I purchased these tires in the fall of 2023, being a 3 peak snowflake designation on the tire I thought these tires would be great in the snow. They are far from it, one inch of snow and I have to be in 4 WD or I go nowhere and that's with 500lbs of sand bags over the rear axle. I had BFG AT2's before I bought these and even pulling a double snowmobile trailer I didn't need 4WD in deep snow. I'm going back to BFG'S these Falkens are not worth the money if you live where there's snow
This is my 4th set of Falken all terrain tires. The Rubitreks offer slightly less aggressive tread compared to AT3W s. The rubber is soft and pliable, giving excellent grip, yet last forever. They don't get hard like other brands do over time. Wet, dry and snowy traction is great. Very low rolling resistance and zero road noise.
Excellent tire for grip, looks and performance. But in deep snow 4 wheel drive is still very necessary. I wished there would have been more information out on the Rubitreks so i could make a better informed choice vs the Wildpeaks. The only thing i can decipher is maybe the Rubitreks are more of street tire?? Plywall info would have been nice. I am the first to do a review and I hope to see more I have the 235-75-15 on a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I have tested them with a heavy load in the cargo area going up a steep hill in 4-5 inches of snow for one block from a stop in 2 wheel drive and it made it. The Falken Rubitreks chugged for grip but tracked straight. I found on dead ice it grips but it followed the road angle on breaking. The tires have only been installed for one week but i hope this info helps in your decision.
