Sorry if this is the wrong section, but there wasn't really one for it. I'm trying to choose between some back tires (have new fronts) for my '72 c10 because i'm currently rolling on old dryed out 31x10.5's that also happen to be terrible in the rain. These are the choices. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...0&rd=15&cs=275 and http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...=TSWINT&cs=265 The Generals are a much lower tread wear rating (360) so they should be stickier and has A traction along with temperature while the Falkens have a 500 wear rating with B temperature and are a little narrower. Both sizes look good on this type of truck so that's not a real factor. I couldn't find any reviews on the Generals though. Which do you yall think will be better for straight line traction and which for rain. The Falkens are z-rated, but that that's not really necesary with my current ground-pounding smogger 350 and that good old truck handling What do you guys think

 

I just ordered general UHPs yesterday.. They will last a long time, I have heard good things on them.. Plus you can't beat the price.. I say get the Gens

 

So you think the UHP's are close enough to these? These are HP's. They look like the UHP tread but are mirrored instead of directional. Can't get the UHP's because they don't make any 15" sizes in that one.

 

I would run them, that way you can rotate them if you like on any corner... I think you will be happy for 90 bucks a tire..

 

The tread design is the same on both the Generals like I thought. And I read some shitty reviews on the Falkens too.

 

the falkens dont grip well in the rain. i have them in 275/55/20, but iv heard they last along time which works for me

 

I've heard mixed reviews on Falken tires, but so far everything that I've heard about Generals has been positive. Granted, most of the reviews that I've read have been on the UHP's though, I'll bet that the HP's are still pretty decent.

 

I just put the uhps on this morning, am am very impressed at the traction they have. I can still burn them off no prob, but can def tell they are stickier then my previous kumhos
