Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 pictures on Fuchs?

Considering these tires for my SC. Reasonably satisfied they will be a solid choice, but curious on appearance. Anyone have or know of any pictures of them mounted on 16/6, 16/7 or even 16/8 Fuchs?

I am replacing a 9 year old set of Kumho Ecsta SPTs which have been good,but can't say I ever loved the way they looked.

Thanks.

I've run them for years on several of my cars, Porsche and Subaru. Not a great shot, but here they are on my former 67 912 on 6x15s.

I've never spent much time thinking about how a tire looks, but since you do, here're mine....

Thanks all this is very helpful. Perhaps it's just me, I have had a few sets of tires on multiple cars in the last twenty years where the look just bothered me.

I get the look thing. The early cars all had puffy looking tires with rounded edges. More agggressjve high performance tires have a hard corner to the change from tread to sidewall.

I like the look of the Exaltos on an early car because they keep some of that older look.

Yes...our 2008 Cayman has 17" wheels and I think they look awesome with more rubber. The 18 and 19 inch options have the thinner tires and i don't like it as much as the 17s.

Here's mine, mounted on 16x7 and 16x8 Fuchs. Seem to work well, although I can't compare them to anything else, performance-wise. The shoulders are a bit rounder than some, and they have a rim protector, which is also nice to have. I'm happy with them

i have A/S-3 on my 6 & 7's (with 1" spacers on the rear), but the profile, fit and look should be similar. I like the way they fit and look.
