The last person you want to ask is a tyre fitter. How often do you think someone pops in and goes ".... you know those PS3's you fitted to replace the PE2's I had previously? Well they're fantastic! They grip in the wet and are predictable in the dry....."

Never ask a tyre fitter for advice on tyres..... have you ever seen a tyre fitter change the tyres on a car and go out for a drive to see what they're like?

Well at least they are knowledgable about advertising material? = ) Maybe michelin markets the two tires differently! or i will just check myself on the website.

and have you ever seen manufacturers marketing stuff that says how their new product isn't as good as the old one?

so the pilot sport 3 is newer than the pilot exalto 2?
btw if we go by the EURO ratings, the wet weather performance of the pilot sport 3 is A while the pilot exalto 2 is B = )

and that's just one rating in certain conditions One could argue that Michelin have tuned the PS3 to work well in the test conditions and that it could possibly be a worse tyre in the real world, just a suggestion and not necessarily a statement of fact
