Default General Tire - Exclaim UHP (Advice Needed)

Hey Guys....

I am going to be replacing my worn Pilots in the near future.
What do you think of these????

Discount Tire
General Tire - Exclaim UHP

Front: 225/40-18XL 91W BSW @ $112 each
Rear: 255/35R19XL 96Y BSW @ $203 each

Discount Tire offers a $25 discount for buying and making an appointment on line.
In addition, General will send a $50 Visa Card as well.

Does anyone know how high I can go on the front and back.
I want to fill the wheel well a little more and also get a slightly softer ride as my 06 LTD is a daily driver.

I am not so much worried about cornering performance as I don't get on it very often but I do engage the WARP SPEED button from time to time.

Any advice would be appreciated

It's very easy to do!

On the front, you must be careful to avoid the Upper Balljoint Nut. If you stick your hand in along the top center of the tire you will feel it. Only ~ 1/2" of clearance.

I just installed

Front 235/35X19 ET 35 (Bigger Rims with no issues)

Rear 275/30X20 ET 30 (Bigger rims with no issues).

Use these as "Original" sizes and do not exceed.
Should work.

I will plug those numbers into the calculator to see the overall profile change.


Looks like Tire Rack has the Exclaim UHP's for less, including shipping, I will see if Discount Tire will price match.

Thanks Again Maxcichon....
