Falken 452 vs. 512 vs. 912?????

[Dice316]

Hey i just bout New 16" Rotas i'm still deciding if i want 205/50/16 or 215/50/16 (idk if 215 will rub)

but FALKEN offers: 205/50/16 in 452 (300), 512 (360AA), & 912 (360AA) - now i have used the 512 before (205/40/17) and i like them alot no problems 1 yr later tred seemed still practically new GREAT in the rain and my mechanic told me he liked the 512 better than the 452 for all the rain we get. so now that its time to buy again i would go for the 512 but im wondering if we compare them to 452 and the 912 what are sum differences with them to put my mind at rest im obviously trying to find tires that will last long, help me drive good on wet raods (more like flood puddles) and also are a smooth ride (the low profile 215/40/17 i had made me feel EVERY BUMP) so feel free to say which ones you like and or why i just wana be sure before i buy. Price isnt that big a deal for me as long as they last well i can get the 512 for $80s, 912 for $90s and 452 for $100s

(also any idea if 215 will rub or give issues? when i got the car it had 205 in front and 215 in rear so i wondered y they did that car had a body kit on it btw)


Thanks in advanced

i'd go with falklen 502. good traction and long lasting (depends how you drive).
215 is slightly wide. i'd say 205/40 is good if you're trying to drop pretty low.

i'll post a pic of my old ride of 205/40/16
