Michelin High Performance A/S, which one?

Anyone from TireRack out there? I searched for this and I have not seen it discussed. I have a 2002 WRX sedan that I like to take on Colorado mountain roads. I am ready to buy one of the two Michelin High Performance A/S tires, the Pilot Sport A/S or the Pilot Exalto A/S. They both look great, and by reading the TireRack tests it looks like the numbers for the Exalto are just as good as the Sport. Plus the Exalto should have more tread life. Anybody have any opinions before I spend the big bucks? Would I give up much performance with the Exalto? Thanks for your input.

Also, I'm planning on the 225/50/R16 size, is that a good choice?

bump, same question. Reading the Tire Rack reviews with Subarus seems like there are way more positives for the Pilot Sports A/s over the Exalto. Anyone with any experience?

I prefer the performance level of the Pilot SPort A/S. The Exalto is a really nice tire for my father in laws Buick not so, much for a performance car
