K02!! If you're OK with less fuel efficiency they're beasts. Never buying a different tire.
Haven't had Falken but I currently have KO2's on my 470. I live near Durango at 8400' and still have 3' of snow. I haven't had any complaints with these tires, on road, off-road, on snow or ice. They perform way better than Yokohama's, or Hankooks in my opinion and I will most likely get them again.
Both great all terrains. Which means, good at most things, great at nothing. Ko2 is the standard for a reason, wildpeaks WERE the more affordable sexy new alternative. Were is the key, not much cheaper like they used to be. Still I got 40k out of mine before going back to ko2s on my gx470. Ko2 is a much better looking tire with a more unique tread pattern that works great in the snow and rain. Not so great in mud, but that’s why they make mud terrains.
KO2s - 50k on my 80 series and still have 8/32nds tread (roughly half way worn). Mileage warranty is 50k. Super quiet compared to other ATs I've tried.
Have the KO2 on my Ram 2500. Better traction than stock on wet pavement, no increase in tire noise and same fuel mileage. Would buy again.
I have run a decent range of all terrains. The KO2's by far performed the best; they were the most quiet, got the best mileage and performed the best offroad, especially when aired down.
NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.
a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II
I have a set of 215/40 18 nankang ns-20's. Tires of course are on the cheaper side but many run them so thats what I went with. They perform fine for daily use and ride alright, however a few months back now I noticed that the driver side tire had some (at the time) small cracks in the sidewall. Thought thats odd but didnt have means to buy new tires so kept driving on them. Of course it got worse and then the passenger front tire began to do the same. This week I threw on a set of steelies and inspected all 4 tires and they all have the same sidewall cracks. The rears not as bad as the fronts but still present. Mainly on the inside of the rear tires, outside and inside of the front tires. Rear tread id say is like 60-70% remaining while the front are maybe 50% or so. Tires are also less than 3 years old with maybe 30k miles. Super frustrating as I have no idea why they did this and are pretty much trash at this point.
Those tires are death traps in snow and ice. No sipes, no studs, hard compound... You're going to be on hockey pucks.
