About 1.5 years ago I put a set of Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S tires on my
95 VTEC Del Sol. For my needs, they are the best tire I've even had on
that car and possibly the best tire I recall having on any car.

I can't speak much to road noise because the car in general is pretty
noisy on the highway and I rarely take it out of town anyway. But it's
dry traction is good and wet traction as well... I can blow through deep
puddles without feeling like my car is going to get yanked off the road.
I am in TN and like you snow is so rare as to not even be a factor.

I also can't speak to mileage yet because I have a really short drive to
work and so don't accumulate miles fast enough to know yet.

I previously had some Yoko Avids of some model on the same car and they
just beat me nearly to death. Just hard as rocks and not very good in
the wet.

I can't now recall what I paid for them. They weren't cheap but also not
really pricey either... may have been in the $60-80 range each. I
bought them through NTB locally but they were not stock items so I had
to get them to order them for me. (took less than a work week)
