Tires NITTO or NANKANG

I’m running 255/80 17 Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and love em.

I have 35k miles on the Nitto Nomad Grapplers and they’ve done great. They’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them. I would buy another set in a heartbeat.

I got Nittos recently and they’re great! Comparable to falkens and slightly cheaper as well. I havent done any off-roading yet, but they drive well on pavement, and gravel roads such as ones we have here are no issue. More grip than the OEM ones, at least it feels like it.

You want the BEST look it's called Nitto mud Grappler

Tested on a 2018 AMG GT R in Porsche Ring, Audru, Estonia. So far I'm liking the CRS more. Price is the same as Cup 2, but it's faster and doesn't seem to be worse on street.

We also have good experience with Nankang on smaller cars. I have not tried them on bigger cars yet. They are a bit more noisy than the Vitour tires, but the white stripe on them seems to hold up a little bit better. But there is still no problem keeping them white.

CRS and AR1 are great track tyres and so use the AR1 myself.

However, what I think is their UHP road tyre, the NS2 is poor compared to Michelin/bridgestone/Continental offerings.

I’ve got the RG and can confirm comparatively quiet on freeway and not good in the snow or even rain slick slick slick.

I have the nittos as my daily tires, but I autocrosses on them for about 8 events before I got rid of them. Do not get them. They're terrible in the wet, wear very quickly with camber, scream when no where near maximum grip, you can never get them hot enough and I'm pretty sure the sidewalls are 90% jello.

I’ve put 200k plus on ridge grapplers in Wisconsin winters. They are terrible in the snow. Awesome off-road in mud, but not good winter tires.
