MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5 REIFENBEWERTUNG

They are great. Excellent grip in the dry and the rain. Can corner quickly with absolute confidence that the tyres will do their job

Excellent wet and dry grip, confidence inspiring with predictable breakaway. No noticeable increase in noise levels or fuel consumption compared to less high performance tyres.

I feel the car is handling better with reduced noise aswell

Perform great on unrestricted roads, wet and dry.

These tyres are performing superbly.

Immediately noticed that I had better grip on twisty roads. Tyre feels a lot more solid, like the car leans and moves around on it less when steering, especially spirited cornering.

The tyres perform very well in the wet

Fitted these Michelin PS5s to a lightweight performance hatchback and am impressed overall with their performance. Grip and comfort are excellent for a performance tyre. Wet or poorly surfaced B roads present no issues for these tyres. Steering feel is superb - you can feel everything at the road surface through the wheel. However, the turn in and steering precision, while certainly very good, is not quite up there with the best. Once in a turn though, they load up very nicely. The ability of the tyre to smooth out rather than amplify road imperfections adds confidence when 'pressing on'. It's worth emphasizing however that these tyres only shine after an extended break in of around 400-500 miles. When new, the driving experience was rather like the tyres were constructed with blancmange . The driving experience is also very sensitive to type pressures used, so be sure to experiment. Also, I would recommend the XL version even for a lightweight vehicle due to the stiffer sidewalls, which will help maximise steering precision.

Great compared to the PS4's, much longer life and similar grip.

Good grip, low noise.
