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 5 255/40R20 104W XL
It was obvious to me that I was better able to grip the road on the winding sections. I also noticed the tyre was much more robust, and the car's body lean and shift less when turning, especially when I was more aggressive in the corners.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 255/40R20 104W XL
Until the fitting, everything was good. The garage damaged one of my wheels and broke a pressure sensor. All the wheels have been refurbished, but the sensor issue is still there. To add to the problem, there is now a screw in the tyre. Overall, it wasn't the best experience but I can't fault the tyres themselves.

Feel fine, just appear to be a bit louder than the last set of tyres.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 255/40R20 104W XL
Bought these for my Tesla Model Y as a replacement for the EV acoustic tyres. I was worried about the additional road noise but I really can't tell any difference in terms of look, feel or noise in comparison to the acoustic ones.

The tyres offer great control on the car in both wet and dry conditions and do not have any problems.
