Default Falken Wild Peaks vs. Falken Rocky Mountain ATS

Looking at new tires for my 2011 Rubicon, and had learned about the Falken tires both from the JK Experience posts and from other members. Both look, from my research to fit in the same general category as the Nitto Terra Grapplers - 60/40 Road/Play.

Curious if anyone has opinions of the differences between Falken's positioning of the Rocky Mountain ATS versus the Wild Peak. I am finding about a $50 difference between the two (RM ATS - $182, WP - $230), and as I am buying 5 of these am trying to determine if the $250 is worth it.

Love the team's thoughts.

Been real happy.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure. I would bet that Falken has a plan somewhere, and actually both tires were listed on Discount Tire Direct. Very glad to hear that you are having a good experience with the Rocky Mountains.

Thanks,
DP

Just spoke to Jim at DTD - completely great guy! Found out that there is another plus to being a JK forum member - $50 off any set of 5 tires

Ordered 5 Rocky Mountain ATS, no tax, free shipping, no hassles - and EXACTLY the same tires as the Falken Wildpeaks! Wish everything could be this easy.
