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.

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.

How are they in the rain?

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 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.

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!

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

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 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 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...

" 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.

They're the same compound. Just a slightly different mold. The Rubi was created for a special market, and that's why they're not as widespread. Grab whichever is cheaper. They drive and wear the same.

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 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'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!

Unfortunately, they were different sizes on different vehicles. Probably the Rubitrek, but I don’t think there’s a big difference

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.

Good info thanks.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

According to what I can find, the Passenger and LT tires have the same kinds of warranties. I was looking at AT3W's and Rubitreks to find that.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I have no complaints about snow performance. I just drove to work today in them after getting 8” of snow and they seem fine. Ice is never gonna be that good. All Terrains aren’t gonna outperform winter tires.

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.

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.

The HT will get better mileage. Rubitreks aren’t bad. But they’ll be worse than the HT

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.

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.

No, I did not. I put on 235 86 16. I like the size, it’s an inch bigger. The speedo would be off by like 2-4% I think.

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

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 😢

Well, we’ll give it a shot! It doesn’t hurt to put a little more info out there

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.

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

I've got over 30k miles on my nexens and the only problem is that they don't make my truck any heavier haha. Aluminum body f150s have notoriously bad wet weather, unloaded, handling characteristics. So the only option to make one handle better isn't tires, it's just a couple hundred pounds in the bed to keep the thing planted or you'll spin it out at 20mph on an on-ramp.

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

No, looking at images, the sidewall/shoulder patterns match the Wildpeak design, not the Rubitrek. Unless you can get me a link to a look-alike, everything I’m seeing looks like a Wildpeak derivative, not a Rubitrek copy.

Interesting, I looked thru the TR under the Falken brand and they don't seem to have the Rubitreck. which I found it odd. but they had this other one that looked like it to me but I could be wrong, Thanks for the content I'm trying to decide the next tires for the wife's expedition, I live in SE Idaho so it's nice to get content from a fellow Idahoan

These or the nexen atx?

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.

I had the same questionabout these tires. So I did some research. The A/T3WA's are an OEM tire and Toyota uses them on there 2022 and newer Tundra TRD 4X4's and TRD Pro. I know this because I have 2022 Tundra Limited 4X4 with Yokohama street tires. I was going to buy a set until I found out what the difference was. It looks similar but it's lighter, the side lugs are thin like you would find on cheaper off brand A/T tire and a softer sidewall, 2 ply I believe. In my opinion, Toyota contracted with Falken to make a lighter tire for better fuel economy and look like an A/T tire and definitely advise not using it for Off Road use. Also I just recently came across an individual on KZread who has done a comparison between the differences of the A/T3WA and the A/T3W. I have not had the chance to view the video yet. Hope this little bit of info helps.

@@stevenbruck46 thanks for the reply Steve. In all honesty, an offroad looking tire that is best suited for the street is perfect for my particular application. I’ve got a little over 6k miles on my A/T3WAs and I’ve been pretty happy. Some snow driving that they’ve done well in. But mostly just pavement. One long road trip and one short road trip. Nice smooth and quiet. Fuel mileage has been basically right in line with the highway tires that these replaced. I’ve been happy with these tires. Do you have the title if that video you mentioned so I can search for it?

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

No complaints so far!

I have been looking at so many different AT tires, for mostly on road but some off road, with heavy importance places on snow and ice in the winter and wet roads in the spring and summer, for I live in mountainy ski country, though in summer it can be very hot and very dry. I am leaning strongly towards the Falken Wildpeak AT3W, but want to get more input on BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, Cooper Discoverer AT3, Firestone Destination AT3 and Toyo Open Country AT3. But I am leaning strongly towards the Wildpeak. Ironic, but I can't even find the Falken Rubitrek on the discount tire website. Do you have any thoughts on the above other options? Until I get my new suv or pickup I am for now driving a used 2003 Jeep Liberty, with tires size 235/70 R16.

I have not gotten a chance to test the BFG’s or Toyos or Firestones, but I’m not a fan of the cooper’s. The Rubitrek is less widely available than the AT3W.

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.

that's the same size I was hoping for! harder to find than it should be. I've been looking at the new Duratrac RTs but there are hard to find. So might stick with stock wildpeaks or rubitreks or bite the bullet and get the 255/80s

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

I have the rubitreks on my taco. I'm 99% highway driving but my camp is a mile on an unmaintained road and then a steep driveway. They've not let me down. I bought them because my preferred shop didn't have the A/T3W in stock and couldn't tell me when they would be back. I would buy either tire when these wear out.

I replied to @rocketcity4x449 in the comments on the same question. It's an OEM tire that as far as I know is only being on Toyota's Tundra 4X4 OffRoad and TRD Pro Trucks. I know this because I have a 2022 Toyota Tundra Limited 4X4 was deciding whether to buy a set and then decided to do some research first. I came across an individual on KZread who has a video comparing the difference between the A/T3WA and the A/T3W. Do a search and you find it, hope this helps with your question.

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.
