172 Cup with Exalto2 Tyres

[CRS172]

Quieter, Slightly better ride (only slightly), More grip, 0.1secs off the 0 to 60 time, braking slightly better.

Not had the pleasure of trying them in wet but, it will only be a matter of time.

They do have more grip than the contis, Not by much but you can tell they do especially slow corners (2nd gear, roundabout exits)

Were those measurements versus the old worn out tyres, or when the orginals were new?

Were the Exalto2 tyres the bigger size, same as 182?

I thought the pilot sxs on my Saxo were miles better than my cups contis

New vs New... No point comparing old vs new.

Any more news on the PE2s ? Do you still like them ???

Ive got four Pilot Exalto 2s on my Williams in 185/55/15. Lovely tyres, just a little expensive.

I wouldnt make claims about 0-60 reduction (just take a dump before you go for a drive instead), but theyre nice and do the job better than any other tyre Ive had.

Still like them...yep. They are better than the std tyres. IMO.

Still plenty of grip and not too bad in the wet either.
