Which do you prefer?

 

I forgot what rating my Falkens were but they didn't grip for $h**. I remember it had directional tread though so it was probably suppose to be good.

Never had Nittos but I'd take my chances with them over Falkens.

 

Nittos by far, but for street driving not either of them really. You get what you pay for a falken is a cheap tire. Tires are the thing you really shouldn't skimp on, they determine handling, braking, comfort, noise and they are the only thing making contact with the road.
