Default General Exclaim Tires Opinions?

I need opinions on these tires. I have worn out my rears and need to replace all 4 tires. These look like a good tire for aggresive driving. Anyone here had any experience with them?

shut up and speak for experience ... have you had it before?

well, my friend has it on his E46 M3 ... wrap in his iforged 19's ... i must say the tires are not that bad if you base it on the price ... its good daily regular driving cuz the tires are quiet and very comfortable ride... NO for aggressive driving ... walls seems to be really soft ...

i have a set, they are actually pretty good for the price. I use them on my daily driver and for an autox event and they hold up just fine. Very good in the rain and wet conditions, no noise no issues, no squealing. Indeed rather soft and forgiving but great tire for the price....Very comparable to 'old T1S i previsouly had.

General = Continental

As for general, I would put them on a daily driver if I was strapped for cash and didn't intend to go around a corner without spilling a cup of coffee sitting on the dashboard. They are crap for any sport driving.

I cringe when I hear hankook tires. Poor construction, heavy, imitation of other manufactuer's tread design, and **** for performance on the track (performance line, not DOT-R...no experience with those). I'll post a pic of what happened with my last set of hankook's.

I can't find these in a 245/40R/17 for the AP2, so I think I'm going to go with the Falken Azenis RT-615. Opinions?
