Anyone running Good Year Eagle GT or Pirelli PzeroNero tires, would like a any review?

BTW, I put on a set of new General Exclaim UHP tires a few weeks ago and have been dealing with "tire pull" ever since. The tire shop has been pretty helpful; they have replace 2/4 tires and the problem remains. The are willing to continue swapping Generals' but are suggesting that I jump ship and get 4 new, other brand tires. I'm trying to stay with the stock 18 size 235/45 so choices are a bit limited in my price range.

Found the problem; the General tires came from 2 different factories. The tires made in France are almost .25" taller than the 2 tires made in the Cezch Republic. The tires store could not control what would be sent so I switched brands all together. Goodyear Eagle GT got installed today & problem solved!

Good to hear that you have solved the problem. The Goodyear Eagle GT are good tires.

Talk about manufacturer tolerance, you would think the General Tires would have been much closer in specs even in different countries. But then again, that's why we purchased vehicles based on country/place of manufacture.

Anyone over in the states give those new Bridgestone RE760 Sport a go? they seem like very nice tyres

HOLY CRAP! .25"?!?

There's usually overall differences between the same size from different manufacturers, but the same tire?!? Wow.

Dude, that would have driven me crazy. Sounds like you got a good tire shop. I'd definitely call their regional office and compliment them on your good service. That means *a lot* to them.

America's Tires is the shop; they guarantee you like the tires or they exchange them. It took three visits, 4 weeks & $100 out of pocket to nail this down. I was swaping the front tires my self to verify the alignment shop claim of tire pull and noticed the left tire wouldnt go on the right side without jacking up the car a bit more. Thats when the light went on about the diameter being different and I noticed different countries of origin. BTY I know 2 others with the General UHP tires that love them, they both have matched sets from the Cezch Republic. Now the Goodyear tires have been on for 2 days, they make less noise but have yet to drive them hard in the corners.

Again, wow. I probably have looked at them long enough to order a set of Michelin Pilot Sport blah blah's, which would have shished the people in my head.

The .25" variance is a clusterfvck. No two ways about it.
