Does this look like a Michelin Pilot Exalto? ............

..................

have managed to get a part worn Michelin Exalto and will be collecting Monday next week. Only thing is the seller has told me that the picture is definately the exact tyre. The tread pattern does not look like an Exalto to me!

Size is 205/45/16 'V' rated.

Does this look like an Exalto?

Thanks

Any ideas what tyre it is?

Thanks for the replies. I have PE2's and 1 PS3 on the Trophy and pattern is definately different.

Out of interest did they do a tyre before the PE2's?

Cheers!

I assume the A/S stands for asymmetric.

I better go and take a look at the garage next week - this is intriguing!!

A/S stands for 'All Seasons' so I've read but have a feeling they do not make a 205/45/16 sized Exalto A/S. I imagine the garage have listed the item incorrectly and more likely to be a 205/55/16.

^ this one is different though - it has 4 longitudinal grooves instead of 2 like the one in the first link
