Falken Rubitreks

I had Falken M/T’s in 255/85/16s and had 41000 miles on them but decided it was time for a change. They had plenty of tread left but the noise finally broke me. I’ve been doing more highway driving so I decided to go down to stock.

I bought the Falken Rubitreks in 265/70/16s from Simple Tire and I really like them. They look aggressive and handle well. Since I got rid of the big E rated mud tires my truck feels like it’s got some juice. Rubitreks aren’t as common so I just wanted to show some pictures to others who may be interested.

 

So what’s the difference between these and wild peaks ?

 

From what I understand, slight difference in the tread pattern and wild peaks are rated to last 5k more miles. But the Rubitreks are cheaper.

I have the same tire, replaced Wildpeaks with Rubitreks because of price (I paid $156/per tire a year and a half ago). 30k miles so far, they've been great tires.

Thanks for sharing. Not a lot of reviews on this tire. It seems like a good compromise for a slightly more road biased all-terrain tire.

 

That’s awesome! They are great tires for the price point.

 

Definitely and they still are aggressive. They handle great.

 

So, this might interest some of you that are on a budget. Sumitomo makes Falken tires and they just so happen to have a tire that is very, very similar.

I have Rubitreks on my Expedition and they are great. They will be going on the Tacoma when I get enough miles to justify getting rid of the stock Goodyears.

 

I just ordered a set of Rubitrek's last night to replace my Nitto Ridge Grapplers, the belts are shifting and they probably have an easy 50,000 miles and have been on since 2020. I am keeping stock size of 265/70/16.

 

Iv been looking at these as well. Iv seen no negative reviews. Going to upgrade my stock 245/75/16 to a 265/70/16 in these I suppose before winter gets here.

 

I have them in the 265/75-16 flavor, so far they’re great! I got the 116 load rating which seems perfect. They do have a little hum to them but it’s not bad at all. I got them off a store on eBay, I kept an eye on them until I got offered a 100 dollar discount. They ended up costing me around 650 bucks with tax and everything.

 

I have the rubitreks, 245/75/16 xl on my truck. They have just over 10k on them and are wearing good, they are bit noisier than the stock tires that came on the truck. Price point compared to the wildpeak id considerably lower. I got them from tire-easy.com 156$ each free shipping.
