Have been some good reviews on the General Exclaim UHPs - price is pretty decent too.

First, take a look at this very extensive tire test by Car & Driver magazine:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...mparison_tests
I believe the reason why they did not test the General Exclaims is that many consider them to be all-season tires and not direct competition with some of the better tires on this list and among the top-tier super high-performance tires like the PS2s, the Goodyear GSD3s and the BF Goodrich KDW2s.
If you drive your car aggressively and do not want to downgrade, stick with top-tier or those that make up the first 3 on the car & driver list.
However, if you drive with the flow of traffic and don't ever kick in the active handling, the General Exclaims will do just fine.

Nitto NT-05. I am making close to 490 at the wheel on an 03Z and these will stick on a warm day and offer great traction on a cold one. Plus you feel much more confident at the break away point in the curves. Not a bad price either. For what it is worth these are also on my C6Z and these are leaps and bounds above the goodyears. Good luck!
