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

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 ratingis 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??
