Falken Rubitrek FTW!

[E.Hands]

Just installed Rubitreks in place of the factory Bridgestone Duelers at 50,000 miles. And boy what a difference! These things are smooth as butter, quiet and a better looking tire to boot! 275/60R20 I went with the 60 series aspect ratio because the 55 seemed too low in profile. That may have contributed to the improved ride.

Are those new? They have not been on my radar and look very similar to the hankook dynapro ATMs that I loved on my jeep. The wildpeak at3 was just a bit too aggressive since i only need the snow ability and dont off road. Was planning on going with firestone at2 but these look a lot better visually.

They are great tires. Slightly less aggressive than the WildPeak AT3 but rated much better in handling, comfort and noise by Falken themselves! Check out their website.

Nice! How is the pricing of those?

 

[E.Hands]

About the same as Michelins but I believe the quality is on par as well. Aggressive look but with excellent highway characteristics.

I absolutely love the WildPeak AT3 though. We have them on my wife's Jeep and I had them on mine too.
If these are even close to those, they're going to be great tires.

Looks like they came out in 2019ish but are only available from certain retailers.

What is the difference between these and the OEM ORP ATW3A's?

 

[Shots]

Not much really. The A/T3WA is basically the the AT Trail sold as an Original Equipment tire for the Ram 1500, and Mercedes G-Class.
Falken doesn't list any specs on the A/T3WA, but they do for the AT trail which is rated the same on all aspects as the Rubitrek. The key difference being that it has additional values given for comfort and fuel efficiency, which suggests they had to have those results to be used as an OEM part. Purely speculation though.
At the end of the day, they're pretty much the same tire with a different name as far as I can tell.

The OEM AT3wA and the Rubitreks share similar tread design than that of the aftermarket/off-the-shelf AT3w. AT Trail should not be considered for full size trucks as they are geared towards crossovers, SUVs, or compact trucks, even though they look similar in tread design.

The OEM AT3wA has to meet certain criteria limits for noise, comfort, handling, MPG (among others) in order to be equipped on vehicles from the factory. As such, the tread design is revise to meet those thresholds. The Rubitreks has a more aggresive shoulder rib in comparison to the AT3wA. This can play a part in additional noise than the AT3wA but technically should be quieter than the regular AT3w (with the entire tread being considered). I do have to point out a key factor with considering the Rubitreks.

The Rubitreks are not sold by every vendor and as such, must be kept in mind prior to purchase. If you are local to your tire seller or this seller has multiple stores wherever you travel to, then the Rubitreks can your choice tire, breaking away from the Wildpeaks in the area. However, if you happen to live where they are not locally available and you need a replacement right away, it would be best to stick with the Wildpeak AT3w as those will be more accessible than the Rubitreks.

I just drove to my local Tire Coice service center (National chain store) and they had 4 in stock. No ordering necessary!

I don't have a longhorn and not a fan of interior colors other than black but that is beautiful!

I'm not sure what those pics have to do with Falken tires, but that sub box is pretty nice. It looks like it covers the doors to the Ram bins. Was that a mistake?

 

[E.Hands]

It makes it a little difficult but they are still accessible. With as little as I use them, I feel it was worth the sacrifice.

I can't believe u got 50,000 miles out of your O.E.M. Bridgestone Duelers ! They really aren't bad. They've been good this winter in MN. I was hoping to get 40,000 miles out of them & then replace them.

I had to move them around a lot because for some reason I have yet to figure out, my truck EATS up the outside of the right front tire. If it wasn't for that would still be running them because the rest of tread wasn't at the wear indicators yet.
I had the alignment checked at three different places. Once at the dealership and twice at different independent shops.
They've all said that it's in spec...

AT3WA's at 30K miles and down to the block connectors. Dangerous hydroplaning, may groove out the connectors to use to the wear bars.
