General Exclaim HELP!!!

BaLLzZz · 05-25-2008, 06:21 PM

I am in the market for rim/tires. I have my rims choosen BUT my tires are throwing a monkey wrench into everything. I will wear the tires out fast so these General Exclaims keep coming to my head. My question is how do they perform will i see decreased performance or can these tires hold it. If not can anyone suggest a place to get ps1/2 whatever they are at a good price. I am new to the tire thing never really bought aftermarket ones. Thank you in advance.

1) BBS CH weigh 24 & 26lbs front/rear (stock 18s weight about 30lbs+)
2) Your handling will not suffer

No, they both perform the same function: lower the ride height & improve the handling of your car. I would recommend getting a coilover setup, like the KW V1 or if your budget allows, Bilstein B16 system.

Falken 452s ftw.... about 150 more or 800$ shipped, but well worth it.

Ive had general exclaim on my 2 other bmw's e36 and my e46. They are great! Not noisy, good grip and good price. Ill be going with general when I put on some bbs lm's on soon.

BMdblU · 05-26-2008, 10:22 AM

I got em. Much better then I expected, that's for sure. Can't be beat for the price.

E90330iS · 05-27-2008, 12:39 AM

I have Generals now will go for Falken 452s next

MBE93 · 05-27-2008, 12:50 PM

Love the General's on my e93. I have them on VM-715's and there is less noise than with the stock RFT's and handling is probably a bit better, neutral at worse. I would have gottent the Falken 452's but JLevisw couldn't get 'em. Couldn't justify the GS-D3's afterall and I feel like I made the right decision. Wear rating is much, much better than the stock RFTs at 140.

If you don't want top shelf performance, the Generals are a great tire for the price....
