New Tires: Falken Rubitrek?

I need to replace my Chevy Colorado truck tires. My current Falken Wildpeaks are getting pretty thin on tread. They have performed rally well on a lot of trails and unmaintained roads. They don't make the same AT3W anymore and I don't like the new upgraded version, so I've spent the last few days looking at these primary alternatives:

- Falken Rubitrek
- Toyo Open Country ATIII
- Yokohama Geolander A/T4

My primary focus is always tire traction/performace on wet roads, snow and ice, so I look for tires with a lot of siping and softer rubber compounds that can do a lot of highway driving and get me up and down jeep trails. For lack of a better word...hybrid.

Not a lot of information on the Rubitrek but it is similar to the Wildpeaks I have now and they've been great on highways, horrible roads and trails. I found reviews on both the Toyo and Yokohama claiming wet and snow traction could be or needs to be improved.....and that is always a deal killer for me, so I keep coming back to the Falken Rubitrek.

Anyone have first hand experience with the Falken Rubitrek? Thanks.
 
check out Nokian tires, made in Finland, been using them for about 4 years now. Great on ice and snow and pretty smooth for a 10 ply
Thanks for the recommendation. I had Nokian tires on a Volvo years ago and they didn't work out well but I'll take another look.
