[Iain C]

EVo rekons michelin exalto 2 as fitted to the 182 are great...

So has n e one fitted em to a 172 or cup?

Anyone know how much they cost?.....Yozza???

I think there a bit new ,i cant find anything on the net(only the old ones )

If there good enough for an M3 CSL then i think your car will cope ok.

are you sure they are the ones on the CSL as they are famed for not being able to go out in the wet as its like driving on ice, I even read somewhere that BMW make you sign a disclaimer to say you know that the tyre are not designed for the wet.

I read that the Exalto 2s are specifically designed for the 182?

^^^^

I was just about to bring up that point about the CSL!

according to this site

http://www.bmwworld.com/models/m3_csl.htmhttp://www.bmwworld.com/models/m3_csl.htm

they are:

The tyres of the M3 CSL are also very special: The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres developed specifically for this car measure 235/35 ZR 19 at the front and 265/30 ZR 19 at the rear and run on 8½ J x 19 (front) and 9½ J x 19 (rear) aluminium wheels also developed especially for this car.

Seems EVO cant always be right

No, theyre not the same as the CSL.

youll have to get used to that with us 182s (0-60 6.6sec) around now

P.S (I am jk and dont want to start a war!)

BEst start binning seats, carpet and anything thats not bolted down to keep ahead of the 182s.....That may get rid of some of the rattles as well

Spoke to the tyre place at Costco, who phoned up michelin.

The Exalto 2s will be out on general sale in April.....no price or fitment.

so what the hell do we do if we get a flat in the mean time, we havent got a spare wheel in the 182?

use that tin of shaving foam they gave u - LOL.

hopefully if u do pop one it wont just be a repairable puncture, cos I think that foam renders the tyre unrepairable.

It is worth checking to see if they work with the cup set-up as this increase in tyre width would effect the rolling radius.

Only for those who worry about .2 to 100 mph races with 182s
