high performance street tires? ?

[Ed Kellock]

I recently did my usual Tire Rack search because I am looking for
summer tires for my CGT.  I have no experience with any of the current
offereings.  I was most impressed by the General Exclaim UHP due to
weight and cost.  The reviews are decent, the specs look good, and the
price is attractive.
