Tires

[Ed Kellock]

Good info on the Winterforce tires Tony, thanks!

I have been really interested in having some General Exclaim UHP but have
not yet had a set.  I did recommend them to someone on the V8 list and he
has been very pleased.  They're not all season though.

I have a set of previous gen Yokohamas on one car and am happy, but they're
fairly heavy, my little pet peeve.

I would be really interested in trying the Sumitomo HTR A/S P01, but haven't
yet.  Have always had decent luck with other Sumitomos though.

Might also suggest General Altimax HP if you're not worried about too much
"high performance".  They are light and have resoundingly good reviews on
Tire Rack.  Have been really interested in trying those too.  And they're
even cheaper than the Firestones that Tony mentioned.

The Bridgestone 960's are also pretty heavy, as all Bridge"stones" seem to
be.  Doesn't mean they're not good tires though.

One question though, maybe a little late in the game... are we talking about
stock size for the 200q20v, 215/60-15?

Ed

I've also liked the General Exclaim UHP (I think that's the name). Not
something I run, as I have dedicated summers and snows, but my relatives
(three of them) love this tire on their cars. Seem to wear fairly long as
well.

Also, if you live where the snow falls often, you might check out the
firestone winterforce tires. You can use them as an all season year round.
I've got 10k on mine (they are my snow tires) and they still look great.
I'll get at least 30k of fairly aggressive driving out of them. Some reviews
on tirerack state 50k of wear before replacing. However, they will still
wear out faster than most traditional all seasons. However, the wet and snow
traction is incredible!
