Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

Awesome

PS5 is an awesome tyre. Fitted to VW GOLF GTD, I have had PS4 and the obvious premium rivals, and this tyre is head and shoulders above them for performance. Comfortable, refined and low rolling resistance with excellent dry weather performance. Where they really impressed is wet weather. Excellent grip, resistance to aquaplaning and confidence inspiring. One of the few tyres you can really lean on in the wet. Superb.

Golf r mk7.5

Since changing from falkin tyre's I could notice the difference immediately in sound, grip and general driving smoothness and breaking in the wet is very very good.

Don't believe the hype

Over hyped not what people think they are a hankook Ventus V12 Evo K120 is a cheaper and by far a better tyre. Sooner these tyres burn out the better will never buy PS5s again

Very noisy tyre in 205/40 17

I have 205/40 17 on my mk6 Fiesta ST, and they are the loudest tyre i have ever driven, including winter tyres, all year tyres and all terrain tyres. I'm very disappointed with the PS5 from Michelin. The Fiesta is already a loud car with Miltek exhaust, but the tyres can still be heard 😒

Pilot Sport 5

Excellent grip in the dry and in the wet

Exquisite

While using these tires throughout winter and spring in the north of Scotland, I wasn’t too impressed as they only felt marginally better than the Pilot Sport 4. Of course, spring gave way to summer and these tires absolutely love the heat. The traction feels like semislicks, the handling feed back is incredible, and paired with good brakes - the stopping force is wonderful! So far after 8000~ish miles these tires haven’t lost much tread either. These tires ultimately are summer tires so I’m happy to overlook their winter performance as it was still decent enough in the cold for spirited driving.

Excellent Tyre.

I have had Michelin PS3, PS4 and PSS on previous cars and alway like them all. Coming from PZeros on an i20N which the fronts only lasted 5300 miles in normal driving conditions. Changed to PS5’s and noticed a significant difference in ride comfort and noise reduction. Wet grip is also significantly better.

no good

it's not good when i drive it

Always buy Michelin Pilot 4s for our vehicles with 20” wheels, however the 5s are now out and needing a pair of fronts for my SLK300 (18”), these are the obvious choice. Won’t get used until my local council stop chucking grit around, and we have some dry days (it’s my summer-only car), however on the initial drive home from fitting, I could tell the difference in grip over the old Continentals.

Super

The new Pilot Sport 5 are superb. Had them fitted to my Fiesta ST. Even still not being fully worn in, there is so much grip. Much more positive feedback than the Pilot Sport 4.
