Truck tires are a whole different ball game compared to summer performance tires.

I have yet to see a bad review of Exclaim UHP's on a sport coupe.

i think they are a sponsor more over a vendor. i believe it works that every time you visit tirerack.com by clicking that link on our forum we get money for having it there.

my 2 cents- Dores it reall y matter? Remember we all have differnt driving style so tires are goign to work diff on everyones car. Also depends on road conditions and how ur car is moded up. Me personally i dont have either tires but they both get good reviews. One question to all? Did anyone notice the weight on some of these wheels and tires. Cause remember weight uses up Hp at take off and makes a diff when stopping. So for me the generals are better cause they only weight 22 LBS. the other tires weigh 24.3 LBS.. these are weights for a 225-45-18 tire. the generals where on tire rack and the Nankang Ultrasport NS-II's where on this site: http://www.tireco.com/Product_Detail...&ProductID=150. Ffor me in the quest for light tires and wheels im goin wit the generals but i also like the contiextremecontacts- yeah they are not that good but they also only weigh 22 LBs. Has anyone found a Rim that is less than 22 LBS. and costs less than 200 each? Well that will fit our beloved/hated 5x110 bolt pattern? If you do just drop me a email. Cause I'm lookin

When it comes to tires, I buy them keeping in mind that I'm going to need every bit of traction I can if I end up in a messed up situation.

So, KDW ftw. Sticks better in dry than most other brands top names, and then comes around and demolishes the puddles.

So, love whatever tires ya want, but just realize your typically giving up on one thing to get another. :-P

Give them a call . All it took for me to get OZ Ultraleggera's offered in black for us was to BS with the salesman for a bit and tell them how deprived we are of nice wheels . Within 3 weeks they added the black on the site . OZ and the tire rack are nearly 1 and the same , Tire Rack assembles all the 3piece OZ wheels and have a direct line to requesting new offerings off existing wheels .
