original 182 cup tyres

[cup182 racing blue]

which tyres were originally on clio 182 cup

 

[Green_Speed_Machine]

Michelin Pilot exalto pe2's. 205/45's. There was a difference originally between the cups tyres and the reg 182's as the cups had stiffer sidewalls. I think there was a red dot on these. But I think they phased the softer ones out.

Yup!!... Softer, standard PE2's had a little green dot.

From Michelin:

Michelin do, indeed, produce 3 products in the basic tyre size & tread pattern mentioned:

205/45 R 16 83V ‘New Pilot Exalto (PE2)’ (V=Max speed 149mph)
205/45 ZR 16 83W ‘New Pilot Exalto (PE2)’ (W=Max speed 168mph)
205/45 ZR 16 87W ‘New Pilot Exalto (PE2)’ Extra Load (High load @ high pressure)

The ‘V’ Speed Rated product is the preferred fitment for the quoted vehicle model.
Initially, 2 products were available, but this situation was ‘honed’ down to the one product, listed above, ‘tuned’ to that specific suspension setup & fitted as original equipment.

The other 2 products listed are ‘tuned’ to different manufacturers’ vehicle models. The ‘83W’ product would be an option, only in case of difficulty with supply/availability of the ‘83V’.

The ‘87W Extra Load’ product would not be considered valid for the quoted model, being designed for a potentially heavier vehicle: higher load capacity at increased tyre inflation pressure value.



Thank your for your interest in Michelin.

Yours sincerely

Well done! Can this info be saved somewhere on here if it hasn't been already? ^^^^

On a 182 is it a good idea to only use the Pilot Exaltos or does something like some good Bridgestone or Toyo proxes do an equally good job?

 

[martandem]

[Perry]
