Best UHP or HP AS Tire?

rmorin49 · 05-06-2007, 03:52 PM

Would like some first hand experience from anyone currently running UHP or HP all season tires. I am a big fan of Toyos, currently running Proxes 4 on my MINI Cooper S. Considering ditching my OEM runflats and putting on a set of quality all season tires. Any recommendations? Thanks.

How would you rate them as compared to the OE runflats on these factors using a 1-10 scale, 10 being perfect.

Handling
Ride
Noise
Wear

Thanks.

i have proxes4. i dont have too much experience, but i love em

The Generals don't come in the proper 18" sizes and neither do the Toyos. Maybe I should upgrade to 19s and get a wheel and tire package. Considering a set of Beyern wheels and Toyos Proxes 4.

Toyos FTW. I had them before (T1Rs) and I'll take them again (if I can somehow grab a set of R888s in that size)

UHP AS = Bridgestone RE960as Pole Positions, i got em on my oem 17's 225/45/17 and they are like a dream, a little more pricey than its competition, but worth it, if u wanna go a lil cheaper, General Exclaim UHP's, thats wut i got on my 19's(cuz of how expensive 275's are), the GE UHP's are #1 for UHP on tire rack, go for those

save your money and go with the General Exclaim tires, great tires.... and they weigh less than other tire brands....

The General Exclaim UHP tires are the only tires I know of in the low-profile 19" size that are suitable for summer as well as in light snow conditions. I have them and they're great year round in Chicago, IL.
