Michelin tyre question

[Justin182]

Hi there, Thinking i getting a couple new tyres for the 182 and wondered if anyone here knows the difference between these two tyres which are for sale on www.mytyres.co.uk Can you not get an Exalto with stiffer side walls or something?

the v and w are the speed rating.

They're all stiffer side walls now IIRC.

and £75 each from Yozzasport

205/45 16 83V is the correct size and speed rating, W is a higher speed rating but fine to use

V is up to 149mph so is fine.
