Product description & features

The max-performance Pilot Sport 5 is a summer tyre with a focus on the best steering response on warm wet and dry pavements. With Michelin’s Dynamic Response Technology the belt at the tyre tread is constructed with a hybrid of aramid and nylon. The blocks on the tyre’s outer edge are firm for cornering. Blocks are slit and spaced for additional grip to wet pavements. Water is evacuated by the rearward and forward spaced inner side grooves.

Compared to its predecessor the Pilot Sport 4, it features sidewalls with a velvet effect for a dark textured finish thanks to the Premium Touch Design. Michelin’s tread wear indicator, Wear2Check, is a built-in feature of the sidewall. Type XL of the reinforced construction is an option for select specifications. The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is available for purchase from Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Summer tyre for wet and dry
  • Firm outer blocks for cornering
  • Wet-grip blocks and water grooves

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 215/40R18 89Y XL
The perform great, and compared to the original tyres, they are a bit quieter. The driving experience is improved which is always a plus with the 128ti. I have used these tyres before, so I know them.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 215/40R18 89Y XL
Compared to the Pilot Sport 2s that came with the car, the Pilot Sport 5s are a better match for my Peugeot 308 GTi. They have noticeably improved ride comfort and wet grip, along with better traction which means I no longer spin my wheels. Without a doubt, I will be putting Pilot Sport 5s on the back when those tyres need changing.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 215/40R18 89Y XL
Great tyres. They have made a big difference to the driving of my Hyundai I20N. Although they don't feel as sharp or as grippy as the original Pirelli's, they are better for daily driving.
