General Exclaim UHP VS Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

dragazn · 06-21-2009, 11:18 AM

Any thought on these two tire guys? Tirerack is having a sale on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S which cut down to 199. WHile the General is at 177 vs 199. THese prices are on the rear tire. From the stats on tirerack General beats Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and i have heard a lot from everyone general is best bang for the bucks. My needs are ride conform will be on the top list.

Go Michelin over the Generals.

Are you looking for an all-season tire or a summer-only tire? What tires are you mixing with that you're keeping up front?

$3 difference btw Kumho Ecsta SPT and General Exclaim UHP . I'm going with General Exclaim UHP since Yokohoma doens't have the front tire for me.

Generals are utter garbage

The General tire is not meant for all-season winter traction or colder weather, so given your two choices, stick with the Pilot Sport A/S.
