never tried them.
i've run flaken 452- they were pretty decent, altho easy to break traction, but better than oem
currently running Dunlop direzza star specs and they are great, sticky when warm, good tread wear, and i got them for a decent price. Altho i find that the sidewall is a bit softer than the 452's.
all i gotta say is, don't cheap out on tires. it's one of the biggest performance handling mod you can do.

Never cheap out of tires... I have gone through 3 sets of Falken , 452 and 512 ... & absolutely loved them...
However, currently i am running on Hankook Ventus R-s2 and I luve these tires too.... but they are not available for order right now (and idk why!)
so i was just reading these reviews on tirerack about those General Exclaim and i thought maybe i should talk to some other ppl before i purchase them.

Dunlop or Kumho or BFGoodrich ??
Well I need new tires also and with the weather down here being random at best I'm going with Continental ExtremeContact DWS Tire.
Also I want some tires with a better trend life as I drive 40 miles one way to work.
I think the Sticky verison of the tire is Continental ExtremeContact DW Tire.

i think the rs-2 are discontinued. the rs-3 is the new replacement.
I also find that the 452's had a much stiffer sidewall, and a higher speed rating than the Star specs. Maybe the stiffer sidewall is due to the higher speed rating?? I just found the 452's had more initial response.
