Good point! I ran Nitto NT-05's, then went to Hankook RS-3's, OMG what a much better tire. I would run them now, but they don't make a 315/30/18. Looks like Falken may be getting a try.

There's a decent list of 'players' winning on Falken's. Sizes are somewhat limited though. They'd be my next tire if they made 18/245/40 - 18/275/40.

Out of curiosity, what areas made the Hankook's much better than the Nitto's?

The best tire is always the brand you don't have on your car. I'm a big fan of Michelin on my cars, BFG's on my 4x4's.

And he wasn't lookin' too happy with his tire choice that day.
