Michelin 105120556117 Pilot Exalto PE2 195/55R15 85V Classic Performance Tire

The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 is a summer sport performance tire purpose-built for classic and vintage sports cars. Born in the early 2000s from Michelin's motorsport heritage, the PE2 has been reborn in new dimensions and modernized to meet current safety and environmental standards — all while preserving its original design and performance character.

Key Features:

• Variable Contact Patch (VCP): Proprietary technology that increases the tread area in contact with the road as cornering forces build, delivering progressive and confident grip through turns
• ALM Rubber Compound: Adhesion and Longevity Maximized compound developed from competition use, engineered to provide the high grip levels demanded by sports vehicles
• Asymmetric Tread Design: Dual asymmetric tread pattern combines two distinct tread zones for optimum wet and dry grip, with a variable groove-to-rubber ratio that maximizes water evacuation
• Competition-Proven Heritage: Developed with Michelin's extensive motorsport experience, the PE2 delivers the precision and endurance that made it a favorite among sporting drivers
• Current Safety Standards: Updated rubber mixtures and casing construction meet modern environmental and safety regulations without altering the tire's classic performance profile
