Trying to get some feedback on anyone that would recommend these tires for summer 17" rubber.

I've heard good things about both tire models and they seem to be a great price for the tire..

Any thoughts? Thanks!

 

yea, I've heard good things about both tires too, I just bought a set of Falken 512's, but Im not putting them on until the spring.
I know the Falkens are suppose to be pretty good in the rain.

I dont think you can go wrong with either of the 2, considering the price.

 

try tirerack they should have some info on both of those tires

 

The 512's are supposed to be an excellent tire for the money.

 

512!! ya thats what im getting through my mechanic as ive heard they are really good plus the wet grip factor is good, i heard the price has gone up though for it, i dont know wheel market value?

 

I have the UHP's and they're a very good tire for the money as well. Very good in the wet as well.

 

Falken's have gone up 20% in costs....so most places do not carry them anymore...

 

Falken is sold as all-season but the General is ultra-high-performance. So on that note alone, I think General is a better choice for handling.

But I can't decide!

 

i heard good things about the General UHP. i plan on getting a set for the summer. they're ranked #1 for UHP tires on tirerack.com

 

You guys might want to check this place out for Falkens. The only issue I had with them was they wear a bit quicker than I would like but a great tire.

if you are looking for performance, look away from the 512. I'll never buy a set of them again.

They were great in rain, but didn't grip for crap when it was dry.

 

Tirerack doesn't sell Falken.

 

used them good for a daily

 

^^ huh?

 

This is an exterior/lighting topic now?!?! Shouldn't it be:

Performance/Suspension
Engine tech, forced induction, springs, shocks, brakes, tires, etc.

 

WTF that place isnt cheap..... Pacific mall sells 205/50/15 Falken 512s for 380 a set...NO TAX....that place wants 99 a tire, n i am pretty sure plus tax...unless those prices are installed...

 

THanks for the replies. I went and got the General's.
--and from Tires23 in Mississauga.

 

Good job man. That's where I got mine...Great service from those guys.

 

Gotta luv those FALKEN tires! No problem whatsoever...been using them even on my 17's before, now on my 15's as well
