Falken or Nitto

Which tire is better, Falken 512 or Nitto NT-450? I am more interested in all season especially in the rain.

Ive been running 512's the past two years and had 555's before. For all around, I would have go with the 512's.

For rain and dry, I go with Nittos. I had a set of Nittos and they are tough! I was running 205/40/17s and I used to nail pot holes left and right with bad shocks and springs! They still held up together for me. I would definitely recommend for dry and wet but not snow.

I agree with Ammi in the sense while Nittos may be good for wet and dry, I would not attempt to drive with them on snow....just doesnt sound right.....
