Product description & features

The Pilot Sport 5 is a high-performance tyre designed by Michelin with dynamic response technology – a hybrid belt of Aramid and Nylon through the tyre – the Pilot Sport 5 ensures the best possible steering performance.

As well as this, Michelin have designed the Pilot Sport 5 with a ‘Dual Sport’ tread – with the outer section made up of stiffer blocks to ensure the best traction in dry conditions and the inner section comprising of larger grooves to help with traction in wet conditions. These inner grooves were also designed to reduce the chances of aquaplaning by clearing water away from the tyre quickly and efficiently.

The Michelin Pilot sport 5 has been constructed with different technologies to improve the life of the tyre including MaxTouch construction – to evenly distribute the weight of the tyre when driving.

If you're looking for the perfect tyre to help you take your driving experience to the next level, look no further than the Michelin Pilot Sport 5.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 - 205/40 R17 Y is a summer tyre.

Done 26k last year and about 3/4 way through my second set of PS5, great handling and I’m going to assume wear life but not had anything to compare to as I’ve only had ps5 since I’ve got the car. there could be more sidewall protection to avoid kerbing but over all probs getting about 15miles per set of tyres with wheel alignment done each time. Tyre pressures are set to 38/39psi on the front and 35/36 psi rear, I feel these pressures made the steering a lot more responsive and agile and my theory was that they would last a bit longer as well I experimented with loads of tyre pressures on different weathers and that worked the best for me. I do along motorway miles and twistys on my days off so they tyres went through there paces. smacked a good few pot holes and always held up probs the XL side wall helping with that. over view Class handling Not too noisy Last a while giving the fact my driving style and roads are harsh. Cons Quite expensive Lacking rim protection I’ve just purchased good year eagle f1 A6 so I’ll see no they perform and I’ll try compare the tyres.

Good tyres, seems to be wearing out quicker than the last ones but that's to be expected, performance in snow not good but that's not a surprise

They are fantastic - especially after being slightly run in. The grip in the wet is indistinguishable from the dry. They’ve also smoothed out the ride in my stiff suspension and my car handles much better than before. Never would have expected tyres to make such a difference!

Have only done a couple of hundred miles on these tyres, but compared to the Bridgestones that were on the car, handling feels better and seem to stick to the road better! Car not driven in wet conditions so unable to comment on this!
