I have an 06 civic Si with 14K miles and my crappy a** MXM4 tires are starting to get a little low and I will get to ditch them before too long . I have been looking at tires for a while and I am leaning towards General Exclaim UHP

There are lots of miles of reviews stacked up on tire rack and they seem to be pretty good tires. I am in college so I do a mix of around town driving, and then I drive home 2 hours on the highway allot, so I need some that is versatile and I drive an si so I like to drive lol I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with these tires or any other ideas?

Also does anyone know if these have rimguards built in?

I've got them on my TSX and they're great! I highly recommend them.

had them on my 05 TL as well. Awesome tire, awesome price, decent tread wear. Cant go wrong for the money. Do a search with my user name and you will find the review. I did a pretty thorough one!

You guys aren't being very helpful to the community, these tires are absolute shit. In my experience, these are worse than Kumho ASXs...which are all seasons... and can only be compared with OEM all season tires. They squeal easily and are not for performance driving.

you have 9 posts, what help have you given to the community?

I gave to the community when I responded to your positive review of the tires. You drive a TL which already understeers and praise the Exclaims, which I don't understand. Since he's driving a Civic Si, he's probably looking for performance, and these don't deliver.

I don't browse Acurazine; a friend just alerted me that someone was asking about General Exclaims and I didn't want them to be another victim of groupthink.

Excellent tread wear, they look good, and they are really cheap.

Only downside is the sidewalls are SUPER thin and they flew quite a bit when taking turns they def. flex.

Im on my 2nds set now, and will buy another set when these are done.

Check out the 2nd gen CL tire forum. A few posts about those tires. I have them as well.

Do you have experience with them? If so what size? Also, are you sure they were the UHP ones or the standard Exclaims?

I have the Exclaim UHPs in 215/55/16, which is the stock size for the car I drive. I have tested Kumho ASX and Kumho SPTs (and other tires better than Kumho) with far better results. Exclaim UHPs have been driven at ranges of 30~37 psi. Haven't had a chance to test them in the wet, but it'll be tough beating the the Kumho SPT. Wanted to try something new but it'll be a while before these wear out...

Sorry I have to disagree. These tires are awesome tires especially for the price. I highly recommend them.,

It's a cheap, good tire...are there other better performing tires out there? I'm sure! But for the money, you can't go wrong.

Thanks for the responses. The only complaint I have heard about these on here and tire rack are that the sidewalls are thin and they cause some extra roll. It only seems to be a few people who say complain about that, but it seems to really turn them away from this tire, that is my main concern. Some people have said that if u just increase the pressure a little it will help, while others say it doesn't.
Money isn't a huge issue, cause my parents are paying for them, but I don't want to pay more than I need to. Also does anyone know if these have the rubber edges around the rim that protect it from scrapes? I do lots of parallel parking and I don't want to kill my rims

That would be a rim guard & yes they do.
You have to ask yourself what type of driving do you do? & do you need all seasons in NC? Cause the UHP's are summer tires & not for snow or really cold weather.

pimpin-tl

Yes they have the lip guards.

Umm, I really didnt have many problems with my Tl because I had a bigger rear sway bar which helped with the understeer. The stickier tires, compared to the OEM Michelin garbage also helped a lot.

thechinks

Well everyone here seems to be having good results with them, so maybe it was just me who got a bad batch.

These tires are pretty popular with the GTO crowd, too.

I just put them on my 05 TL, and enjoy them.

275/30/19 and don't see a problem with tire flex.
