    Hey guys i need to buy some tires ASAP. I am currently running 235/35/19. What are some good tires that i can get. I have heard of Genaral Exclaim UHP, Kumho Ecsta SPT. Im not speed racer either. I dont want to spend more than $200 a tire. Can you guys recomend some that you all are running. I know there might be some topics on this but im in a bit of a rush to get to the tire shop. Thanks again guys.

    Check out ratings on Tirerack.com - Generals have good review, but are a little loud. I have those on my summer wheels.

    I forgot, in addition to the UHP beings being a great preformer they're also pretty light. 21lbs for my 235/40/18

    those things are crap. you might as well get blue streaks, trevas, or riken raptors lol.

    bottom of the barrel is definitely the generals.. anything under than that and you're going to risk having a loud, possibly out of round, fast wearing, poorly performing, shitty tire. i've never had a problem with my generals, but i see crap like nankangs every single day and they've always got something wrong with them. (even brand new ones)

    Re: Tire Info...

    no one ever agrees with me, but I say eagle f1's.

    i got a set of 5 for 900 mounted / balanced and I am way happy with them. They're quiet and perform well. I live in CA though and I'd had them for only a month or so so they've only seen rain once and that was this morning for 5 minutes so I can't comment on that.
