smooth and silent on my sport trac and surprisingly good in mud. Hoping central PA gets some snow for me to put them to the test.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a subpar product from Japan, pr being Japanese branded. Makes me happy to know that there is a culture putting out great products at amazing value.

Thanks for making this video! Not too much info on the Rubitrek. Definitely picking some up now.

I bought these tires for my truck they were on sale at the time. Extremely pleased with them

Ive have these on my Titan for a year now and they are an awesome in all conditions.

Got a set of the P rated tires on my 4Runner. It handles great on wet roads, and they are SMOOTH and quiet. Way quieter than the KO2s ive had. Off-road handling is great for what I typically get into (No mud)

Thanks for the info Tyler! I know that southern Idaho Mud, the Owyhee front is crazy sticky in the rain!

i think ur spot on with everything mentioned. just picked up 4 285s for my xterra.

I just got a set last month for my Chevy Tahoe. I love them and the have very deep tread and E rated for when I tow my trailer. Very pleased, can’t wait for snow. When I bought mine in 285/75/16 I really wanted km2’s or AT3’s but those were both over $50 more per tire. So at a $200 savings I rolled the dice with these. They are not as good looking but performance I think is the same.

I would choose the Rubitrek based on my driving habits, but they are more difficult to find than the Wildpeaks where Iive. Hopefully, that changes over time. I noticed the same thing on the Falken website you referenced Tyler; they should have used the same comparison criteria...

Hello, souther Idaho here I currently have the rubitrek on my 2013f150 fx4, I think I am going to go with the wildpeak AT3W I love the Ruby track it's been a great tire 50,000 on the tread , good life left but want just a little more aggresive. Not mud tred they dond do good in wet cold or snow conditions they bave there place,dont care what the mud lovers have to say. And a couple of the guys that I started to go off-roading with have the wild peek at w3's and love them

Oh hey an idaho off road youtuber, im in the boise area, cool to see 208 represented. Rubitreks will definitely be on my radar next time i need tires

I have the A/T3W LT295/70 R18 and love them. Sadly they need to be replaced now after 65,000 miles. I want to get them again, but every place is backordered. I don't want Toyo or BFGs. So I may just buy the Rubitreks. Thanks for a great video

I’ve got the wildpeaks up here in Slc in a little winter community. 5months of parking on snow. Best tire I’ve ever owned and is much quieter than any previous at’s or mt’s. Hopefully the rubitreks come in some 255 sizes… as I want to run something skinny on my first gen dc tundra.

I have Rubitreks on two of my personal vehicles and recommend them to lots folks that want a good looking tire with decent all terrain capability. Especially if 90% of their driving is on road… why deal with noisy, bad handling mud terrains for the 6 miles a year you actually hit a muddy patch? The price difference of AT3W vs Rubi does seem to be slowly closing, so a set of AT3W may be in my future next time. Thanks for the info. You came to an almost identical conclusion between these two tires as I did based on the available info. Great vid!

I like your video just focusing on data and your experiences! Your video got right to the point

I’ve had both tires and love them both. Off-road performance were very similar but the Rubitrek has the edge on the highway. I think pricing is higher on the wildpeaks because of the 30 day ride and it’s also their best selling tire. When I went to replaced my wildpeaks with the rubitreks, I saw the price difference, saved 102 for my size and have, imo, a better tire which never thought possible. Both are amazing tires! Good video btw.

Very informative video. I was torn between the Rubitrek and the AT3W. I really dont do any offroading, but here in Mishitgan, we do get some deep snow. On-road manners and a quiet ride are concerns of mine. I dont skimp on tires or brakes, so the price isn't a big concern. I hope they don't kill my mpg too bad. I've hit 27 in my 18 silverado with a 5.3, and average 23 summer and 19 winter (watered down gas here for winter) Thanks to your video, I'll be buying a set of Rubitreks.

I happened to watch this video when I was looking for wildpeak at4w since they’re new. I gave up on doing a lift for a while and decided to ditch the stock junk tires and went searching. Sure enough, dealership had these like a couple of days after watching videos on the rubies. Crazy timing. But they’re affordable.

Thanks for reviewing these. Not a lot of info out there. Switching off my ko2s to the rubis for the winter/wet performance I need in the PNW.

Recently bought a set of tires, went with Wildpeak A/T3w. Did research on Rubitrek and looked good but they weren’t stocked by many tire sellers and price difference was more than the A/T 3s.

Well done presentation, thanks for your insight.

Thanks for your research and insights. I have the AT3Ws stock on my Bronco Sport 1stEd. 235/65R17 29” Been to Moab and done round trips to New Mexico. 30k on them now. Met up with Falken at Overland Expo. Be cool for you to do a follow up interview at an event like that. Anyway my thoughts go to marketing. The catalog descriptions are almost word for word. The Rubitrek is budget freely with a robust name. Great option for those who live in metropolitan areas and do the weekend warrior stuff, like me. Snow and mud is only a few hours away. Seriously concerning the Rubis. Have 1.5” lift , so will be upsizing just under 32”. TBD

I have the wildpeaks AT3 on my first gen Sequoia and just put the rubitrex on my first gen Tacoma. Both great tires.

I just got some for a really steep discount and I put them on my 05' Sequoia. So far I love them, they're surprisingly smooth on the highway and are quite soft offroad.

I'm running the Wildpeaks at 265/70/16 (although I am contemplating going to 75/16 - not going any wider than 265). I feel like the Rubitreks are compelling and would do well with the Subaru Wilderness models, but for me, living in the Front Range and often finding myself on gnarly trails with unpredictable conditions, I'm gonna stick with the Wildpeaks. They're just the best tires I've ever had, on any vehicle. While I don't wheel super hard out here, I do suspect they'd be the more reliable of the two for the conditions. And, I'm often alone on those trails so I'd prefer to have the more purpose-built of the two. Great, informative video!

Great analysis. I am torn between these exact two tires. My instinct is leaning to the Rubitreks.

Thanks for posting a review about the Rubitrek. I don't think I would have even heard about these tires if it wasn't for your review. I'm probably going with the rubitreks. I only want to do some light to moderate offroading, with 99% of my driving on road. I'll probably post a review when I switch as well and mention your review.

I bought a set of 295\70 R18 for my 2022 Tundra and installed them on some fastwheel mags for winter and off roading. Love the ride but hate that my MPG crashed. Thanks for the review of the tires

just bought a set of these for my 2020 Taco. Love em.......

" Tread wear: 660A vs 600A" This means that the Rubitrek is a slightly softer compound geared more towards snow/ice, rain and on road use. Also, a less aggressive version of the AT3W for those reasons overall. Those are the legitimate differences.

Ahhh decisions decisions 🫣😬both sound so good. I’ll take 2 of each 💯👌🏻

From experience, the wildpeak at3’s were amazing in the snow, decent in ice, great in water and dirt trails, terrible in mud. Overall badass tire, shreds in the snow, tread depth ads extra life.

Excellent review! You answered several of my most important questions in one video. Any impressions on which one has given you better gas mileage after driving both of them?

Thanks for this video!!! Well, know we know .... why they have the Rubitrek.They are killing off the AT3W. The AT3W is/has gone away and the new AT4W is redesigned to go after the big heavy truck market. It is heavier and the compound is harder with less siping. It will not perform as well as the AT3W on lighter vehicles especially in the wet and winter.(Jeeps, Broncos, smaller trucks and SUV's ... Outbacks) I'm a fanatic about my wet and winter traction, looks like the Rubitrek is what I'll look at for my Bronco.

I have the Rubitreks on my jeep liberty in size 235/70-16 XL load rating. They replaced a set of Cooper Disco STT in 245/75-16 LR-E. Much quieter on the road and better fuel mileage. They are about 10lbs per tire lighter too. Been mounted since Dec 2022 and I have no issues with them. Use the Jeep for all around driving, hunting and logging road travel. The Coopers were about 7 years old and pretty worn but they still rubbed in sharper turns, especially in reverse. My Jeep has the OME lift on it. I was actually looking for something a little more aggressive but not a full mud tire and the Patagonia AT pro seemed to be the one but can't find them anywhere so don't know if they have even started marketing them yet. I just got a set of Toyo Open Country RT trail for my ram 3/4 ton and they seem to be really good so those might have worked well too but they are $$$$$. This jeep doesn't need 10 ply tires but like you said when you get to a certain size that is what is available. Have not found the Rubitreks to be lacking in traction yet but I'm not hard core offroading.

i run 255/80r17 at3w as the daily driver. 30k miles and they look great. seriously good tire in anything except mud. for the serious offroading i have a set of swamper ltb in 24x10.50/17. also an amazing tire. skip the snow. they are also lego tire loud at freeway speed.

Well articulated review. Sounds like Falken has a marketing/communications problem. Only way to solve this is for someone to do an instrumented test.

Those steps in tread are to help reduce and prevent tear out on larger lugs of tread blocks

Awesome video man thanks alot!

It’s what I run. Love em. Work great for everything I need

Good Comparison, Thank you.

I’m about to grab a set of “never been mounted” rubi’s for $500, (sticker still on). I was a little disappointed because I’ve been looking specifically for AT3W’s and thought that’s what I was looking at, at first. After watching this and doing some research I don’t feel like I’m making any mistake but I always loved the way AT3W looked and I guess I wish they could’ve simulated that same look with the outter tread pattern more open maybe?… but aesthetics are secondary for me and I feel like these look nice too. I will comment later after I’ve had em mounted on my 2nd gen Tacoma for a while! Going from 245 75R16 to 265 75R16

Living in the 208/406 and driving to and from the 509 both the Rubitrek and Wildpeak A/T3W work great. I really don't notice a difference in wear, mileage or noise. I can't hear any road noise over the exhaust or radio. Aired down they are very similar as well. I will buy what ever is cheaper even if its a BFG AT or a Cooper Discoverer AT in the size I want. I need to be loyal to my wallet. Sadly prices are more of a big deal these days. (LGBFJB) The Discount tire warranty makes it nice and easy here in pot hole county 208

Some years back maybe 8 or 10 years ago I considered Rubitreks vs AT3W’s in the 315/75/16 flavor and ended up with the AT3W’s. Back then Falken was not thought of very highly in the truck market, they were more into the budget tuner segment and certain 200 tread wear track tires. At that time both were a lot cheaper than they are now with all the popularity they gained in the off-road segment and Jeep offering them as an OE fitment. That said they are very similar tires as you note and I wouldn’t hesitate to take the Rubitreks on any of the trails I ran my Land Cruiser on. BL, they don’t have the bro appear that AT3W’s have but will take you the same places and maybe save you a couple bucks.

Just bought 4 they’ll be here tomorrow

I have the Rubitrek A/Ts on my 2021 Jeep GC, 265/60/18 and yes they are great off road and snow performance, they are also much better for basic on road performance, they handle much better. A couple things to note: 1. I’ve had nothing but balancing issues with a nasty vibration at 75+mph. 2. MPG on hwy dropped ~3-4mpg. 3. I like quiet vehicles and I have to raise my voice when talking. There is not a hum or anything, it’s more over a white noise. Overall the vibrations is probably due to a broken band or something. Unfortunately I did not send in my warranty information so shame on me.

great review

I think the only Wildpeak version we get over here in Europe is actually the same tire as this Rubitrek. Not a bad winter tire, but I still wish we could get the original Wildpeak.

I've been looking into them because of your videos but a lot of sites are telling me that they are discontinued. I wonder if they're phasing them out? Also, I'm looking for a 255/80r17 pizza cutter size for my GX470, so I'll probably settle for Wildpeaks.

Thank you for this Video. Is there a warranty difference between the std and LT versions? These are going on my daughter's 4runner in Provo.

I have the 3ws on my 80 series and my friend has the rubi on his Tacoma. Exact same size and rating. I've found that his tires seem to better in mud than mine. They seem to be wearing about the same as mine and they seem to be about as loud. I've always wondered what the difference was.

Weight difference between the two would have fuel mileage implications. Im shopping for my next set of tires for my 2.7l TurboMax Silverado. Currently running Michelin ltx defenders which are ~40lbs and the AT tires ive been looking at are between 43 and 53 lbs. Since 99% of my driving is on the road, fuel mileage, noise, and rain/snow performance are more important than off road traction; I figure any good quality AT tire will be better off road than the defenders. Im currently waffling between the rubitrek and the cooper at3 4s in one size taller than stock, 265/70r18. The Falken Rubitrek is about 46 lbs, while the Cooper AT3 4S is about 41 lbs.

Good info thanks.

fairly common for a tire manufacturer to have similar tires in the same category. For example Goodyear has tire models sold only at walmart and Cooper has models sold only at Pep Boys. There is also OE tires sold only to an automobile manufacturer to be used as the "stock tire" for a vehicle. There are also regional tires not offered in certain continents.

Great video bro. Shout out from cda !

Left Falken, went with Vredstein Pinza A/T for my SUV. Cheaper, Good Performer & 70k mile warranty....

both great tires i went with a/t3w due to better $ from my tire guy

The more solid center of the rubitrek should improve mpg due to lower rolling resistance and life of the tire but less ice traction if the compound in the same. The reason that many snow tires have a solid center rib is to improve their tire life. The blocky tread also lasts better in gravel. (Copper tire tech for many years)

I have 37 12.5 R20 Falkin Wildpeak AT3...best tire I have owned to date and I have tried many tires from Nitto, Toyo, Yoko and BFG. I have a 2020 f250 7.3 gas with a Carli 3" level. I couldn't find these on their website and chances are they not made in 37's.

You’re never gonna hear much about the rubitrek because most of what you read/watch is gonna say “get wildpeaks” which is a shame. Seems ripe for the discontinuation 😢

a few months later, any comparion for snow and ice? I don't offroad but where I live, good traction in snow/ice is a must. the price difference is minimal. wish they had 255/75. might get the 255/80s bc I really want 33s but e load is overkill.

thanks for the info

I just bought a set of wildpeaks for my 05 Tundra, then cancelled the order because I noticed the Rubitreks were $135 cheaper in the exact same size. Time will tell if I like them

Ok, the Falken AT3W are arguably the best (BTW, the AT4Ws were just released and are now available). BUT do most of us 'need' the AT3W/AT4Ws? If I were an advertising exec, I'd market this way: Wild Peak AT3W/AT4Ws are for those who make their own trails, the Rubitreks are for those who follow trails. I find the Rubitreks to be 90% of the AT3Ws, less expensive, but better on the highway (smoother, less noise - NOT that the AT3Ws are obnoxiously noisy) for most of us who spend 90% ... or even 99.9% of the time on the highway. They still look aggressive, the tread is very similar to the AT3W, and they're 3-peak snow rated just like their Big Brother AT3W/AT4W. I'm not advocating for Rubitreks over AT3W/AT4Ws for those who do hardcore off-road. But I think the vast majority would really like the Rubitrek performance & they [currently] come with a decent cost savings (maybe because few people actually know about them). I found the AT3Ws were more affordable when they were first released, but as popularity grew [at least in my area] the AT3Ws price also grew. A side note: I bought mine at Discount Tire. However, DT "does not have the tires in their system" (neither does Tire Rack - the same owner as DT). BUT, they ordered them from the local distributor. I simply waited overnight for DT to get their hands on them. I've seem posts where people state they were told, at DT, that DT could not get them. That's from a Tire Advisor who either doesn't know - or is too lazy - to order them! Thanks for posting this video b/c there is not a lot out there on these 'unknown' Falkens. P.S. My daughter did not take my advice ... she does nearly 100% highway and just last week she had DT install the new Wild Peak AT4Ws on her 4 Runner. Why? Because they are popular (more reviews) and there's little on the Rubitreks other than dad's advice!😂 In my defense, I did recommend both [either] and I told her that if I were her, I'd go one way or the other.

I want to try these tires but I can't find pair online with a more recent manufacture date than 2021.

Just dropped off my 2001 Tundra at the shop for maintenance and asked them to throw the Rubi too.

Super busy looking sidewall. Fairly stiff?

I went through the same process trying to figure out the difference between the mystery Rubitrek and AT3 when my OEM Goodyear Adventures started hydroplaning after 20K miles. Went for the Rubitrek’s because I wanted a slight road biased AT, and they’ve been OK. Definitely have great traction on wet pavement, ok in snow but lousy on ice (I switch to winters now) ok handling, but took a hit on mpg and actually surprised how noisy they are. Was expecting quieter but they are kind of annoying, way noisier than the Adventures. Guess that’s the price of any real AT. Two of the tires wore very quickly. Going to see about warranting them. Overall kind of disappointed. Wondering if there’s another AT that’s quieter but still capable.

Do you think the Rubitrek would get slightly better gas mileage? I am debating between the Rubitrek and the Falken Wildpeak H/T02. I go off roading into the ditch next to a field to go hunting a few months out of the year, I wasn't sure if I truly needed the AT compares to All season tires.

Well dang now I need to do a review on my nexen roadian A/T tires I've had on my f150

I just got a set of A/T3WA. That extra A…. Not sure what it’s about. But it looks VERY similar to the Rubitrek.

I had a set of Wildpeak A/T3Ws on my Jeep on & offroad performance was OK but nothing special. The mileage I got out of them was disappointing

Both are great. I love Rubitrek’s the best. Great grip on snow and ice. Quieter and better fuel economy than wildpeak

Wildpeak Trail 245/60/18 $150 two years ago. Discount Tire price match.

Wildpeak tyres Srishti ka circle jaanny waalon ki history se banaya gya or technology ko japan ne start kiya ja ki lndia main yahi falken tyres ke naam se project pass kiya gya is tarah mode of transportation dwara international links national base par laaye gay

Both Tirerack and Discount Tire have this tire and they call it the Wildpeak AT3W A, seems like they are specifically branding it to them since they are the same company

Currently running Wildpeaks A/T3W on my Silverado and have been a great tire but getting a lot more road noise the more miles on them, currently at 42,000 and counting. Do you feel the Rubitreks are a much quieter tire on highway or just a little? We travel to Colorado a lot and road noise is getting to be a big thing with me. Thanks

I can't find the tire ply for the Falkin Rubitrek. 275/55-20. Anyone?

How is your tread wear with the rubitreks so far?

I debated for a long time between the rubitrek and the at3w a lot of utility trucks locally run the rubitrek

Love my Wildpeaks but they are a little noisy. Plus Falken discontinued the 255/75/17. Rubitrek looks interesting but also no 255/75/17 so I'm looking at Nokian Outpost instead.

My guess would be that they are made to get fleet vehicle business as they are extremely cost conscious, but don't usually buy off brand tires.

You put 255/80/17 on your Tundra? Did you need to modify or lift? After this amount of time what are your impressions on the tires? Are you going to buy the same tires again? How did this tire size affect your odometer readings and speedometer readings?

I have 45,000 miles on mine and they look great. Probably get 60-65,000 out of them

Hay Tyler….. are you still liking those rubitrek? Im getting ready to buy new tires for my 1500 ram. Any regrets?

So where are they made?

Wildpeak A/T3W is mostly made in the USA & Japan Rubitrek is mostly made in Thailand.

I wonder we're the at4w will come into this play
