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 5 235/45R17 97Y XL
Great tyre, can't fault it. I admit it's on the more expensive side, however you get what you pay for.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 235/45R17 97Y XL
I fitted Michelin PS5s all round on my car but they wore out ridiculously quickly, and despite all the hype, I personally think they are less durable than some mid-range or even budget ones I have used before. It just goes to show that paying more doesn't mean you are getting better quality, in this case, I would say it's more to do with brand name than anything else.
