Excellent Michelins for Classic Porsches
I replaced all four 7-year old Michelin Pilot Sports on my 1982 Porswche 911sc Targa with the newer Michelin Pilot Exalto tires. What a difference! My 39-year old Porsche 911sc runs much smoother and the adhesion/grip is certainly more noticeable. Well done Michelin. Customer for life.

Great Service and very professional. These tires went on a 1996 BMW Z3 with only 22000 miles.

Classic 911
Very smooth, silky quiet ride that does not get harsh as the tires wear, sidewall is stiff enough to give good response when pushed but compliant for the street. Pretty much all tires are smooth when new what sets these apart is their ability to maintain the ride quality and feel down to the tread war bar. Simply still the best. A word to Michelin; please don't stop making them.

Would buy again
Loves these tires. They dont have them anymore for my size so i replaced with the Super Sports. In my opinion the Exalto PE2's lasted at least 25k-30k miles. Loved the tire, was way more comfortable and smooth than the Super Sports despite the rating. These tires are plenty awesome in dry performance but seem just a tiny bit worse in the west than the Super Sports. I would have bought again just because they are excellent performance and god comfort. Some complain of MPG drop, but my MPG was exactly the same and at the best for what the vehicle can get.

Nice grip; lower mileage
Hi. I replaced my OEM tires with these Michelin tires because they were recommended by my trusted tire store. Initially, I was VERY happy with the tires...quiet, smooth with good traction. Then I filled up my car & found that my gas mileage went from 30 MPG to 25 MPG. Not happy with that stat at all. I did go back up to 28 MPG on a LONG Thanksgiving trip from NY to DC, but I'll be looking to see what the mileage number looks like when I return back to normal driving. Be safe out there & remember that we're all in this together. Peace, FG

OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: BMW = BMW, POR = Porsche
>> 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 160mph (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 |
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.
