Wow, seeing this old thread, and seeing James talking about never going over 80 mph is funny....James you need to bring these folks up to date...never race, never go over 80...I think I saw a piece of paper that stated otherwise....LOL...you just can't help yourself in these cars....OK, I'll stop....enjoy....

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,

Thumbs up Re: General Exclaim UHP ?

For an all around tire, I can't say enough about these tires.
