which tire is better for 19" m6 reps?

dexter · 05-22-2008, 04:24 AM

generals or falkens? i was pretty set on getting generals until a guy at a local shop said not only would he match the price i was quoted from **********s, but mount the m6 wheels with falkens instead as if that were some great deal. now i don't know much when it comes to tires so what do you think?

anybody?

You can't go wrong with either. For Falken, you want to make sure they are the FK452.

if they are the fk452's would that be the better choice opposed to the generals?

Yes, IMO

I believe the general consensus are the General Exclaims are great tires...last long and provide good grip. I am pretty happy with my set. Altho, I wish they had slightly better grip for when I take them out to autocross. More than good enough for the street tho.

The Falkens are popular tires amongst the autocross crew. It would seem they have slightly better traction than the Generals...but I have not owned a set to be able to compare.

Both are great setups, we do more of the Generals but the Falken is an excellent choice as well.
