Technical information
Focus: Sport
With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Michelin PILOT SPORT 5 belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

What owners say
<p>I run them on 2 cars in extremely different platforms. On a ford transit custom which is driven every day, as well as a mitsubishi colt CZT which mostly sees track days and nurburgring trips. On the van i love the tyre for being as comfortable as it is on a very low profile with a lot of weight on it. I also notice almost no wear, with the tyre still being at almost 6mm after 30 000km.</p><p>On the colt czt i love it for being consistently grippy, in al conditions. Sure, it can overheat after a few very hard laps, but every UHP tyre does that.</p><p>Also have to give it points on looks, no other tyre looks this good.</p>
<p>I switched on the front form the original Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. I knew that it is a better tyre but afraid to suffer high noise level. It was proven to be as quit as the GY but superior handling. I am driving a front wheel drive car which puts high pressure on the front axel. The Michelin is proving to handle it very well.</p>
<p>Focus ST with 280bhp. Commuting driving and occasional spirited drive. Heavy wear but great grip.</p>
<p>All our cars are pilot 5. These tyres are not that costly I got them on my Audi S4 and I drive it quickly. The confidence you get built up over a long time one knows give one the knowledge that the tyres will save your life one day when you have to do an emergency stop and that the tyres will fulfill its duty to come to a stop immediately and in control. I have used Michelin tyres all my life and if you work out four tyres over the tires life it will be pennies per mile. In the wet they perform very well and my S4 does not seem to roll in tight corners and bad conditions. The only thing I know and unless you experience it is all wide tyre cars no matter what tyres you have is aqua planning and deep snow and icey conditions the tyres will behave like any tyres. I have tried other tyres before until I came to the conclusion that I prefer Michelins to any other tyres. They grip like hell. This is a genuine review off using Michelins for a long long time. Our other cars are all Michelins. !</p>
<p>I've had the Michelin Pilot Sport series on my GT86 for most of its life. Started with the PS3 then moved to the PS4 and now into the PS5. Definitely enjoy this tyre during mountain driving and even just day to day highways it is a great tyre. It has lasted what feels like forever and I easily do 80km per day, to & from work.</p><p>I am however now at the point where I'm looking for more dry grip with better turn in and that's where the PS5 feels like it can fall short. The turn in is not massively delayed but it's definitely a softer sidewall compared to others. The next tyre I am moving into is a 225/45R17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 because of the reviews I have read here on, tyrereviews</p>
