MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5 REIFENBEWERTUNG

Excellent tyres, very happy with them, great grip and feel on the road

Perfectly, as this is what the manufacture fitted originally.

The OEM Pirelli P Zero N's on my Hyundai i20N offered great grip but wore out very quickly - a mere 5700 miles of daily short trips (no track use). They also caused a heinous graunching noise from the LSD on full lock. As per N Owners Forums I elected to size up to 225 section replacements (much cheaper than the 215s) and switch to Michelin PS5's for a change. Early days yet, only 1K miles, so difficult to assess long term wear characteristics. I can't give them a 10 Star rating for that reason. Very happy with all weather grip and no more graunching on full lock. One minor criticism might be that the rim protection isn't as pronounced/protective on the Michelin as it is on the Pirelli. A shout out to Chris Turner Tyres (Limavady,NI) who fitted the tyres promptly according to appointment time and took extra special care with the unmarked rims on my car. Thanks guys!

They feel excellent with slightly quieter than standard fitmemt. Get slightly better feeling aswell, with the 128ti every gain is a gain. Have had these tyres before so know them.

i can feel that they are gripping the road much better which is helping acceleration and cornering ability of the car

Grips really well in wet and dry

My tyres have excellent performance in all weather conditions and on all road surfaces. I am delighted with them.

These are fitted on the front wheels of a Mini JCW E that was massively struggling for grip on the sport tyres the car was supplied with (Hancook iON evo R). As a result the car would fight for grip under acceleration in most conditions and were almost illegal at 6,500 miles. The Michelin PS5 have been a revelation, the car feels far more sure footed and has far more grip when accelerating to the point that the torque steering is almost eliminated. How long this lasts and how they wear, time will tell. I intend to wear out the Hancooks on the front over the summer and fit more Michelin PS5, so back to living with bonkers torque steering until replaced by some more Michelin PS5.

Excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. I am not sure if these tyres wear faster, but the safety and grip is certainly worth the trade off.

The car is special so the tyres need to work
