Tires NITTO or Kumho
I have Nitto tires and they're great. I drive a lot of rural roads, gravel/sad crumbling asphalt. They've held up. They haven't even gone low in the cold weather at all.
I've had geolanders in the past too and they were also really nice. But the Nittos a slightly less expensive.
Love my Nittos. Much quieter and ride much more like an all season on the highway than Falkens. They’ve been great in the desert, during rain storms, and ice. No change in gas mileage either where I saw a pretty large dip with Wildpeaks.
I put the nitto on 2 weeks ago and very happy with them. Handled a small snow great.
I have a new set of the recon grapplers and they preform very well for what I do.
I used to always run KO2, but now I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Much better tire in my opinion. Not near as much highway noise either.
I was averaging 17.2 with my previous nitto ridge grapplers.
These are nitto neo gens correct? I have a set for my 98 civic I run in the summer my cars curb weight is only 2500 lbs and I don’t have a problem doing 120-130 km/h (75-81 mph) in the rain
I've had cheap Kumho ECSTA AST's. That you get what you paid for, when money is tight. Their ECSTA Platinum LX was a much better tire, and actually didn't have wear issues which the PQ46 chassis is known for (feathering). Decent grip.
I would say you could buy a few thousand large rubber bands and apply them to the wheel to make a better tire than these Kuhmos. Absolutely garbage tire. They transmit way too much vibration from the road to the steering wheel also.
Tell you what I wouldn't recommend: Kumho Solus, thanks to which my car now tends to pull itself in different directions on freeways with the cut-in rain channels.
