I've pulled many screws out of the tread, but NEVER had a puncture. Partially because of ply, partially because they are a thick M/T tire. so you won't have any issues with rough ride them either. Once aired down, they are PLENTY squishy offroad. so my outside edges have worn more quickly. Where is always uneven with a cheap lift. They'll still corner well, its the evasive back and forth or steering under hard braking that causes them to wander. But never felt sketchy or out of control in ANY way. Along with being a tall tire on a 7in wheel. Those are some big blocks of rubber to wiggle around. I mean, their M/T, so it isn't AWESOME when new. jarring bumps still jar the truck, swooping dips still display our awesome rear springs.

I can't say the ride feels any rougher than with the OEM. At 60lbs, they fall between the lightweights of 58/59 (mostly agressive A/T) and heaviest of 67-73 (Falken, Nitto, & General) And are among the lightest in the 285 M/T group. It'll simply let the suspension work quicker. I'd think the lighter tire would ride better, despite any harsh/hardness of the higher ply. are you looking at 2 different tires here, or a load rating option of the same tire? I just wanted to share the bits that might be similar or help. I'm side tracking from the 17s, and specific options/questions about them. Though most wheels are wider, so not sure I want a skinnier tire on a wider wheel. If I were running titan swap, or wider offset wheels I'd consider them MORE. but they all weigh less (6 to 17lbs, which is obviously affected by the actual height too). Height is kind of a wash, as it falls into the variance within the 285 options. and its odd that some are more $$$, others less $$$ when compared to the same tire in a 285/75. The 255/85 are DEFINITLY limited in options. but tires tend to be $150-$200 more per 4 in the 17in size vs 16in. If I had a set of Rubicon take-offs, I'd ease into it $$$-wise. but the tires are also more expensive too. Yeah, I debated going to 17s purely for tire options. I think the only C-rated tires are the less aggressive ones, which I'm not even considering. which haven't failed me, and haven't killed my mileage or ride either. Maybe - Falken Wildpeak M/T01 255/85 - $214 - 51lbs - 33.1inĬurrently running E-rated BFG KM2s. Short - Cooper Evolution - $206 - 56lbs - 32.83in Wear Quickly - Milestar Paragonia M/T - $174 - 63lbs - 33.1in Specs from ĮDIT: Apparently the forum won't let me past in the 'code' of a spreadsheet, so here's just the top contenders. and its easier to see when the color coding and 'conditional formatting' colors based on height/weight/cost. Maybe I've just looked in the wrong places. In my size, you don't really get an option on ply, that I've seen. I'm really not sure how precise those measurements are, especially between different brands. At least both are WAY lighter than the Nittos and Generals. 2, I wonder if that's partially why its 5lbs lighter than the Yokohama Geolander G003 thats currently in top running. The Cooper Evolution is still in my consideration (mainly because of cost). I'm currently shopping the 16in brother of those. ( At the rate my tires are wearing I may need to swap them due to rot before tread loss) With that being shared, the tire I posted in my link may be my next choice.
#RUBITRACK VS WILDPEAK UPGRADE#
However, I might try something different to upgrade the appearance of my X. Accept this detail when I say they handled these conditions just fine. I've only been in snow with these tires a couple times and never in anything more than a couple inches deep. In wet weather these tires handle very well and provide a great deal of confidence in their ability to deliver me home safely.

The Wildpeaks ride quietly at hwy speeds and make very little noise when rolling at parking lot speeds. I've put apx 25,000 miles on my tires, and they look as though they could last for another 50K miles.ĭuring my time of ownership I have had no bad experiences in which to share.Įven today, these tires are wearing evenly and tracking true. As an owner of a set of 265/75-16 Wildpeak AT3W's, I can at least provide a long term update.
