I think Kumho's have alot of road noise. The General Exclaim UHP is a nice tire, but has an ugly tread pattern.

I'm having the same dilemma right now...I have an 2009 550i sport and have burned through the factory Conti's in 6 months. Ended up going with the Generals. They had better reviews than the Kumho's did. They are more aggressive looking and Generals are made by Continental.

I need to get new tires soon, my tread is low. I'm not sure what I wanna go with, trying to keep costs down. Kumhos got a 3 star rating on tirerack, are they bad?

Kumho's road noise increase with wear and mileage. Is this also true with General UHPs?

I voted for the General's because I have them, I like them, and I know nothing about the other choice!
