I know a few of you guys have the General Exclaim UHP's here. Are they High Performance All Season (as stated by tiresavings.com) or Ultra High Performance Summer (as stated by Tirerack)?
I am looking for a set of 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.
Thanks.

All-season...says "M+S" on tires if I remember correctly. I had them on my old Maxima and they were actually pretty good in the snow. It's kind of an oxymoron isn't it? Ultra High Performance, All Season? 
It's true though.
They were good tires, but if you want summer-only tires, I'd buy something built just for that purpose, if you can afford to do so. It's hard to beat that price, though.

I would like to get rid of the Michelin PS2's that came with the original 167's on the M6 for a very good price of about $650 plus cost of shipping if anybody is interested...has only 100 miles on them. Tirerack sells them for about $1500 new. All I want is just enough $$ for me to get the Exclaims.
I will post pictures on the classified next week.

When you go to the Tire Rack website, you can bring up subjective customer reviews of virtually every tire they sell, so if you were so inclined you could compare variables and decide for yourself if they are all-season or not. Happy hunting!

My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
FYI, the tires seems to be on backordered on tirerack for the 275/30/19 General UHP. I check with the sales guy and he said it's on backordered for ~60 days! So I am thinking of just getting it at america's tire.
Just wondering, is the PS2 you want to get rid of the larger M6 size (255/40/19 and 295/35/19)?

They are 255/40/19 and 285/35/19...they are M6 sized but supposively the same as the E60 M5's.

UHP stands for ultra high performance.
Decent tire for the price, but definitely better performing tires out there.
Oh and I just look at tiresavings.com and many of their "ratings" are not very accurate.
