[W126 Coupe] Help

I bought a set of Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S tires for my 500SEC just two
weeks ago, and I have to say I'm liking them so far, but it's a little
early to tell what I may find out about them!

~$650 mounted, balanced, and with road hazard from Sears, in 225/55-16.
They were just a little more expensive than the Conti's that I'd priced
out, and FAR less expensive than anything in 17" that I'd been
considering going up to, before my job decided to downsize.

So far in my limited experience on these tires, they handle dry and wet
pavement very well. How they'll do in snow, I have no idea, but as
others have said, they are supposedly at least acceptable, for a
non-dedicated snow tire.
