Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

I bought these tyres to replace the Pirelli PZeros that came as standard on my Hyundai Kona N. I had completely destroyed the Pirelli tyres at a track day at Thruxton Race Circuit. The improvement in grip and handling the Michelin Pilot Sport 5s bring to the car is a night and day improvement over the stock Pirelli tyres. They don't spin up in the wet, they turn in sharper and they have so much more lateral grip, in all conditions. They seem to be wearing really well too. I genuinely think they'd survive a track day, whereas the old tyres just shredded themselves and we're a spin fest (fun, but not fast!) if you're thinking of trying Michelin PS5 Tyres, just do it.

Insane grip (and the statement remains true in the wet as well)

Really well and great in the wet

Very grippy great quality still plenty of life left even after 5 months

Handle well in all weathers

These tyres perform very well in the dry and equally well in the wet.

They feel responsive and grip very similar to Michelin sport 4

Exceptionally grippy in dry conditions, and I feel confident enough in the rain.

Tyres have performed brilliantly in both wet and dry conditions. I got caught in what could only be described as monsoon conditions during a summer downpour and they really inspired much needed confidence when dealing with standing water. In day to day use they are very comfortable with low noise levels. They work very well on the winding country roads near me with very responsive steering and loads of grip in the dry, they are the perfect tyre for a hot hatch and bring out the best the chassis has to offer. Definitely not the cheapest but worth every penny for me.
