[V8] tire musings

[diemarthadie at aol.com]

+1 for the General Exclaim UHP.  Got a set used already on the rims 
(what I really wanted) and was shocked at how good they were when 
already half used. One of the best tires in the rain I've found. 
Especially for the price.

The stock tire on a V8Q has an "H" rating, hence the sticker on the 
dash that
states you are not to exceed 130mph. A "V" speed rating will go to 
149mph.

I've also had great luck with Kumho's, and General's. I run snows and 
summers,
"All-season" tires are too much of a comprimise for me.

However, I did just put the General UHP's on my aunt's HHR, and she has 
been
quite happy with them. She says they are quieter and handle the water 
(Houston,
lots of rain) much better than the factory tires (goodyears) even when 
new.
