Tyre reviews Michelin Pilot Exalto 125
Good tires, installed on Passat B3... speed is super, holds sharp turns.. noisy, but that's not the main thing for me. Tires for active drivers, in general I recommend, if not for one but.. recently I scratched one wheel on the curb, sidewall cut.. patched it up, but I'll be replacing or looking for the same ones. By the way, I have 195/60/15, maybe someone has some?

Hello everyone!
I've been running on 215/45 R17 tyres, out of the 4, 3 of them have burst (along with the rims) and the rubber is prone to cracking. They do hold the road well on straight, flat stretches, but you need to keep a firm grip when cornering. No aquaplaning noticed in the city at speeds up to 80 km/h. Very noisy, especially on coarse asphalt. Overall, these tyres are

The tire is normal, but the price... Moreover, it can't be compared to Pirelli P6 - it's noisier, and on wet pavement, it floats (although, of course, after the allowed 90 km/h). What's strange, I also damaged the sidewall beyond recovery by hitting a curb. Is this a coincidence? Moreover, according to tests, Pilot Primacy is better in all aspects than Exalto. So think about it - if you find them cheap

I put 195/50R15 Michelin on my 2004 Polo and it handles very well. It can’t, not surprisingly, but I can take it to 120km/h and back down again. I take on board what everyone said about this tyre being very grippy but you have to be extremely careful on a wet road, especially trying to avoid sharp edges of road markings and manhole covers. Despite all this, I knew what to expect from this tyre and wanted it -

Complete crap. It whines, squeals and spews smoke when starting up a hill. If the temperature is below -5°C, it's better to walk. I have a mountainous area here. I don't know why I listened to that salesman at the store. Now I'm just trying to get the most out of it to justify the price. Weak belt - scared of contact with the curb. In general, for this money, there are much better options. Tomorrow, I'll

Bought them used: tires are great - hold the road well on both dry and wet pavement. I'll pick up another set like that.

The donkey rides in a Michelin barrel
I have great respect for Michelin, I only ride on Michelin. Everything is good about Michelin except for the Exalto model. Michelin should refund money to its customers for this tire.

excellent tire, behaves well on wet and dry road. minus - weak sidewall (fears impacts), and so rolled 2 sets super! 18-03-2009- Rate
