General Exclaim UHP vs. BFG G-Force Sport

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the two.

General Exclaim UHP
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0

BFG G-Force Sports
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=1

I've read through the threads on here and also on tirerack.com which is making me lean more towards the Generals.

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way I need these is 225/50/17.

Thanks.

I got my g-force sport back 5k miles ago, through local costco filled with nitrogen at 35psi. 225/50-17. hella cheap at @ 110/tire @ $470 installed, lifetime rotation, balance and road hazard, and green caps too.

cant speak about the exclaim's, but the sport handling characteristics are sick. the point of losing adhesion, transitioning into a power slide is very high, but once it starts, it is very managable, and predictable. fairly quiet, the maxima sound db is not the lowest, bad sound proofing/design issue with back rear quarter window. have vogltand springs/ stock struts / fstb too

I have the Generals in 245/35/19

Road noise is increased a bit...but now that I have sound deadening in it's barely heard. Nothing that will annoy you really. And I'm fairly picky since I do a lot of highway driving.

The ride is nice, and handles great. I used to ride on the Bridgestone Turanzas that came stock and I found myself battling the steering wheel driving in rainy conditions. It's nice to have that peace of mind! Also if you want a sporty look the tread pattern is just right!

Can't beat the price!

i also role on the generals...they are str8. no complaints.
like jess said the tread pattern is pretty sick.
thay are also well priced for a 19 inch tire.
ive had them for one and a half summers...prolly put 10xxx miles on them. tread wear doesnt seam to be an isue.
noise isnt bad and they grip well.
id buy them again
