Hey Too Easy, what do you think about the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S? I can get it from Discount Tire for about what it costs online. I can get the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S for slightly less online, but I really think the Exalto might work better. By the way, how many miles did you get out of the Dunlop 5000 sp?

I like both Michelins, I intended to go with the Pilot Sport, but the Yoko was a really good choice for me. You'll be happy with either one.

I don't know how many miles I could have gotten out of the SP5000, my first one had about 20,000 miles when I got a cut by the sidewall and it still had plenty of rubber left in it, I replaced it with a used SP5000 that I used for about 5,000 miles, then I bought the Yoko.

If you intend to change both tires, change the rear first, this will make it a lot easier to troubleshoot any wobbles.


Regards,

Thanks for the response Too Easy. I won't be changing the front tire as it only has about 10k on it. It is a Commander II. I will move ahead on this so that I will be darksiding by the summer. I'm looking forward to it.
