Tires Falken or NANKANG

I have 3 sets of wheels+tires.

Nankang NS-2R for track on Teamdynamics

Just bought 4 Falken wild peaks 265/75r16 116T for $188 a piece on Amazon from simple tire. If you want a beefy look and you don't do major off roading these are great.

Was able to get Falkens this year and they are amazing for me. Less initial bite than the nexens but way more grip if you lean into it instead of snapping the wheel.

I’ve had quite a few and overall, my favorite is the Falkin Wildpeak AT3. They’re the most aggressive looking, deeper tread than some, good warranty, reasonable priced, lightweight compared to a K02 and also a light quieter on road than a K02.

Ran falkens on my last 2 trucks, loved them the whole time

Falken tires are amazing! Sumitomo Heavy Industries, yo. Didn't use the Falken all-seasons that long, because I sold the car.

Had BF for a while and switch to Falken 2 years ago. I find falken are quiet and better on snow and ice.

I’m on my 3rd set of Falken AZENIS RT615K+ (I have two sets mount right now, one set has been to the dragon twice now. The other set is brand new on a set of LMs I haven’t run yet) First set I had I racked up about 20k miles in 2019 and 2020. I hit Wookies, alpine vagfair, spring breakdown, Radwood Detroit, EuroSummit, trips all over for daily driving. Rain isn’t a concern at all, standing water, slushy rain the tire is phenomenal as shown this past weekend at the tail of the dragon.

I've run both tires on 18x8.5. The falken 215/40's were smaller than the 205/40 AS-1's..I rubbed hard with the As-1's The AS-1's are a pretty true to size. I know what you are trying to do, and the AS-1's won't help. Edit: this is the best picture I have to show how true the tires are..as you can see it's not a great looking tire for the size.

Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
