I can only vote for the Toyo's. I have very satisfying experience with them as low profile tires...but these are only good for summer (no matter what the tire guy tells you). Not much a fan of Falken and Nitto. Kumo gets mixed reviews. Never had these Yokohama's. To your other post on the size: with 20" and TRD springs, I would go with 225/35 - its only 2mm smaller than the stock 215/55 in diameter and will not cause issues together with a 20x8 rim. With 235 you probably have a very tight fit with 235/35 and a too large wheel well gap with 235/30 (beats putting TRD springs on). Also, 235 really look better with a 20x8.5 rim which further makes it an even tighter fit. I have seen members here using all these sizes, just make sure you know what you want ....looks vs comfort vs performance vs daily usability.

You didn't give us your criterias as what important to you. Price or Quality like Road noise, Treadwear. So here is both.
Price:
1. KUMHO SPT KU31
2. NITTO NT-555

Quality:
1. Yokohama Tire
2. NITTO NT-555

My choice for the best Value (Price/Quality) is NITTO NT-555

If you want to read more in-depth.

I believe that Tirerack.com has a comparison available.

Yokohama ES100 sorta slips on wet weather and roads. Never tried kumho.
I'd go with Falken FK452 or Azenis ST115. Good grip on both wet and dry!
If you were to go with Toyo, I would suggest the TOYO T1R.

Hey Moky,
If you like the Falken FK452 next time try the Nitto NT-555. I had them both before I like the Nitto much better (less noise, better grip wet and dry) for just about the same price.

Sadly, pricing for tires here in Canada is a bit different from down there in US a 19" tire here would cost anywhere from 250-300 before tax, depending on the brand. Not many shops carry Nitto either..

Which site do you get your price from because Kumho should be the least expensive over Toyo, Nitto and Falken.
