How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
60/100From 5 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The General Exclaim UHP is viewed by users as an affordable, touring-oriented daily commuter tire that punches above its weight class in treadwear longevity and ride comfort. While dry and snow traction fall short of strict ultra-high-performance standards, users generally appreciate its value, wet weather competence, and civilized street manners.
Pros
- Exceptional treadwear and long tire life for a performance-oriented category
- Great value for the price paid
- Good dry traction and excellent wet traction
- Comfortable ride quality prioritizing touring characteristics
Cons
- Below-average dry grip compared to mid-range UHP standards
- Poor performance in snow requiring slow and cautious driving
- Increases in noise levels as the tire wears down
- Soft sidewalls leading to undulation during rapid multiple transitions
Worth knowing
- RWD roadster owners, such as the Mazda Miata PRHT, find the tires manageable in dry and wet conditions but note limitations during winter snow driving.
- Users note that despite the UHP branding, the tire behaves more like a touring-focused option well-suited for daily commuting.
