Default Re: General Exclaim UHP ?

I just swapped my tires an wheels from Limited to SRT6 with 9,000 iles on tires. I also put new 275x30x19s on rear. Take offs had 65% tread left, after hard driving. Post below was from last year with prices from Discount Tire.

FRONT: TIRES GEN EXCL UHP..225/40R-18XL 91W BSW 380 A AA $120 EA
REAR: TIRES GEN EXCL UHP.. 265/30R-19XL 93W BSW 380 A AA $145 EA
I ALSO PURCHASED LIFETIME REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES $18.50/22.50, LIFETIME SPIN BALANCE..$12.50, COMPUTER RIDE MATCH WHEEL TO TIRE..$17.99 EA, TPMS REBUILD KIT..$5.00 EA
WHEELS..FRONT MANDRUS MILLENIUM 18X8.5 $225.00 EA.
REAR...MANDRUS MILLENIUM 19X9.5 $285.00 EA.
INSTALLATION KIT..GORILLA.$7.00

I have approx 3,000 miles on and no exhibitable tire wear. Ride is a little harsher due to 380 tread wear rating, handling excellent, not driven in hard rain. Tire was number 1 rated at TIRE RACK for 3 years among 40 tires.
There is less than 2% difference in speedo reading at 70MPH, actual 68.7.
I did not use spacers and no offset prob. I chose to use DISCOUNT TIRE BECAUSE IT IS LESS THEN 2 MILES FROM HOUSE, MANY, MANY, MANY STORES WHERE I MAY BE DRIVING, I HAVE DEALT WITH THEM FOR DECADES WITH NO PROBLEMS. Hope this helps


Good Luck,
