Someone tried to tell me that Nitto555 are better tires than FK 452 Falkens, but review I read say that Falken are a smoother ride and grip better in rain.

Has anyone had any problems with vibration or problems balancing there wheels with either of these tires?

And I know people are going to jump all over me, but what about NANKANG
Tires? Has anyone had any experience with these?

I think you'd be better off posting in the Tires and wheels subforum. You might find the answer easier there.

something tells me the nitto will perform better on a track or high heat.

I have the falken and although they are probably smoother, they dont have that kind of grip for track.

nitto is better in summer time and track, plus it has a longer tread life.
but i'm switching over to Falken 452 cause its a smoother ride.

I used to have the Nitto555's on my Supra. It was pretty noisy (compared to the BFG KWD's I have now), but the thread lasted about twice as long.

They also gripped fairly good with the 400rwhp my Supra puts down. I can't comment much on the rain.

i had the nitto 555 for about 4 years and man that grip really well..but when it rain i dont even want to drive around with it tailwhipping every corner i turn...but now i got some toyo and man i felt the grip wasnt the same but it sure was quiet inside... love it as a crusier and the raining season it works pretty well... imo nitto = track / summer

Nitto's 555 last longer and more pleasing to the eye. Sidewall looks nicer and better rim guard. Falken sidewall "pinched" or split near the tire and rim on 3 tires, Nitto's were fine.

in comparison to whats offered by other tire companies, they are both garbage...

True, but most of us are in the under $200 per tire range. At least I am, can't afford for a MIchelin Pilot to get jacked up on these crazy streets. I had a set of Nitto's on my Accord and they must have lasted 2-3 years at least, not bad for the investment. I owned the Falken ST115, Fk451 and Fk452 and when they get a little old the side wall cracks and rips. That's why I don't like them and bad tread wear.

there are plenty of intermediate tires that work good, almost great... depending on size, many are less than $200 per tire...
