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.

I have a modified Opel Corsa 2006. Suspension : Bilstein B8 Sprint , HR springs and antiroll bars. As for the exalto 2 (195-50-15) I have to say that overall it is an excellent tire. Dry traction is very good and it has very good cornering stability too. Wet traction is very good also. (after all it is considered to be a rain tire) There is a problem unfortunately. Its responsiveness. Michelin tried to make a comfortable sports tire and the side walls are very very very soft. To us that have modified suspensions soft sidewalls ruin the cars responsiveness. In bends taken without pressing the car , the tire has an uncertainty which is annoying but as soon as you press more the exterior tread patch of the tire comes in contact with the road (1.6 degrees wheel camber) and the tire transforms offering grip and excellent stability. Now I moved to Yokohama Parada Spec-2 and the previous problem is fixed… stiff sidewalls at last. Not comfortable of course but who cares.
