[Shotimes] Semi (OT) Another A/S Tire Test

[Ron Porter]

I was cleaning out the Inbox, and found the link for a Tire Rack test of a
few A/S tires:

GY RSA
Conti ExtremeContact
Potenza RE950
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S (the new tire)

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/mi_pilot_exalto_as.jsp

Exalto came out very well. In looking it up, it is priced reasonably for a
Michelin tire (meaning: not as overpriced as most Michelins are....gotta pay
for those 35-hour workweeks and 6 week vacations!!) at $126 for a 225/55/16.
Only issue is that they are pretty heavy at 26#s.

FWIW, I have Pilot Exalto PE2 summer tires on my car.  Like them thus far,
and we'll see the real test at Putnam Park in a few weeks.
