I am planning on buying new tires and have heard mixed reviews about each brand. My options are Nankang, Hankook, or Falkens. I am a daily driver and dont need a track type of tire but at the same time i would like a well performance tire. Can someone help me out and tell me which one is the best of these and how much better Nitto is, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

 

Why are your options limited to those brands?

If you must stick to those... Falken 452's... if those are correct (I can't remember this well).

 

All are poor choices. There are better available for very little more money. Check The Tire Rack.

What's your budget? And are these gonna be on stock wheels?

 

well my budget is around 1800-2000

and no not with stock with different kind of rims

 

Last week I had falken 452's (stock size) installed. Mounted, balanced, and TPMS for $701. That was at a local Big 10 tire. I think they are great for daily driving.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS/D3 are by far a better tire, and what I wanted. But for the $, I settled for the Falken's and I'm very pleased.

 

hmm would you pay $200 more to upgrade to Toyos

 

I'd say Michellin PS2..great handling tires..balanced tires considering handling/performance/ and comfort

 

OK, so what size wheels do you have and/or what size tires are you looking for? Tire size is important in choosing tire brand, because depending on the size, not every company may offer the size(s) you need.

 

i am going 19 inch, the front would be 8 wide and back is 10 wide

measurements are:

front-245/35/19

rear-275/35/19

 

but no where close to the OP's budget

 

8 inch front? why so narrow ?

 

8" front wheel its like your riding on a spare bud i would go with the falken tires if those are your options or pay a little bit more and get some TOYO's

 

OK

First... You should run a 8.5" or 9" wide wheel at the front for that tire size.

Second... Given your budget and choices, I'd recommend the Falken 452 or preferably the Toyo T1R.

 

the rims i want to get come in only 8 inch wide for front....
