Had these tyres fitted to my 306 Rallye for approx 8k miles now And I love them. They are just awesome in the wet - quite easy to corner harder than some cars in the dry could. They are also very progressive near the limit with good grip recovery. With good feel, this gives you huge confidence to push on in inclement conditions. They also seem particularly good in slimy winter conditions- the type where the road never drys out thanks to its salt soup on top. Dry grip also very impressive. Fairly pricey, but I will definitely get another set

Very good in the wet compared to previous tyres and make the whole feel of the car a lot safer. The tyres are also progressive in the dry and wet which is helpful. Biggest downside for my has been the increased road noise but you can't have everything!

Michelin pilot exalto is a very good tyre for dry and wet roads. Basically fly round a corner and they just grip grip grip. I dont exactly drive slow and ive still managed 16000 miles which is very reasonable but will need replacing soon. Only draw back is the price, £100 a pop just for a fiesta. I had pirelli neros and there is no comparison to the exaclto. I would definately buy again but Im going to try uniroyal rainsport 2.

These tyres are amazing... I was lucky enough to lease the car, so they were paid for!! I would highly recommend these if you wanted a tyre with great wear, and great grip both wet and dry. Unfortunately they are not puncture proof... No longer in lease and hard times hitting home, I am no longer using the Michelin Tyres. I have noticed a real decrease in performance, and also a lack of grip in the wet! If you have the money, these in my opinion are the best tyres to use!

Good dry grip and great traction out of turns. I find the tyre likes to sit up on it's sidewall mid corner and exit. Excellent wet grip you can go nearly as fast as in the dry. They are a bit noisy at high speed. On prolonged high speed runs the tyre can overheat and subsequently lose grip. These tyres work best when cold and during cold conditions. Wear is reasonable but not great if you like to drive hard everyday. Overall an excellent tyre.

These tyres suit the Puma very well and give almost as much grip in the wet as in the dry! The only negative point is road noise and personally that doesn't bother me. I would always stick with these for my Puma.
