General Exclaim HELP!!!
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.

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.

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....
