Michelin Exalto A/S tires-anyone used?

[Russell]

These seem to be highly rated All season tires by Tirerack, etc. Any one have real world experience with them in 225x60x15 and/or 235x45x17? Plan to use them here in central KY all year long.

Could not easily find anything via the search. thought I would ask. TIA

Yup, I've been using them for the past couple of years. One set on my daughters car, the other on my wifes '01 E39 525i in 225-55-16. They are the best tire I've used on her car. The traction is good all around and I was shocked to see her with 43k miles on the set and with lots of life left and they're still quiet! Remarkable!!! They are warrantied for 40k. I think it's the best all around tire thats on the market today and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another set.

I believe they are only available in an "H" speed rating, I do wish they made 18's....

It's a very good tire at a decent price.

Hope this helps,
JR

I put a set on my wife's e36 325ic, stock 205-60-15. I haven't driven it much but they do seem to be a decent tire. Very quiet and comfortable and handle pretty well. A bit mushy for my taste but she's very happy with them.

Thanks everyone. Think I will get them in 235x45x17 for my "new to me" style 32 wheels.

found a set in the yard and installed them on da shark, they seem ok after 2-3 weeks, i autocrossed them the day after i installed them and they seemed to hang on pretty good after i pumped the fronts up to 45 or so pounds to make em stop rolling over, not much rain yet, i am not a huge michelin fan as most of them have pissed me off one way or another plus the fact that they are ungodly expensive, and they are generally a pain to mount and dismount compared to most other tires
