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 5 255/35R21 98Y XL
Like the last set, these tyres handle wet conditions very well at the start but this is still the case as the tyre ages. They do however, perform well consistently in dry conditions and in my opinion, the best all-rounder.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 255/35R21 98Y XL
Compared to the Primacy, the Pilot sports provide a considerably greater driving experience. In both dry and wet weather, I have noticed no slipping at the back when cornering.
