FALKEN Rubitrek Tire Update

[Rado]

I am getting them tomorrow and reviews have been good !
Anyone here use them ?
Likes and dis likes ?
I am just curious about first hand reviews
Thanks

UPDATE :
A bit over 200 miles and really liking how well they stick to the road !
Even on wet roads they handle well !
Have not had much snow to test them on ! BUT from reviews they should be fine !
Noise level not bad at all IMO

THANK YOU for moving my post to proper place

I think they are pretty new. Pretty sure I haven’t read of anyone using this particular model Falken. Based on the wildpeak history, they should be fine.

I did find some reviews and they were good!
At $205.00 a tire I think I did good !
My test drive home yesterday was WOW great !
They stuck to the road like glue and will see how good in snow as we are getting some tonight !
The shop did a great job on tire balance !
Hopefully done spending $ on the RAM LOL
I also got a alignment !

Yes sir.

 

[turkeybird56]

Yup I think and per article I scanned quik

Well at 100 miles the Rubitreks are great on wet roads mild ice !
I am surprised on how quiet they are even with my Hearing Aids on lol
Since I got the brakes done and new caliper my CC seems to be working all the time not hit or miss :O
Could the bad caliper have been causing a issue with the CC ?

Got my new Falken Wildpeaks AT4W's today.

YUP, if system senses brake activated, it will disengage CC. If the caliper was sticking and the system sensed brakes engaged, well that CC be disengaged.

 

[Rado]

Well I spoke too soon about the CC working all the time :O
But can get it working if I keep on trying :O
I wonder if the steering wheel button is sticking ?
Oh well life goes on LOL
With the Falken tires my MPG is still the same so far !

 

[turkeybird56]

U had a mildly aggressive tire changed to another mildly aggressive. When I went from SRAs to Wildpeak I lost 1 to 1 1/2 mpg. If UR in the same tire range u should not lose much but the AT4Ws are a slightly more rigid tire than AT3Ws.

I agree so far only 100 mile on them but they should be close with the MPG !
I also got good MPG with the Coopers and not much noise till the started to wear !
But I am really impressed with the Falkens !

Bummer today was I paid my plow guy :O $570.00 And I did not even get lube b4 I got the bill :O

B4 the Plowing bill (___*___) After getting the bill (___O___)
