Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S (High Performance All-Season)

Is this now the Michilin to go with, the 235s getting close? Am sticking with OEM wheel size, so replacement options very limited.

Thanks!

225 in V or 215 in H Exaltos are what most use.I have the same situation with 235 on front and now new 225 V on rear.

QAfter using the XGT in both 225 and 235 sizes{3 sets} and now on my second set of 225 V Exaltos, I can tell you the Exalto is a MUCH, MUCH better tire all around than the XGT.

I have been very happy with my Pilot Exaltos as well. John... did you ever get that electrical gremlin figured out?

I did, and, thanks for asking!

Plz see Ch #3 on the battery mystery and its solving! As I said, live and learn!

All of the electrical flows, to and fro, fried something in the OEM radio head, so I must pull this weekend to see if the small fuse on its rear is history. Bought a spare head from a NICO guy some years ago, that I keep, just in case, trying desperately to keep the thing as OEM as possible! My parts Q has a unit which might be OK, but.....) I would like an up-to-date system which would allow CD useage (coming across country recently, one CD book lasted nearly the entire 2000 mile trip!)! I guess I am un-American in that respect, not listening to the radio when driving "with exuberance" as the Q demands, it being distracting.

Tommy Baker's guys gave me a QX56 as a loner and, WOW, what a vehicle! Drives like no other SUV I have ever driven! Now, if you could only afford to keep fuel in it!
