Tires BFGoodrich or NANKANG
I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.
BF Goodrich, Michelin tires three years after and at third of the price.
BFGoodrich MT KM3
I run BFG 265R18 Trail Terrains which I’ve put on multiple vehicles. They’re not as noisy as KO2s and are snow rated.
I've always ran BF Goodrich advantage controls, Michelin CrossClimates, Goodyear Eagle RS-A, or Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 for summers only.
Given I get a pretty big discount since I work for a tire shop, it's the experience I've had that makes my opinion. Haven't let me down unless I've done some stupid shit, like burnouts or drifts, and even then I only do when I've got the next set lined up.
BF Goodrich’s Adv Controls are solid
KO2s are great in the snow, not so great on ice.
I got the Falkens and they lasted me like a year. I got the BFGs and I've had them for 2 years and I'm at 70% life
I worked in tire shops for many years and installed many sets of BFG all terrain K02. I used to cringe when I saw these tires on the work order. They are very heavy tires to handle and that weight doesn't help with mounting and balancing. Every time I installed a set of these, there would always be 1 or 2 tires that would ask for an obscene amount of weight when trying to balance. Sometimes as much as 10 ounces on a perfect rim. We would try to promatch them but sometimes they would still want 5-6 ounces. Sometimes we would peel the tire off and try another one from stock if we had more. If we had no other stock, we would slap the weight to it and hope the customer didn't come back with a vibration. Also, everyone I've ever talked to who had these said they turn hard as a rock when they are cold and are terrible on ice.
I've never liked them. Bought one set during a rain storm, literally spun out into the median in front of a Buffalo wild wings while pulling out of discount tire.
