I've run both. Both are good. I prefer the Falken overall due to the directness of the steering feel and how well I can place the car. Nankangs very easy to drive.
I threw some of those on my 2021 Limited. They look good, drive smooth on normal roads, and looking forward to snow in my area to really feel the grip. They are 3PMS rated.
They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.
Can only speak for the nittos personally, but they are a good tire imo. Can never go wrong with a nitto.
Ridge grapplers. I was amazed how quiet they are for 37s, I’ve got about 10k on mine now and they still look new, cool looking tread.
Have 2 other buddies running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 35” and they are a really nice looking tire and so far getting great milage out of them as well.
I had the ridge grapplers and I loved them. Very quiet tire that’s supposedly supposed to last around 40k miles! I only used it in loose sand and no muddy terrain but I was content.
When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.
I have these on my Jeep. They are downright dangerous on anything but dry pavement.
I've had the Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 285/76r16 for about a year and a half now with about 19k miles. I just went in to get them rotated and they told me I should consider new tires, because they're down to 4/32 in the middle and 7/32 along the edge. Of course they also don't have a mileage warranty, so I'm disappointed to say the least and won't be buying them again.
