I'd have to agree with the comment that said "if you havent driven them don't talk about them." Rating these on name alone gets you nowhere. Here are a few facts to ponder: Exclaim UHP is the top of the line of performance tires by General. General is a subsidiary of Continental - they share the same research labs and manufacturing plants. So if you like Contis, you are bound to like the Exclaim. Several "non-affiliated" tire rating experts have given these tires high marks on and off the track.

I happen to own a set of 19s on my S. They are great for aggressive street driving (both dry and wet). I can't speak to track or autoX experience since I haven't done those lately. These came after sets of P-Rossos, and Yokahamas.

Yeah I probably wouldn't want to use them autoxing at all even in street tire class. When I used to x I found pirelli p 700s not 7000s were excellent for that class. Not sure if you can even find them now. Just curious why would you x with a boxster and not weekend road race. Our ponys are ment to run. Miata is more the x er.
