Hiya all, I've got a 1.4mpi Fabia Comfort that i drive 'enthusiastically' and scared myself silly today with the rain. Currently got Michelin Energy tyres on the front, does anyone have experience with Michelin Exalto's ?

Dont mind sacrificing a bit of wear, just want a tyre that grips now and then !

Cheers.

RBW.

P.s. Probably especially bad today as lots of rain after a dry period, but the front end was breaking loose a ridiculously low speeds.

P.P.S Size is 185/60R14

I had 14inch steel wheels and Michelin Energy tyres (185/60R14, same as yours) on my fabia 1.4 comfort as well. Driving under heavy rain was so scary, I decided to grab a set of 16inch alloy with decent tyres ASAP. My fabia now with VRS 16inch alloys Conti tyres on the front, Toyo at the back. They grip WAY BETTER than Michelin, feel safe under heavy rain (tested on A1 this Wednesday), make the car look smarter, and I suprise how well my Fabia corner too. Although they make my fabia accelerate little slower, and dropped few MPG, I am very happy with this upgrade after all.

Stuck some Dunlop SP200 Sports on my 14" alloys as the tyre place didn't have any Goodyear F1's in stock. Really impressed with the Dunlops, nice and grippy in wet and dry, quiet on the move and also wore down nice and slowly

Hi

In that size, I would be very tempted to try the Firestone TZ200. These are very good tyres wet or dry and far outclass the Michelins or Dunlops for grip. They are a silica compound tyre that also wears pretty well. They are also pretty quiet. Should cost you around
