[W126 Coupe] wheels/tires

[Robin Jones]

Hi John,

I've been running Exalto AS on my daily driver ('96 Saab 900) for the last 
year or so with very good results. I think they are the replacement model 
for the XGT's I have on my SEC. They have been a pretty quiet tire.

They have excellent wet traction. Resist hydroplaning on the highway very 
well. They are even pretty good in snow (for a non-snow tire). I live in the 
Syracuse NY area and have driven on the Exaltos for about 20,000 miles, 
including one Central NY winter. I use the Jeep for big snow though.
