Hi,

I need a pair of new tyres for the rear and my local tyre fitter has Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Exalto PE2 in stock, about the same price (PE2 is £5 more).

I have read a few reviews and the Pilot Sport 4 seems to be favoured over the PE2. The PE2 is however a UHP tyre and is a Porsche N0 tyre, so which is best?

I am not bothered about wear, the tyre ages before it wears as I don't do many miles and I am not bothered about really wet or snow as I have a 4x4 for that.

What I want is a good tyre that gives good grip and comfort (my present tyres have gone hard and I can feel every bump).
