Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S Tire

Price Paid:  $104.00 from Smyrna Tire

Year / Model Reviewed:
1999 VW Jetta

Strengths:
Sticky, quiet

Weaknesses:
Tread life - effectively shot @23K

Summary:
An all around excellent tire, except for treadwear.
Total miles < 24K.

Sticky wet or dry, until the tread depth is 4/32 or less.
They are getting squirrelly - unexpected spin, slides
in the wet. Michelin won't act until the depth is 2/32.
Haven't written to upper management yet, but I'm going to. No reason I should put safety at risk because Michelin won't stand behind warranty.
