hey everyone, i need a coupl new tires my T/A(bulge in one of them) and I was going to buy some FALKEN ziex 912 again in 245/50/16(size i have now). I can get these quite a bit cheaper if i get the H rated instead of the W rated. I mean i never go faster than 130mph and my car wont trap anywhere near that at the track. What do you all think? Here the tires are

H rated is fine, just stay within the speed rating as much as possible... are your tires going to blow up or come apart if you go over the rating? Probably not. Is it possible? Yes.

I would buy the primewells over the falken 912. Same price. Btw I work at a hibdons in Tulsa.

Oh yeah? Well I would have unmatched tires then, but I'd you feel the prime wells are a lot better I may go for it.

the lower the speed rating the longer the tire will last too regardless of the tread wear most of the time to

Dude, primewells are just about the worst tire you can possibly buy. They are what.. $30 a tire? If you want something just to get around on and don't care about noise, performance, ect, go for it. But if you want a tire that will perform well stay away from Primewell dude.

There are many affordable options for that tire size.. stick with BFG, Goodyear, Kumho, ect... you don't want to cheap out on tires. Many options for you in the 60-90$ range.

I've worked at F&F, Goodyear, Sam's club... tons of garages/tire shops. I've seen just about any and every tire on the market and from my experience the brands I listed have been the overall best. There are, of course, many other good brands out there, just do some researching.
