I have a set on a 2010 Tacoma . They have been rotated every 6000 miles. There’s a bit of a rumble , but are great on all surfaces. I’d definitely recommend them & will buy another set.
I was waiting for the follow up glad to see you didn't forget lol. I've had the privilege of owning both at3w on my previous jeep compass and rubitrek on my wk2: grand cherokee and in dry surface i feel the run the same but on wet roads during and after rain i feel less confident with the rubitreks
Thanks for the update. I ordered these for my 2016 F-150 XLT 4x4 and proceeded to head down a rabbit hole, which lead me to your earlier review. They've yet to be installed thanks to a shipping delay for two of the tires, but I remain hopeful that they'll serve me well here in the oft frigid and icy Northeast. As an aside, I spent more than three years in Twin Falls as an editor and columnist at the newspaper there. I enjoyed southern Idaho -- the people and the fly fishing, alike.
I am one of the unlucky guys who thought he was buying a great tire in the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. Well, good offroad, but more and more noisy and it is getting deafening. SO, I am now interested in the Rubitreks and your review is going to help me a lot when I get new tires next year. Thank you for this information.
The rubitreks on my sequoia are about 5 years old now, I have only had the vehicle for a year and a half but they have done great so far. We had a severe ice storm last January and they didn’t let me down once. I even had to stop on an incline and in 4hi with my diff unlocked I was able to start again without slipping. I had one slight slip on a corner where there was standing water over ice that had melted and re freezed but that’s the only loss of traction i have experienced in the entire time I have owned my vehicle. They also do well in the rain we see here all the time in western Oregon. I will say this though, a lot of Toyota people say the first gen sequoias are very good snow rigs so some of that may be my vehicle itself. They are a little noisy between 40-45 mph but anything over that and wind noise is higher than the sound of the tires. I have gone up a lot of gravel and dirt roads as well as going over some smaller rock gardens (up to basketball sized rocks) without any issues, they do pick up a lot of small rocks though which is annoying. I haven’t aired down yet so I’m not sure how durable the sidewalls are against pinch tears or anything like that yet but these tires have held their air pressure between 34-35 psi since I have bought them without re filling them. I run a 2” on my vehicle and 285/70/17s in the E load rating.
Dude, I love the honesty! You remind me of my brother with the tire rotation😂 I’m OCD on routine maintenance but I tear all my trucks down and rebuild them with aftermarket parts🤷🏻♂️ I enjoy your videos! 👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
That's funny about the AT3W experiences, I've used them for snow wheeling for almost 3 winters in Alaska now, along with a fair amount of my friends. Nobody I know with an 8 or 10 ply tire has had any issues. When I used them for summer wheeling, I was super rough on them against rocks and the like and even had a tear in one but it wasnt deep enough to lose any air. From my experience, they've been pretty strong. Granted that's just me and my friends. But yeah as far as really slippery snow or ice goes, I think your use of chains is appropriate. Studded tires or chains are probably the best option there.
I have the falken wildpeak at3. Had em for almost 6 years and have taken them through some nasty stuff. Still have tread and still grabbing the trail with no issues. Although the age is showing. It’s showing cracks everywhere so new tires soon!
I just put the Rubitreks on a first gen Explorer in size LT315/75R16 on a 16x8 rim. I am surprised at how wide these ran, much wider than the same size Coopers I had on a Suburban. Only had them for about 200 miles...had massive rain storms a little over a week ago and they were great on this lightweight rig in the rain. I always put LT tires on my rigs....The heavier the tire the more rubber and belts to ward off punctures and cuts. I'm not worried about mileage and adjust my ride quality by what PSI I run. It would be interesting to find out if the Falkens that were having sidewall failures were LT rated or the standard load rating. There is a huge amount of sidewall rubber thickness between the two.
Got em on the strength of your original review. Believe or not I think they’re a little loud. Not bad just a little more than I expected. Lost a bit of mileage. Found that the speedo is more accurate, probably due to Toyota’s running a bit low. (Using both gps and those radar speed indicators around). Given that the diameter is a little different I got the spare also. Paid the same now as you did 2 years ago. And they do look good. Thanks
Interesting! Thanks for commenting. My speedometer is reading a little low after going up in tire size, and of course the odometer is also a little low.
@@208Tyler I meant the speedometer probably read a little high from the factory. That's always been my experience. I'll have to do some more checks. I've only had them for a couple of months and I drive conservatively. (wasn't always that way. I got eleven tickets one year in my twenties😂😂😂).
I just put on a set of BFG K03 on my 01 Tundra, really like them so far. I went with these over the Falkens because BFG has always been known for their side wall durability and I never had a flat on multiple sets of K02’s. Also they’re lighter than the Falkens and were not that much more money from a Big O or Costco
I’m not sure what size your comparing, but I went through tiresize.com and big O Only saw 3 listed sizes on tire size.com for the K03 Chose LT 285/70/R17 to compare to the Rubitrek. K03: $312 per tire and $60 rebate (total, not per tire) currently @ Big O. Same on tire size . com Rubitrek: $242 per tire in the same size Cost for 4 tires. BFG: $1188 after rebate Falken: $968 K03: 56 lbs Rubitrek: 51.4 lbs tiresize.com/tires/Falken/Rubitrek-AT-285-70R17.htm tiresize.com/tires/BFGoodrich/All-Terrain-TA-KO3-285-70R17.htm The BFG’s are not lighter than the Falkens, at least not in that size. “Not much more money” is subjective, but if I’m shelling out an extra $200, ya, I would hope they’re a better tire
I've had mine on my 2020 Tundra now for 17,000 miles. Your assessment is spot on all the way around I think. The only thing I differ on is the road noise. They aren't egregiously loud, but they are louder than what I had, which was the OEM Michelin LTX AT. Additionally, my truck is much newer than yours and it is a 1794, so I'm sure there is much more sound deadening and I would notice it much more. They have been good for the $, but I'm not sure right now if I will buy another set, for this truck anyway. I think I lost maybe .5 mpg; not really noticeable. I might throw some on my 4Runner, but it is a few years away from needing tires and there might be something else I'd rather have by then.
@@208Tyler By the way, thank you so much for actually coming back with a review on these after some time has passed. That is what makes a good review and reviewer. Keep up the down to earth, great reviews.
I’m debating if I should go with the standard or LT tires. I do tow up to 10,000 occasionally so the LT would be safer but the standard ones are rated for 2,800 per tire I think so I’m still covered
The trouble with the at3w being failed disproportionately could simply because they are disproportionately more popular. You said it yourself in previous video, they were the most popular tires, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that more people use them so more people fail,with them. Without all the statistics, it’s impossible to say
Tyler, I’m a little torn between buying the Rubitreks or go with the A/T4W’s. I drive a 2500 Ram and mostly highway miles but I do pull a 30’ travel trailer that weights 8000 lbs. My tire size is a LT275/70R18. The Rubitreks weight 56 lbs and the A/T4W weights 60 lbs so not a lot of difference between the two. If you’d please throw in your 2 cents I’d appreciate it. Thanks, I really like your reviews.
The AT4W is a newer tire that’s *probably* a better design. I could see it possibly being noisier than the rubitrek, but that’s speculation. If money’s no object I’m trying out the AT4W, personally
@ Thanks Tyler, I was leaning that way but was torn. The price is roughly $15 a tire difference so when you consider 60,000 Mike warranty that’s not a big difference. I’ve seen several TH-cam videos and most are reporting that they aren’t too loud. That’s my biggest concern between the two. Once I purchase and have enough driving time with them I’ll report back with what I think. Thanks again.
I just doubled checked and the price on TireRack the Rubitreks are $293 and the AT4W’s are $308 so I still will have to get them mounted but still fairly close in price.
I got the Rubiteks after watching your video. I put them on a Mitsubishi SUV. I love them.
Thank you
That's good to hear! I'm glad you've had a good experience with them.

Good review! Son got at4w. Standard 109.Wow so smooth compared to my open range E range.120. Both asian made.
Pretty sure Im getting these as soon as the street tires on my 06 Tundra wear out...Thanks for the awesome review.
Sweet! Hope they treat you well

Ya. AT3W still has an overall strong rep as far as I can tell.
Ya man. Once you hit anything that’s packed down and slick it gets tough fast

Feel free to read through the post that I linked, but I believe that one of the commenters on that post had punctured his Load Range E AT3W’s 5 times
