Both the tires offer aggressive upper sidewall protection through balanced shoulder blocks that not only help cut through trails more effectively but, also protect the sidewall, especially when driving under low tire pressure.īoth the tires with their updated technology and challenge-ready tread help conquer almost any terrain on a hardcore truck or SUV. Rugged and rough tread blocks offer excellent ground piercing abilities that help in mud or rock-ridden terrain.
Both tires have the deepest treads in the segment. The Rubitrek and Wildpeak offer excellent performance off- the road. This makes the Rubitrek’s last slightly longer and in addition, makes it a better road tire but more on that later. The center blocks on the Rubitrek’s tread are closer to each other than center blocks on the Wildpeak’s tread. However, the Falken Rubitrek has an upper hand in treadwear by a slight margin. A Silica rubber compound makes the Rubitrek and Wildpeak last pretty long. They also enhance handling and stability.īoth the tires feature offset shoulder blocks on the upper sidewall that form a strong shield to protect the most vulnerable part of the tire (the sidewall) from sharp objects on challenging terrain. Rigid tread blocks with support ramps and step-down features help prevent stones from getting stuck in the grooves. Both tires are sturdy and durable in their construction. They’re both AT tires and the technology that has gone into making these tires is the same too so one could expect a similar rate of treadwear. Treadwearįalken Rubitrek and Falken Wildpeak have a very similar tread pattern. While the two tires are almost identical, there are a few subtle differences that make them behave differently under varying conditions.
Unsurprisingly, the three peak mountain snow symbol is present on the Wildpeak too. In terms of vehicle compatibility too, this tire goes well with medium to large-sized pickup trucks and SUVs. Otherwise, the Wildpeak is all about conquering any type of terrain- be it snow, mud, or rocky terrain. However, there are a few points that make it different. Meant for all-weather rugged capability, the Wildpeak is very similar to the Rubitrek.
