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

I was very concerned about noise when I made the purchase, and I was pleased to find out they run super quietly with no annoying sounds.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 225/45R18 95W XL
The tyres perform excellently for both dry and wet conditions. My car would skid around corners when I accelerated, but now it grips the road.

Excellent overall. Just a note that the outer edges of the front tyres appear to be wearing out quite quickly!

They are doing a notably great job, and it is much better than the previous set that I ordered from another brand.
