Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

Great grip in wet and dry can easily tell when you are are on the limit of the grip

They are prone to feathering, despite checking regularly that tyre pressures were correct. This made the Tyres very noisy to drive. Attended garage where fitted. Confirmed alignment and pressures were correct, but stated that Michelin tyre were prone to feathering, more than many other brands. The noise was such that could not recommend Tyres, despite their good all round performance.

These new Michelins are noisier than my previous. There is also a slow air loss on one of the tyres despite the tyre being new.

Always go for michelin from previous experience

Good in all conditions. Give added confidence.

Great in the wet, slight road noise,

Excellent grip all round

Great grip in all conditions. Amazing in the dry. Predictable performance in corners. Excellent in the wet.

They are as good a continentals, just slightly cheaper

Done 26k last year and about 3/4 way through my second set of PS5, great handling and I’m going to assume wear life but not had anything to compare to as I’ve only had ps5 since I’ve got the car. there could be more sidewall protection to avoid kerbing but over all probs getting about 15miles per set of tyres with wheel alignment done each time. Tyre pressures are set to 38/39psi on the front and 35/36 psi rear, I feel these pressures made the steering a lot more responsive and agile and my theory was that they would last a bit longer as well I experimented with loads of tyre pressures on different weathers and that worked the best for me. I do along motorway miles and twistys on my days off so they tyres went through there paces. smacked a good few pot holes and always held up probs the XL side wall helping with that. over view Class handling Not too noisy Last a while giving the fact my driving style and roads are harsh. Cons Quite expensive Lacking rim protection I’ve just purchased good year eagle f1 A6 so I’ll see no they perform and I’ll try compare the tyres.
