Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport 5 285/40R19 107Y XL
I used to employed them during sleet or rain, but now I can use them any time besides the summer! The tyres really helped with my skidding issues. I can now push my car, a 330D M Sport, to its limits, and I can wet brake without worrying about it. I didn't expect them to wear down so slowly, considering I have driven about 6000 miles with them, and I haven't even lost 2 mm. After 8 months of aggressive driving, they started to show edge wear. I have burned through a set of track tyres in 30 minutes, so the wear on the tyres is quite impressive to me. They may not be the best of the best, but they really do give a decent performance and durability. The feedback and confidence with braking and accelerating is great with no unexpected skidding! There is a clear difference when I compare them to the previous cheaper tyres that came with my car. It's a bit more noise when driving, but in my opinion, it is worth the trade off.
