Default 99 GS400 tires

Thinking of new tires, does anyone have a suggestion? Goodyear Eagles are on car now, not sure how old they are.

I have General Exclaim UHP's and they are fantastic. They have awesome grip in dry/hot weather and grip really well in the rain. The tires are also not very expensive so it's great to have an outstanding performing tire that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Like do you mean as in performance tires or all-weather tires?

For performance I would highly recommend Toyo

For all-around I would recommend Goodyear or Michelins

reading reviews at places like tires.com and tirerack.com will help you narrow down your decision.

i just put on some general exclaim uhp's 245/45/17's from tirerack.com for about $350-$360. don't know if its that great yet but i have read a lot of reviews on it and seems like a lot of people like these tires and they also have great tread life.
