Falken tire question

So I'm looking at some tires next spring for the GTA, just a mid-level tire, I don't drive it much, don't race it(unless someone is messing with me late at night) so I don't know a tire like a Pirelli or Michelin.

So I'm looking at some Falken's and I see the 502's and 912's. Both are similarly priced but which one is better and why?

Re: Falken tire question

Well you have to read the specs for both, but as I see it one is "All Season" and other is " Mud & Snow" rated. My opinion is, I would buy either of those tires.

I happen to be a tire wholesaler in upstate NY and here's my $.02. If your looking for a stickier tire go with the 502, 912 for longer wear. You'll like the look of the 502 better I think.

Re: Falken tire question

Thank you, that was what I was looking for.

How about the 512's?
