In the early 2000s, the MICHELIN Pilot Exalto PE2 Tire was born and this 195/50R15 is a current offering available at Coker Tire. Backed by the Michelin's experience in competition, and seeking to provide a higher level of performance, this Tire initiated an asymmetrical tread with a variable contact patch, where the footprint increased when cornering. A favorite among sporting drivers, it has remained memorable for its precision and endurance. The MICHELIN Pilot Exalto PE2 Tire has been reborn 20 years later, in some previously unseen dimensions. It has been modernized in order to meet current safety standards, without modifying its design and performance characteristics. After numerous tests, carried out on future classic models to validate its performance criteria, the MICHELIN Pilot Exalto PE2 is the perfect Tire for sports and roadster cars. Thanks to the use of optimized rubber mixtures and casings, this range responds perfectly to current environmental and safety standards.
