Comments about Pilot Exalto PE2:

I have recently put a set of Pilot Exalto PE2's on our sports car and we have been extremely pleased with their performance and ride. The are quiet and perform well in corners. No experience yet, in wet conditions. I would buy another set of these tires when the set we have wears out.

good summer tires, but poor size choices

Comments about Pilot Exalto PE2:

These PE2's are great summer-only tires. Excellent handling characteristics in wet as well as dry conditions, and reasonably comfortable (in 55 series) and quiet. But I am disappointed at the shrinking size choices. My wife's car (also with PE2's) got a nasty puncture, and when I went to buy a replacement, I found that her size was no longer available, so I had to buy two new tires in a slightly smaller size so her car would be balanced right-to-left. Michelin, if you start out with a new model offering a size, you should keep it up for at least as long as you sell that particular model. Not a good way to maintain customer loyalty! This cost me twice as much as it should have!

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

XL = Extra Load

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

V-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130 136 143 149
Inflation Increase (psi) 0 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 5
Load Capacity (% of max) 100 100 100 100 100 100 97 94 91

W-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 118 124 130 136 143 149 155 161 168
Inflation Increase (psi) 0 1.5 3.0 4.5 6.0 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5
Load Capacity (% of max) 100 100 100 100 100 100 95 90 85

For speeds above 186 mph (300 kph), consult your vehicle manufacturer and tire dealer.
