I had General Exclaim UHPs for a short while last year. Since they're directional tires, you can't rotate them. And on a lowered W211, you can't really can't adjust the alignment enough to offset the negative camber. Point is, I blew through those tires in about 8K miles. They still had tread but they were so incredibly loud, from the uneven wear, I had to ditch them.


I hope you have better luck.
