    Yes, I would like to know who has or is running them too.

    Big Brand Tire just quoted me $633 for 4 tires, mounted and balanced. Of course, along with the California Disposal and Tire taxes.

    I just swapped to Wildpeak A/T3W in 265/75r16 and I definitely notice the Rubitreks rolled easier on the 4 cylinder.

    @Tacos+Burritos - Can I ask why you decided to go with the Wildpeak's this time around? Looking to upgrade my stock tires and trying to decide what to go with. Heavy emphasis on great New England snow/ice traction, driving mostly North of Boston and Southern Maine. You were happy with the snow performance of the Rubiteks it seemed?

    great question. i just found that finding a vendor for Wildpeaks was easier than for Rubitreks. I definitely consider myself a snob when it comes to tires and the Rubitreks blew my snow performance expectations out of the water. It’s definitely not a Subaru with Hakkapalitas, but it’s way better of an upgrade over stock or any other A/T tire I think.

    Thanks for the info! Think I’m really interested in trying these Rubitreks then. I’ll have to see how hard they are to find in the Boston area. Have you experienced any snow with the Wildpeaks yet for comparison purposes?? Thanks again for your input.

    The Rubitreks I had to head to CarID.com to get. I haven’t experienced any snow with the Wildpeaks yet but my dad has with his F350 and loves them.

    I plan to install these on my '16 SR5 with stock wheels and suspension. (if I can get them from NTB)
    Do you run a lift or the SR stock suspension?... If so, have you experienced any rub?

    I’m still on stock suspension and 265/75r16 on stock steel rims. Have never had a single rubbing issue with either the Rubitreks I had before nor the Wildpeaks I am running on now. I feel like that should be the tire size from the factory. The ride quality is a noticeable improvement.

    Thank you.
    BTW... which set will you recommend?

    I do 80/20 on road/off road with one or two snows per season. (Eastern Virginia)

    From my experience, the Rubitreks are definitely better suited for the 4-banger. The Wildpeaks are noticeably heavier and more rolling resistance. I was beyond impressed how the Rubitreks handled New England snowstorms. The Wildpeaks are wearing out faster than I would have expected. The only category the Wildpeaks won for me is appearance. My next set will likely be Rubitreks again.

    Same here. I’ve been stalking these tires on Amazon for months. Waiting for more to be in stock.

    I popped a tire last week (thank you Virginia DOT and and your inability to properly mend the roads) so I resorted to purchase a cheap-Chinese-no-namey for thetime being.

    Any more wear and performance updates on the Rubis? Think I'm pulling the trigger on some this weekend.

    I've had them on my 4 cyl diesel van for about a year. I've driven in mud, snow, gravel, and a road trip from the west coast to Michigan. I'm very happy with the performance (noise, wear, traction). I expect I'll probably buy them for my other two vehicles when needed. 235/75R15 109T
