These tires are a "House" brand and marketed towards the budget shopper. However, it's totally possible these tires are made by a manufacturer which would charge a good bit more to display their name upon it. House brands can be hit or miss and can change from one year to the next.

I wouldn't be surprised if a manufacturer such as Tireco, Kumho or Falken were the manufacturer of this tire.

 

From some quick searching around, I found Discount Tire responded on a Toyota forum and stated GITI is the manufacturer of the tire. GITI is based in Singapore with manufacturing all over the world including a facility in the USA. I dont know which tires from their lineup are made where

 

I think I read somewhere that they were made by Sumitomo, but they could have been talking about the old Falken Rocky Mountain All Terrain.

 

I apologize I can't directly address the OP's question.

Here is what I can contribute, though.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires are really fantastic. I run 29" versions on my 2022 Ford Maverick and 33" versions on my 2011 Xterra Pro-4x

On the Ford Maverick they'll get me through just about anything the little truck can take. If the Maverick has ground clearance (8.3-8.5"), the Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires WILL GET IT DONE.

I'm a snowboarding addict that chases snowstorms in the Rocky Mountains for fresh powder. The Wildpeaks have never let me down in some of the worst winter weather mother nature can throw at you. 4x4 with snow tires or chains required? EZ peasy with Wildpeak At3ws (and 4x4). They've also performed really well in mud and sand.

Admittedly at 30,000 miles the tires are at 5/32nd or 6/32nds tread and starting to show a little bit of shakiness in the snow this year.


On my Xterra I've not driven in the snow with my Wildpeaks too much but off-road they've been fantastic. Never been short on traction. The limiting factor has always been ground clearance and/or the drivers bollocks.


Basically I'm saying they're absolutely worth every penny. If you can strech your budget you absolutely won't be disappointed.

 

@Destro the Rocky Mountain tire is in fact made by GITI and the Falken Wildpeak is made by Sumitomo. The Rocky Mountain is marketed as a Better category in the Good/Better/Best. Out of 97 consumers, they recommend the tire at 100%. The tire is for the budget conscience customer but delivers high marks across the board. Rest assured, if you are not completely satisfied with the tires, bring them back. We have a 30 day ride guarantee. Let us know if we may assist you through the forum by sending us a DM, we would love to help.

 

Thanks!

 

I'm going with the Falkens. Didn't want to spend that much, but I figured it was better to go with the name brand.

 

I'm very picky about my tires and do a lot of research. I am running my 3rd set of Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 265 /75 R16 116T SL RBL, 2nd set on the X and first set on the new Ram truck.
I run them hard at low pressures off road. I never rebalanced the first set and they had cuts in the side walls and chunks missing in the tread and they still ran smooth and balanced on the freeway at high speeds on long trips in the hot desert and cold mountains.
Traction is good on wet and dry pavement, dirt, mud, sand and snow. I have towed a 5000lb. trailer thousands of miles with the X. The tires say made in Japan by sumitomo. Discount Tire shows 55,000 mile warranty but I never get that many miles because of my "driving technique".

As long as this continues and the tires continue to be made in Japan by sumitomo I will keep buying them. Hope that helps.

 

I just went through the tire replacement decision on my stock 2012 Xterra Pro4x with 70,000 miles. I am the second owner. The first owner replaced the factory Rugged Trails with another set of Rugged trails from Wally World. I chose the Wildpeak AT3W in the stock size and couldn't be happier. They look bigger without the mileage penalty of actually being bigger. Acceleration seems the same. They are just as quiet and smooth on road as the Rugged Trails. The only downside is these tires throw more sand and rock with their aggressive tread, so I hear that debris hitting the wheel wells.

I did replace my twelve year old spare tire with the Rocky Mountain tire. I hope to never use it, but it looks more capable than the Rugged Trails with it's tread pattern. If I had a budget truck, I'd certainly consider the Rocky Mountains.

And it looks like my Xterra goes thru SL tires in 35 to 40,000 miles despite the tire mileage claim. I think that real world info is important as people make tire choices that will exceed $1000.
