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 - 225/50 R17 Y is a summer tyre.

The tyres are still performing well, in both wet & dry conditions. Road noise and comfort is also good. They're wearing well and should expect to see 20K+ miles out of them.

The tyres are performing as expected, adding a sporty edge to the handling of the vehicle. And enhanced grip in most weather conditions.

Good tyres. Superb in the summer grip really well. Can be good in the wet too if they have heat in them. Below 8C the grip is noticeably less and they don’t perform so well but they are a summer tyre so to be expected. Can get by in the winter being sensible. Not amazing in the snow but drive accordingly. They lasted 19k miles on the fronts before needing replaced. Mix of motorway and A roads for those miles with a fairly fast driving style. The rim protection is decent too, saved my alloys for a scuff a couple times. Noise levels were ok.

These tyres are now about half worn and still perform pretty much as they were at 2,000 miles. Tread wear probably reflects a reasonable amount of calmer motorway miles, but still appears to be better than the Michelin PS4's they replaced. The only complaint I have is tyre noise, especially on concrete surfaces, although a little less than the PS4's. Come on Michelin, put your technology gurus on this to make them quieter while still keeping everything else the same!

I liked the tyres so much I have recently replaced my rears with them. They have provided excellent grip in all weather conditions ( we got very little snow this year so no issues) and appear to be wearing less than my old Bridgestones.

I have only covered 2,000+ miles since fitting, replacing worn Bridgestone Potenza S005 on the front. they had done 10,500 miles. The new tyres are so reassuring, providing excellent grip in the wet- we have had plenty of rain since I purchased them! I also hope that I get better milage from these than the original equipment Bridgestones. I will replace the rears with these when required.

Awful. In 1 months and 3000 miles they are below 3 mm. Economical driving, 60mph mainly motorway and they are awful. The fronts in 2 months have gone from 5.5mm to showing metal
