Product Information
Full details
The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 is a high-performance summer tire designed for sports cars, offering drivers exceptional handling and precise steering. Its key benefit is superior grip and cornering stability, especially in dry conditions. A primary caveat is that this tire is not designed for use in sub-zero temperatures, snow, or ice. Key features include an asymmetrical tread pattern for enhanced dry grip, Variable Contact Patch (VCP) technology for reduced noise, and a Life Maximized Adherence (LMA) tread compound for increased tire-to-road contact.

FAQs
What is the intended operating temperature range for the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2?
The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 is a summer tire and performs best in temperatures above 40°F (4°C). It is not designed for use in freezing temperatures, snow, or ice.
How does the asymmetrical tread pattern benefit my driving?
The asymmetrical tread pattern with large outer shoulder blocks and a continuous centre rib enhances dry grip, improves cornering stability, and helps reduce the risk of aquaplaning by efficiently channeling water away from the contact patch.
Is this tire suitable for daily commuting?
Yes, while designed for performance, the Pilot Exalto PE2 offers predictable handling and reduced noise through its VCP technology, making it suitable for daily use in appropriate climate conditions.
What is the benefit of Michelin's VCP technology?
Variable Contact Patch (VCP) technology optimizes the tire's contact with the road, leading to more even wear, enhanced traction, and reduced noise for a more comfortable driving experience.
How often should I rotate my Pilot Exalto PE2 tires?
It is recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to ensure even wear and maximize their lifespan.
Can I use these tires in winter conditions?
No, the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 is a summer tire and should not be used in sub-zero temperatures, snow, or ice. Using them in such conditions will result in severely compromised traction and safety.
Troubleshooting
Increased road noise.
Ensure tires are properly inflated and balanced. Check for uneven wear patterns which may indicate alignment issues. The VCP technology aims to reduce noise, but some level is inherent to performance tires.
Reduced grip in wet conditions.
While designed to reduce aquaplaning, this is a summer tire. Performance will be lower than in dry conditions. Ensure tire tread depth is adequate. Avoid driving in standing water at high speeds.
Tire wear is uneven.
Check tire pressure regularly. Consult a professional for wheel alignment and balancing services. Tire rotation is recommended every 5,000-7,500 miles.
Vibration or shaking while driving.
This usually indicates a need for tire balancing. Visit a tire professional to have the wheels balanced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 is designed to be installed by certified tire professionals. Ensure that the tire size, speed rating, and load index match the specifications recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Proper inflation is critical for performance and safety; consult your vehicle's owner's manual or doorjamb sticker for the correct PSI.
Compatibility: This tire is a summer performance tire. It is compatible with a wide range of sports cars and performance sedans that require summer tires. It is *not* compatible with vehicles requiring all-season or winter tires, nor should it be used in climates experiencing regular sub-zero temperatures, snow, or ice.
Care:
- Rotation: Regularly rotate your tires (typically every 5,000-7,500 miles) to ensure even wear and maximize their lifespan.
- Alignment and Balancing: Periodically check your vehicle's wheel alignment and tire balance. Misalignment or imbalance can lead to premature tire wear and affect handling.
- Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect tires for signs of wear, damage, or foreign objects. Check tread depth to ensure it remains within safe limits.
- Cleaning: Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or petroleum-based products, which can degrade the rubber.
