that's pretty poor given how much you can get PE2's for.http://camskill.co.uk/m53b0s99p69263/MICHELIN_TYRES_CAR_MICHELIN_EXALTO2_PILOT_EXALTO_2_-_195_50R15_82V_TL_ £230 derriverrred  or a decent slightly cheaper alternative http://camskill.co.uk/m53b0s99p12884/FALKEN_TYRES_CAR_FALKEN_ZE912_ZIEX_FALKEN_ZE_912_-_195_50R15_82V_TL_ £169. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Are they T1Rs?Last lot I got about 18 months ago were about £130 delivered, and then £20 cash in hand for a place to fit and balance them. Bear in mind, cyclone wheels are centreless, so make sure the place that is quoting you can accomodate this. PE2's (Michelin Exalto PE2) are a good tyre. Much better than T1Rs. I have both on different cars at the moment and can really tell the difference. Well worth the difference in price. ________________________________________  |

50's on standard height cars look like cyclones wrapped in elastic bands.If its dropped then not bad. However I think I still prefer 55's |

Its not that bad....Anyway if you do buy the PE2s then increase your normal tyre pressure by a couple of psi to help with the soft sidewalls. They are very good all round tyres, wear lots better than the toyos and are amazing in the wet. Also very, very light weight so better acceleration and more mpg. Its all good ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I got pe2's, awesome tire in the wet and dry! T1r's wear faster (much faster) and don't grip anywhere near as good. Well worth the extra money. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
