Default GoodYear Eagle GT vs. Falken ZE 512

So Im looking for new tires and went to American Tire and they told me about these two tires as best bets for my DD 95 with 17's. Falken ZE 512 245/45/17 or Good Year Eagle GT 245/45/17....again I know nothing about tires so i need your help. The Falken's will cost me $530.30 and the Good Years will set me back $665.40 (with 30,000 mile warrenty), thats a big diffrence so please help....

Thanks Matthew

Those are good tires but you could get just as good tires if not better tires for less.

Here is the link

I have the Eagle GT on my 06 GT and love them. I was looking for an all season when i got mine last year. Very good all season preformance. Good wet and dry handling, and can actually get around in a few inches of snow if needed. Pretty big rim guard on the bead so it helps avoid curb rash on your wheels. Also is an asymetrical tread so you can cross the front tires when you move them to the back. I would recomend them to anyone that asks what they are like.

Im sure I can get them cheaper online. But these prices are for mounting, balancing, and install; so....

Anyone else have any other idea?

Thanks,
Matthew

I have the Goodyear Eagle GTs and Love them! Never had Falkens on my car, but a friend of mine said they are good tires.
