I cant recommend them. theyve held up for me so far very nicely but theyre really noisy and dont stretch that well. Im running 235/35 on a 9.5.

Doesn't stretch well meaning that it seems like it may be a little large in relation to typical tyres or in relation to smaller tyres?
any pictures of your Generals mounted?

yeh, i wouldnt recommend them. theyre cheap and have a crazy high tread rating (i think almost 400)
BUT they are loud and dont stetch well just as brandicus said. also ive had..4 sidewall blowouts so far. in less than a year. i know, a lot of people go thru tires like crazy, but ive been super careful and i think if i had some high end tires id cut down my blowouts by at least half. the sidewall is soft like gum.:shrug:

i dont think they stretch as nics as falkins452 but i think they last long due to that their rubber being hard compared to 452 soft rubber..

I can't say regarding stretch since I have 245 / 275 on 9 / 10 wheels, but I've been on them for 2 years. The tires do angle in though. I don't think they're loud at all, I love them and highly recommend them, on the fwy I can't hear them whatsoever. Handling is great, traction is great, tread pattern looks cool, overall a great tire.
They're #1 rated in the Ultra High Performance "Summer" category on tirerack.com. Not that it matters to any of us cause our cars aren't capable of exceeding or even meeting the W rating, but they're W rated which is good for over 168 MPH & General is owned by Continental.

its not an extreme stretch like most people here but its not the normal tires to put on that width wheels..

sorry all I had were some cell phone pics. It could be my ride height or that im spoiled but i find the noise generated by the generals to be unacceptable between 25-50mph. I agree it gets better on the freeway or It could be that I crank my music up.
heres my feds 245/35, this is what i like to see.

I have generals as well but I dont find them to be too noisy at freeway but more like from 25-0. Theyre not too bad esp for the price. The stretch is okay but then again I have a conservative stretch. 265-10.5 /235-9.5 Ill try to post some pics when I get home.

Hmm, Ive had absolutely no complaints with my General Exclaim UHP's. I have 225/35's on my 9.5's and 235/35's on my 10's and they hold up very well. ive even hit potholes big enough to bend all my damn wheels and the tires held up fine. Slight road noise but not to the point where they are unbearable, and its mostly because my front Toe needs adjustment.... For the price theyre pretty hard to beat, and the size selection is nice.
