FALKEN Tire Update

[Rado]

A few months ago installed FALKEN RUBITREK tires on my 1500!

They are IMO A light version of the weather PEAK
On dry roads handle very well and not really noisy !
Grip very well
Wet roads also grip well !
Today has a Steady rain lots of water on the road :O and they also handled well !
Deep puddles some mild hydro planning so not too bad

I do not off road so no help there

So a fair price tire IMO a good deal and saving a buck is a bonus LOL

Hope you find this info useful as we all do not want to spend 3 or 400$ on a tire and do not off road but they are made for off road just not 10 ply

Anyone use them ?
If so let me know how you like them in snow and wear!
Thanks

Thanks for the update, as you can see the brand is one of the best tires on the board. Good to have options. I'd buy these instead of yogurt tires this I can tell you. I can say unless you have a reason for a 10ply, consider a more comfortable choice,

I have the Falken Wildpeak AT3, had them for a few years and absolutely love them. I'm sure something like a touring tire would be quieter but that was not my main criteria.

I'll likely be replacing them this fall with the Wildpeak AT4 which replaces the AT3 and comes with a couple improvements.

The Rubitrek also looks like a good tire for all seasons, keep us updated on your experience with them.

My Gladiator Mojave came with Falken Wildpeak 3s, and I am battling radial pull. They are great otherwise.

THANK YOU all for your input !
I have Falken Winterpeak on the car and hey are great in Maine winters and the reviews online for the Rubitrek have been good but getting reviews on a forum come from real people lol and not computer rating them
If I go to a heavier tire I will go to the Wildpeaks

i have had wildpeak at4’s on my truck for the last two years. love them. they are super grippy (is that a word). i have to stomp it to make them spin. if they make a 35x11.50x17 i will be getting them again.

I agree about the grippy term lol My Falkens feel the same to me ! The Rubitrek tires are close to the old AT3 style from what I read

I don't have any experience with the specific Falken's mentioned. I do however have experience with Falken ATs and RTs on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. I absolutely love them. Such a great tire. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. At least not the last time I bought a set. I had been buying Nitto and Toyos prior because of how much both Carli and Thuren praised them on the heavier trucks. Specifically in an MT pattern that I prefer. I became really happy with Nitto Ridge Grapplers(RT). Initially that is. Somewhere a long the line, I feel like the quality went down hill, the mileage went down hill... but the price stayed the same or even went up. So I started looking around and talking to local tire guys. I had one guy suggest the Falken Wildpeak RT and said he's had several guys running Falkens who've been extremely happy. I took a chance on a brand I had never run personally and that was 2 years ago and now even at work I got my boss running them on our work trucks pulling 25k regularly. My new to me half ton just so happen to come with Falkens and I was super happy to see that. In my opinion you can't go wrong with them. My only worry is that we'll see happen to Falkens like what I saw with Toyo and Nitto...

How is the grip and self cleaning in deep clay mud.

 

[Rado]

I have not been in any mud so I am no help on that !
I have not tested them in snow yet either but the reviews about mud and snow have been OK
Curious on what replies you get
