falken 912 or general exclaim?

which tire and why?

this is going on my gf's scion tc.
mostly cruising.. maybe some spirited driving, but nothing balls to the wall aggressive.

the generals can be had for 77/per and the falkens for 69/per

thanks.

Not really sure about the 912 but the Generals have pretty much been proven to be great tires for the money.

The Falken Ziex 912's are a great all season tire, they are quiet, they last a long time, and they perform well for what they are.

The Generals are nice for our cars as they are made in a lot of different sizes that allow you to get a good set of tires for a decent price.

However, for a scion tC, if you just want a good all season tire that will last you a long time, I'd suggest just sticking with the Ziex 912's.

btw, I accidently clicked general on the poll, but I meant to vote for the falkens lol

i wanted to try the exclaims, but ended up with the falkens.
my local guy only had the falkens in stock and i didn't want my gf to roll on a spare for the next few days.
also i saved a few dollars so its ok.
next set will probably be the generals though.
