About the Falken Rubitrek A/T

All-Weather All-Terrain Passenger Light Truck/SUV tire.

Features

* Outer apex sidewall features a secondary bead apex that acts as a heat shield to protect the internal casing of the tire* 3D canyon sipe technology* Aggressive upper sidewall along with offset shoulder blocks* Silica tread compound* Heat diffuser technology in the lower sidewall* Rugged & rigid tread blocks feature support ramps and step‐down features* Deepest tread in the category (LT sizes, 20/32nds in inches)* Carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol* 55,000 Mile Limited Tread Life Warranty

Benefits

* Results in confident handling and durability with the added benefit of sidewall protection on rough roads and trails* Interlocks the shoulders to resist wear from high torque as well as providing additional handling stability* Protect from sharp rocks and provide additional off‐road traction at low tire pressures or in off‐camber situations* Delivers superior wear life and wet performance (non‐LT sizes)* Dissipates heat ensuring vehicle stability even when towing or carrying heavy loads* Provide tread-pattern rigidity in the contact patch enhancing vehicle stability and handling, while also preventing stones from becoming trapped in the grooves* Provides long lasting wear as well as consistent snow and hydroplane resistance throughout the life of the tire* Meets the required performance criteria for Use in Severe Snow Conditions

Understanding the 285/70R17 size

In the size code 285/70R17, 285 is the section width in millimetres (about 11.2"). 70 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 70% of the width, or roughly 199.5 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 32.7".

The load index 117 means each tire supports up to 2,833 lbs — about 11,332 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Falken Rubitrek A/T is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 A B. The treadwear grade of 600 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $192.75 per tire, a full set of four costs $771.00. That is about 16% below the average price of the 135 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $14.02 per 1,000 miles across the set.
