General Exclaim UHP?

[~The_Duke~]

Anyone try this tire?

It is really cheap, but the tirerack user rating on it is really good.

[Cameron.]

Duke, only way to go is Federal SS-595.

or Federal Runway-916. those 2 are 2 of the cheapest most used tire in the 240 world. at least on nico..

[~The_Duke~]

Interesting...

[Cameron.]

and there cheap as hell too from tiresavings.com cause there having a sell right now..

you can get 275/40/17 Riken* Raptor ZR's for 92 or somethin a piece.

[babowc]

If you're going to do any kind of street driving.. I suggest you get something worthwhile.

Don't get no shitty tires for street/daily driving.
Get something quality for street.

Get something shitty for drift.

Get something quality for drift, if you're rich.

[~The_Duke~]

245/45 ZR17 is $93 each

General UHP is $87 each

Kumho SPT is $97 each

I am running spts at the moment and I really like that tire, but it is the difference between a $420 tire bill and a $344 tire bill.

I know 1 person that has these tires and he said they are stick OK, but they last forever he said. He said he rode on 1 set of them for about 20,000.

The kumhos that I am rolling on now are lasting quite well. I have about 5,000 on them now and they still have ~2\3 tread left, and that is after 2 autox events and me raping them on a daily basis on back roads.

Serv. Desc (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/general/servdesc_pop.html): 92W
Load Rating XL
Price: $83.00 (each)

Pretty decent prices, though...

[Cameron.]

595 is rated 3 in the top tires for drifting circuit in Japan, and everyone ive talked to on nico about them said they are awesome on the street. even YokotaS13 repps em.. and hes hard to please when it comes to tires/wheels.

[~The_Duke~]

Tirerack is just as cheap as tiresavings.

I dont drift though, I grip...

[babowc]

Umm...
Drift =/= street

You have to take into account in street driving, you experience FAR different conditions than from drifting.


If you grip, you're looking for the WRONG tires.

im not saying for drifting..... -.-

those are high performance street tires..

[~The_Duke~]

These kumhos are great tires, I was just trying to shave some money off just a lil. I read someone repping them on the B15 boards but some of those guys are morons so I figured I would ask you guys because you are smarter... lol

[shawn shawn]

I hear good things about the federals... never rocked em' myself.


I had Generals on the rear for drift once... I believe they chunked on me if I remember correct.

[Cameron.]

i just posted that they are not low quality tires. just quoting something. not saying to use them for drift.

I run Kumho ecsta AST's on mine, they are fairly cheap.

[~The_Duke~]

I dont like the ASX the side wall is way to soft for me. Those are what my brother runs on his tC. We autox'd with them and that was kinda scary...

not the ASX, AST. i like them a lot.

[shawn shawn]

I liked the Kumbo MX's

[Cameron.]

those are all season.. not meant for strictly high Performance.

^ not those dorimon, the ASX's. prolly why he didnt like them...

[shawn shawn]

he has a sentra.

ahhh you corrected

[~The_Duke~]

he has a sentra.

ahhh you corrected

I would like to try the MX, but they are 121 each... lol

I think I will prolly just go with the SPT again. I like this tire.

So no one has tried the generals?

I tried the Fuzion ZRi but those wear out really really fast and they like feather.

[Cameron.]

do what You want, its your car.

cause everyone has different driving styles.. you stil coming over tomorrow? i cant wait to seafoam. :D

[babowc]

Be the guinea pig.
Try the general exclaims.

Lets see em perform!

[shawn shawn]

but they last a while and gripped awesomely. :)

[~The_Duke~]

but they last a while and gripped awesomely. :)

Oh it is so tempting... lol

I might try some of those generals...

I got 2 225\45 R17 hoosiers I need to use up...

Bout how long did those MX's last?

My sentra RAPES tires...

Yes I am still coming over.

Yes we are so seafoaming, you can do your car to if you want.

I think me and infinate are doing the tranny flush, oil change, and BSR before hand though.

[TopSecret240]

Riken Raptors FTW!!!:goodjob:

[shawn shawn]

I drifted on the MX's w/ my wacky alignment so I can't tell you how long they would last you haha....



but they felt awesome on the street and on the twisties.

How many miles did they last with the drifting?

I might as well be drifting autox cas half the time I dont have 100% traction anyway lol

[Cameron.]

well do it while im at school. yea we can seafoam mine too. sounds good.

and riken raptors, ive heard of them, and knew they were cheap, and heard good stuff, but are they good for grip?

If they arent good for grip I will squall the tires off all the way through 3rd...

I liked them for the few weeks I had them. I never really got a chance to use them but they are cheap.:lmfao:
Good for daily driving but thats about it. lol

I honestly have never calculated mileage on any tires I have ever owned haha...


They lasted multiple events on my car up front and gave my sister about a year of use on the street. she doesn't drive too too much though. I finally killed them w/ shitty alignment.

[ThatS13Guy]

duke i run the generals and i like them for what i paid....there pretty grippy, im sure theres betters out there though for the price

[~The_Duke~]

Ok cool.

Those Riken tires look pretty interesting as well since they are only $79 each...

Hmmm I will think about it...

hmmm Those might be worth the extra money if they last that long...

[shawn shawn]

I am on Falken RT's atm and the Kumho's were better in the cold and the rain... got a lil' bit greasy when they got really hot but a lot of tires do that do well in the cold it seems.

[tc240]

i work at a tire shop. The UHP's kick ass... they're rated higher or the same as the toyo t1r in all aspects. my buddy runs them on his 240 and swears by them. They stick pretty well.

[ThatS13Guy]

ya it was actually jack who told me about them....yes zack the same jack we both know who is in florida...i was actually at your shop the other day to get two tires mounted but you werent there, yall have two huge ass explaim's up on the right wall lol they look good

[Ycoboost]

i have these on my prelude and i'd say they are not bad decent traction about the same as a toyo proxe and more grippy then a fusion zri

[homeslicej2]

595 is rated 3 in the top tires for drifting circuit in Japan, and everyone ive talked to on nico about them said they are awesome on the street. even YokotaS13 repps em.. and hes hard to please when it comes to tires/wheels. hell yeah he is! If Yokota reps something it's good stuff. I say try the generals, and let us know how they are.

[zcrew]

I know a bunch of Audi guys that have run General Exclaims, and for runabout getting around town "quickly" and in weather conditions, they held up great for the price.

[~The_Duke~]

excellent, I think I am going to try these things...

[seksehowy]

AutoGrip carries all that and more!.

dont forget to +shipping to most online prices~.

we're local and offer about the same price or less!

[~The_Duke~]

hmmm I like this concept...

Do you have a website? :bump:
