Tire Description

The Pilot Exalto PE2 is Michelin's Ultra High Performance Summer tire designed to raise both the status and performance of small sporty cars, coupes and sedans that use low profile-sized tires. The Pilot Exalto PE2 was developed to provide crisp and responsive handling in both wet and dry conditions, however it is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. The Pilot Exalto PE2 uses Michelin's Life Maximized Adherence (LMA) tread compound to provide predictable handling and sustained levels of grip throughout the tire's life. The LMA tread compound is molded into Michelin's Variable Contact Patch (VCP) asymmetrical tread design with large independent outer shoulder tread blocks and a 70% rubber-to-road contact on the outboard portion of the tire's footprint to put more rubber on the road during extreme cornering enhancing responsiveness and sporty handling. The asymmetrical tread design also features 62% rubber-to-road contact on the inboard portion to enhance hydroplaning resistance and wet traction. Continuous center ribs help reduce noise while providing constant road contact to increase straight-line stability. The tire's internal structure features twin, high tensile steel belts fortified with Michelin's Banded At Zero (BAZ) technology (spirally wrapped reinforcement) to stabilize the tread area enhancing handling and high-speed capability. A rayon cord body and dual sidewall reinforcements help resist lateral deflection to generate cornering force and stability.

Customer Reviews

I bought these back in November 09 and they've been amazing. First thing I noticed after was my car felt like it was rolling on a pool table, they were so smooth. Previous tires were Bridgestone RE050's and ride quality is drastically improved. The next area is traction while driving in the twisties- the tires have amazing stability and the car always feels under control. I can take a corner at a high limit and not get nervous; the car feels very composed. Next is performance in the rain- I just drove through a serious rainstorm and it literally felt the same as driving on a dry road. I can't speak for performance driving in the wet but for regular driving they are outstanding. They have large channels between the treads so I'm sure that helps.
