Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

Great in all conditions

All-round performance is improved, and consequently I am delighted. Much better than the standard fit runflat tyres - more comfortable, better grip and much better turn-in. I am liking them!

These tyres are really good in all conditions

Really great tyre but quite soft tread so didn’t make it to the wet unfortunately

Yes very well, deal with water well and still good levels of grip in the cold weather, even after two track days still going well

I live in Scotland. It’s cold and wet, a lot but we do also get some dry days and maybe about a week of hot sunny weather a year. I had been trying to buy the all season variant of this tyre but it didn’t appear to be available so I took a chance on the Pilot Sport 5 and 8000 miles in, they haven’t missed a beat. There’s caverns of tread depth left in them. Lots of wet grip in the corners, no problem with rivers of water across a motorway carriageway, more grip than I’ll ever need in the dry. Don’t know yet about using them for the short spells of snow and ice but I’m quietly hopeful.

Excellent would definitely recommend

The only condition they've struggled in is snow but they're summer tyres so I wasn't expecting them to perform. Even down to fairly cold temperatures they still work well on a wet or dry road. They will push into understeer in temperatures below around 5°C but are still controllable. In the dry on a warm day they're unbelievable. They handle standing water well and brake brilliantly in the wet.

Very good, very grippy especially in the wet for my 230bhp car

Happy with the performance although they is a bit more road noise
