Michelin Pilot EXALTO PE2 on front tyres, what to chose rear

[Mawrick 0]

As the Michelin Pilot EXALTO PE2 isn't available in 225/40/16 (hopefully able to fit on the C in the rear - if not please feel free to tell).

 

As I think I might something bigger for the 9" rims in the back then 215/40/16 I'v been thinking of 225/40/16 in the rear, but Michelin doesn't make those tires in that size.

 

Option from where I order is:

 

Dunlop SP SPORT 9000

 

Toyo PROXES T1-R

 

Dunlop DOT 2007 SP SPORT 9000

 

uniroyal rainsport 2

 

Falken ZIEX ZE-912

 

Any tips on what would could be an option?......

Can you get these, very highly rated and a good price here in the UK?

I might - but will have to look into that - at least have to get them localy (I'm ordering the other ones from germany actually). reason : saves me roughly £2-300 on em.........it's a shame but that's how it is here.....

 

And they always try to push on some cheaper tires when I ask for the michelin ones (I presume they have a better "pay off" on the other tires they have lol)

happen to know anything about those toyo tires? (I'v always been sceptical - but seem to have gotten quite a few good reviews)....

Wow, 225's would rub wouldn't they? If not, then thats a good amount of rubber to get down on the road :clap:

Not sure m8 - I was thinking of 215 but think they will be a bit "narrow" for a 9" rim ?.....

I've got standard arches and had 8x17 alloys with 215's on the back. They rubbed on the edge and sidewall. They had an ET35. Hope this helps.

Ended up getting 215/40/16 Pilot Exalto all around - also on the 9" in the rear.

 

Was a bi*** to get on but worked out in the end :)

 

And No rubbing (although I still have to lower it more though...;) )
