Product description & features

The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 is a performance summer tyre incorporating features of an asymmetrical tread design to create a ‘feel’ for driving in warm weather. Summer tyres are softer than all-season tyres with a stiffer internal design. This combines to means the Michelin Pilot Sport S5 is designed for quick changes in direction. The summer compound and specific design mean this tyre is best suited for warm driving with temperatures above 7 degrees Celsius.

Like with many performance tyres, the design of the tread incorporates a way to manage wear of the tyre over its lifetime. As with any other summer performance tyre, the Michelin Pilot Sport S5 has specific sidewall sizing, load index, and speed ratings. All of these combined mean this tyre can only be used for its designed purpose, and can’t be used to replace all other tyres. The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 is available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Asymmetrical tread design
  • Summer tyre compound
  • Stiffer internal design

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 285/40R20 111Y XL
I replaced my old tyres with these Michelins and it has made a real difference. The car has a better grip and rides are much smoother. I notice less road noise. Would buy again.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 285/40R20 111Y XL
They offer valuable service, and are relatively easy to manage, however they appear to be a little pricy for what they offer.
