are these General Exclaim UHP any good?

Cis · 09-20-2007, 07:33 PM

those tires any good? theyre dirt cheap on tire rack

FotiosF90M5 · 09-20-2007, 07:35 PM

they are very good tires.do a search for them and you should get tons of info.

esbezee92 · 09-20-2007, 07:35 PM

i haven't tried them but since no one has commented yet, i think what most people say is you definetly get more than what you pay for in terms of performance but theyre not the best, probably the best bang for the buck tho.

all i know is that eventually when i do get some rims, thats what im gona use

o theyre also very light compared to other tires

Cis · 09-20-2007, 07:42 PM

i was thinkin those or goodyear f1 but those will cost 900 .. tryin to save money lol

ohsnap · 09-20-2007, 08:49 PM

Hope there good, have a few waiting for my new ride..

montreal_bimmer · 09-20-2007, 08:55 PM

they are excellent tires... there are many threads about them... do a little search....

jonm42 · 09-20-2007, 09:01 PM

I just put them on with my VS7's and KW V2's -- so far, a little on the "squeaky" side, but I'm not done tweaking the suspension setup yet. So far, so good.

NPDAN · 09-20-2007, 10:59 PM

I have them, they're great.... The price of them is just a bonus...

TheModCity · 09-21-2007, 01:22 AM

Excellent Tires! Great for the price!

Ron@Modbargains · 09-21-2007, 02:59 AM

On my second set, they've been great tested them since they first came out. Cant beat the price per value. But definitely not in same class as a goodyear/Michelins/Bridgestone/Yokohama in terms of handeling. Still my favorite choice for street tires, tread wear and light weight.

evoi19 · 09-21-2007, 03:16 AM

I have them on mine and so far they're decent. Good grip in wet weather and decent grip in the summer.

It really depends on what type of driving style you are. If you're into tracking and canyon carving alot and grip is at the utmost importance, then perhaps a different set may be your route. Something like PS2's or GY F1GS-D3's.

I do alot of spirited driving and canyon carve quite a bit and these hold all right, but I do feel that I can't push it to the max on medium speed turns. They're definitely bang for the buck and you'll be happy with them.

dallas_arctic · 09-21-2007, 09:42 PM

Great tires, and best bang for the buck by far. I went from 17" runflats to 19"
Generals.. Much much much quieter and smooth.

Best performance street tires I think. Very comfortable and smooth, treads seem to last forever. Sidewalls are a little soft, which helps with comfort but could hurt max cornering performance. They do get a little "brittle" and noisy after about 2 years though. If you don't drive a whole lot, you'll want to replace them after about 2 years before the treads are done. You'll probably get more than 20,000 miles before they need replacement (depends on how you drive of course). The original Continentals on my 2003 330i that I had lasted maybe 12K miles before the treads were really gone.

koreez88 · 09-22-2007, 02:20 AM

Great tires, like them so far

Cis · 09-22-2007, 04:46 AM

thanks for the replies guys, just ordered them on tire rack.. should be here on tues for my senekas!

1clean335i · 09-22-2007, 01:44 PM

I got them on my car.... just picked them up last week and put over 1000 miles on them already driving up to atlanta for nopi. they ride a hell of a lot better than the oem runflats..

I have used a set for four years in Gernay with my Lexus GS 400,I average 130 to 140 every day on the Autobahn going to work.

ducati955 · 09-30-2007, 08:06 PM

seem ok, i really like taking crazy turns though, so do the ps2's really make that much of a difference?

i feel like i can do that on the oem runflats
