Default Tire Recomendation

Is anyone using Cooper, General, or Falken tires on their C5?

I just installed Generals back in June. I have absolutely no complaints, and it is my DD. They are much quieter than the GY run flats.

How many miles do you have on the Generals? Are they the Exclaims? How are they in the rain?

I have about 2000 miles on them right now. Yes, they are the Exclaim UHP's. It actually hasn't rained here much since I got them, but their reviews say they are supposed to be great in the rain. With the deep groove in the tread, I believe it.
