The tyres are performing very well. Grip is good, road noise is low and mpg is good.
2 months driving on Pilot Sport 5s, commuting to work 3/4 days a week on average, 35mile round trip. , so let’s call it 1,000 miles. The tires are already evenly damaged on every single tire, despite correct tracking. I do take some back roads with a few corners on the drive, which is where I assume the bad wear has come from, but they have performed nowhere near the cost you will pay for these tyres. The ride feels a lot heavier than the miles cheaper alternative I had on beforehand. Will definitely not get them again…
Super grip through the corners. Handles like the car is going 20 mph slower than what the speedo shows. If you have a hot hatch it’s worth getting decent tyres to suit it, rather than cheap out by buying ditch finders. Wear has been better compared to other soft compounds, these have lasted longer and grip just as good if not better than Toyo Proxes TR1s and Goodyear Eagle F1. I can’t fault Michelin Pilot Sport, I’d definitely buy again.
Since fitting these tyres on on VW Passat I need to increase tyre pressurre to maxium recommended for better feel and grip.
100% better better grip. , road noise is quieter . The wall thickness makes it better on the suspension
Top notch. Excellent cornering grip and they still looking brand new. Very confident in the wet, just as well this summer being what it is. Will definitely buy again.
Had a set of PS5’s on my car previously and didn’t look at anything else when I purchased. The car is my daily work horse and does get driven hard quite frequently, the balance of comfort, noise and mainly performance is just exceptional. I put circa 20k on my last set and only need to replace due to the outer edges of the fronts being worn low and the innards on the rears which I can probably attribute to driving style and the need for an alignment. Absolutely faultless tyre, look superb too.
Excellent! Getting rid of the run flat supplied tyres from the factory has made a world of difference.
My tyre have performed well in all the weathers I’ve used them in
The car had Potenza. It is a different car since I changed to PS5. Had on my previous car(s) PS4 and I love them. The new PS5 have even a better grip than PS4 :)
