on overall rating score for 14 different performance
factors.
Ratings provided by
Tire Rack
Note:
The overall ranking of a tire
may not be the best judge of it's performance capabilities
for you.
Look at how each tire performed in the individual
performance factors and decide which is the most important
for your driving style and needs.
Example:
The number one ranked tire may
rate low for tread wear which is your most important
consideration when choosing a new tire. But...the number 3
ranked tire may have a better customer rating for tread wear
which might make this your better choice. To

The Number 1 Rated Tire
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S radials are the entry-level
High Performance All-Season members of Michelin's Pilot
family of performance tires. They are built for sports cars,
coupes and sedans to blend responsive handling and long wear
with year-round traction, even in light snow.
On the outside, these tires feature Michelin's Life
Maximized All-Season Adherence Compounding (formulated to
balance dry grip, wet traction, light snow traction, and
tread wear) molded into a directional tread design to
provide handling in nearly every weather condition.
Siped independent tread blocks combined with wide
circumferential grooves and variable width lateral tread
grooves help take water from under the contact patch to
resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction.
Internally, the Pilot Exalto A/S radial's twin steel belts
are reinforced using Michelin's Banded At Zero (BAZ)
technology (spiral-wrapped reinforcement) to stabilize the
tread area, allowing it to withstand centrifugal forces at
high speeds while minimizing tire weight and improving ride
uniformity.
