Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

Good dry and wet grip, fantastic at displacing water, very grippy in the summer. Struggles with icy conditions but they are a summer tyre so I can't really complain!

They Perform very well, a lot better than I expected but I did have a unrepairable puncture in one of them less than 6 months of having them on my car.

Overall these are exceedingly good tyres; traction is outstanding, grip is terrific and steering feels good. These are fitted to my Jaguar XF 3.0d Sportbrake and on balance the Primacy would probably have been the better all-round decision. The MPS5 is an ultra high performance tyre and I have noticed refinement is the big trade off for the added performance - tyre noise is more noticeable than my previous Pirelli P Zero tyre. Fuel economy isn’t noticeably worse but there’s just a bit more roar at all speeds. Horses for courses, and the benefit is that on occasions when I can use the performance, the tyre is delivering the goods. It’s just that those occasions are few and far between on a big family wagon.

Fabulous in both wet and dry conditions.

Feel very grippy although comparing with 5 year old Pilot Sport 3 with around 2.5mm on.

I replaced tyres like for like because I have found their performance exceeds my requirements making me feel safe under all conditions.

Exactly as I would expect from a quality tyre.

Fantastic performance, ride quality really improved from previous Avons, what was a surprise was the improvement to the smoothness feeling given off by the Pilots, really happy with them

Better than the old pilot sport 4 tyres i had

The feel pretty good.
