Default Need General Tires Exclaim UHP Opinions

Well, I found some tires that looked very good judging by extensive surveys on TireRack.com and they were rated #1, and they are CHEAP. They are like $100 for 215/35/19, which is absolutely amazing. But, the price does scare me a little bit, so I wanted to know what you people thought.

general tires have been around forever so they must be pretty good. i had some exclaims on my civic. they worked very well. good at high speeds. the only bad thing is they were kinda loud. they made a loud wooshing sound at freeway speed. im sure they won't be as sticky as say, sum proxes but they don't cost an arm and a leg. for the price i say go for it.

Yea, I was gonna get the Toyo Proxes 4 and they're all seasons. Was gonna go on my 19s, but don't want to run the 19s in the winter, so the purpose of all season is worthless, so decided to change it to this. I will slap winters on the stockies.

Thanks for the feedback, made me more confident. I saved myself about $75-$100. Yay!



I would like to hear some more user experiences, negative ones in particular if any...
