Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

Rather disappointed with PIlot Sport 5. This is the second car which I've used them on, and foolishly thought they might be better on another car (an up! gti). The bar which they had to surmount wasn't too difficult- the car had 4 year old Landsails on them. However, Pilot Sport 5, even in comparison to them, are not as sporty, despite their name, the turn in isn't as good, the mpg has fallen, braking no better and and the steering is, at best, equal. As stated, this is twice that I've bought this tyre for different cars and compared to their predecessor, PIlot Sport 4, Pilot Sport 5 are disappointing.

They are tyres. I’ve always put high rated, good brand tyres on my cars. Some are quieter, some grip well in the wet, some last well, some feel more sporty. These are really good on all fronts. Cost more than the rest, so I want them to last longer!! So far so good!!

My car is 522bhp rwd, I've never had such confidence in a tyre, especially in the wet. Amazing tyres.

Good in wet, very well made tyres.strong tyres.

Good all round performance with acceptable longevity life span.

Excellently as usual for Michelin.

Great all round performance

Good tyres grip is good

Overall a great tyre. I don't often drive fast in bad weather conditions so I can't claim any benefit over another brand as I've not test it's limits. However in the dry these are by far the best street tyre by quite a margin. Slightly louder then less grippy tires but marginally.

Brought the car with some horrible cheap Tyres, putting Pilot sports on was done within a week and they are always a great tyre
