ok, not to start a heated debate, good year triple tread vs. falken 512. Those of you who have ran both, can you enlighten me??
Thanks Willie

Had a GYTT, now running General Altimax. Falken 512 has good reviews, but a lot of other tires do, too.

good year triple tread vs. falken 512 The Falken is a smoother ride and corners easier. |

~45k miles on two falken 512, awesome tire... I have installed that tire on six bikes here in Kansas. Also, was told by one who ran a different car tire in the past who put on a 512 said that they now know why I do all those figure eights in the parking lot waiting for everyone to be ready. It handles awesome!!! For what it's worth  |

I started with a Goodyear TT and got 37k out of it.
However, currently running the General Altimax and like the way it handles a lot better.
