So I've had my ranger about a month, I knew when I bought it that the OEM Hankook Dynapros were on their way out. (~40k miles and tread is pretty thin at the edges). I was going to pick up some Falken Wildpeaks (265 60 R18) @$265 a piece but found the Falken Rubitreks (265 60 R18 as well) @185 a piece.
I'm currently awaiting delivery and then I'll install them.
That said I can't find any opinions on these tires that aren't canned website articles that don't seem to be based on real usage but rather assumed performance based on specs/marketing. Example: https://comparethetire.com/falken-wildpeak-at3w-vs-falken-rubitrek-at/
From everything I can gather they're very similar to the Wildpeaks. With a few differences the main one being the gap between the blocks is smaller, meaning more contact when on flat solid terrain (roads) but less ability to dig in on loose ground (mud/dirt). However the differences are supposedly negligible.
My last truck had KO2's and while they were great for traction they really hurt fuel economy, had tons of noise, and had heavy vibration past 60mph. Hoping these fair better.
That said, anyone have any opinions on these tires? I'm curious about both on road and off road (nothing crazy mostly service trails and such), also interested in Road Noise, and Fuel Economy.
