Need quick help, TIRES for 92 miata

okay my dad needs tires, he is deciding between these two that are on sale today only. does anyone know if these are any good, or which is better. he really only drives the car in the summertime and almost never drives in snow unless its emergency. if both are crap, what is a good budget tire for him? thanks a bunch.

Michelin Pilot XGT H4 P185/60HR14 or

Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 185/60R14

All I can tell you is that through Toyota, the only one of the two that I can get is the XGT H4. It's max certified speed is 130. Load Index is 82...and the rest of the information is blank for some reason.

That's all the information I can give you without searching for longer than 2 seconds.

I love my XGT H4s. Excellent wet traction and good wear. I've had them for 30k miles still good. I errantly overinflated for a while enjoying the better curve response and wore out the center of the tread, but mostly still good. I'm getting ready to replace and am not sure if I want to spend the $100/tire vs $50/tire for Falkens, or should I say the wife is not sure...

ya falkens are my next tire for sure even tho i love the turanza i have now for quietness but they are on the heavy and expensive side.. idk, hes kinda set on getting one of these two. the exalto has stellar reviews on tirerack (all superior and only a few excellent ratings), and the xgt ive also heard good about.
