Another Tire Thread...

Probably buying some wheels soon, so I'm now deciding what I want to do about tires.  The two in question are General Exclaim UHPs and Kumho Ecsta ASXs.  Both would be for Summer use only, and are Z Rated.  I just want to know what everyone thinks of the two.  If you're running one of them, please share what kind of experience you've had with them.

i remember doing some research, not this last purchase, but the one before and i remember looking at those tires. 
we never get tired of tires.....for without them, where would we go?

my kumho ecsta supras are freakin amazing...absolute quality, brive nice, very quiet, ride feels almost stock

since I put my 18.8.5's on the car I cant even begin to get the car to slide, all id does is stick!

kumho FTMFW!

I heard the generals are pretty good.

I definitely like the Generals because of the price, but I really like the fact that the Kumhos have a 50k mile warranty.

Kumhos are amazing & I found the ones you are looking for $100

just buy the wheels and drive on the rims.... no need for tires
 
i just picked up 4 17inch tires with 75% tread for $107

i know it's not one you were looking at, but what about Nitto Invo?  usually run somewhere just north of $100 a piece, they are W rated (only good for 168mph, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem in the states).  and, the appealing part (the part i like if one has a full size spare), is that it is omni-directional, so if/when you catch a flat, you don't jack up the tread of a unidirectional tread pattern if you don't happen to have it set up in the direction you need.  the load rating is high enough (depending on tire size) for these fat pig cars.  just a thought.

Haven't really looked into Nitto.

Any thoughts on Dunlop SP01??

Michelin Pilot sport PS2 FTW Kolby.

What ever you do, dont get Federals
while they are great for drifting and cheap, they are sooooo loud on my A3 on the freeway. crazy loud

Noted.  Nice sig, by the way.

I'm starting to lean toward the Dunlops...for a couple of different reasons...

i would get the asx's, unless you can afford some pilot sports

enerals because there are really making a jump into the high perform tire, they are very good on normal cars but they have now adapted that for the tuners and made an good agressive looking tire.

FWIW (maybe not much!?), when I was at the local dealer today, I noted what the '08 RS4 with the 19x9 graphite rims comes with as Summer Perfomance tires - Pirelli PZero Rosso in 255/35R19.
