General Exclaim tires....I know they are cheap as hell and you get what you pay for, but at this point I dont care. I am running very low on funds and need tires for the new wheels. My only concern is how well they stretch. I am going to run a 215/40/17 on a 17x9. I am not concerned about how long they last and perform, seeing how I never drive my car. . any imput would be cool. Thanks

Falkens are still more expensive. I can get the Generals for $292.86 shipped.. The falkens are around $325.. But if the Generals arent going to stretch then Im going to have to spend the extra $ which would suck.

My suggestion would be to look a little bit harder, about a year ago, I found falkens for under $200 shipped. ($198.xx) I know it was a year ago and prices probably have gone up, but I can't imagine that they've gone up that much. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got the tires from, sorry.

i have the general's and in terms of performance they arent a bad tire for a daily driver...lots of grip in dry and wet and good lateral grip as well...i dunno if they are any good for stretching tho...when i was installing them on my rim they did seem to have a really stiff sidewall...dont think they'll stretch
