General Exclaim UHP vs Yokahama S-Drive

I am looking at a new set of tires but am undecided. After going to Tire Rack and looking thru the selection, I am down to 2.

The Yokohama S-drive and the General Exclaim UHP.

Both are very similar in every aspect. Weight (within 2 pounds), tire wear, noise, traction, warranty, everything.

The two differences I have are price
General $108/tire
Yokohama $155/tire

And reviews
General has some positive and negative. Claims of "soft" sidewalls and a couple claims of "bubble in sidewalls" have me concerned. While Yokohama has only raves. Plus Yokohamas have great track feedback.

Who here has Generals?

The salesman that I had ordered the Bfgoodriches from referred them to me, but I am a little cautious of what salesmen tell me.

So, does anyone have any first had experience with these??? Because, I'll probably be ordering them tomorrow so I can put my wheels on.
