Product description & features

The Pilot Sport 5 is a high-performance tyre designed by Michelin with dynamic response technology – a hybrid belt of Aramid and Nylon through the tyre – the Pilot Sport 5 ensures the best possible steering performance.

As well as this, Michelin have designed the Pilot Sport 5 with a ‘Dual Sport’ tread – with the outer section made up of stiffer blocks to ensure the best traction in dry conditions and the inner section comprising of larger grooves to help with traction in wet conditions. These inner grooves were also designed to reduce the chances of aquaplaning by clearing water away from the tyre quickly and efficiently.

The Michelin Pilot sport 5 has been constructed with different technologies to improve the life of the tyre including MaxTouch construction – to evenly distribute the weight of the tyre when driving.

If you're looking for the perfect tyre to help you take your driving experience to the next level, look no further than the Michelin Pilot Sport 5.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 - 225/50 R17 Y is a summer tyre.

The tyres are still performing well, in both wet & dry conditions. Road noise and comfort is also good. They're wearing well and should expect to see 20K+ miles out of them.

The tyres are performing as expected, adding a sporty edge to the handling of the vehicle. And enhanced grip in most weather conditions.

They are a good tyre. Maybe a little noisier than the brand they replaced. Overall wear seems to be slightly less than previous tyres.

Excellent grip on cornering especially in wet weather conditions. Car feels almost like it’s on rails and a lot quieter with regards to road noise. Definitely will buy again.

Rather disappointed with PIlot Sport 5. This is the second car which I've used them on, and foolishly thought they might be better on another car (an up! gti). The bar which they had to surmount wasn't too difficult- the car had 4 year old Landsails on them. However, Pilot Sport 5, even in comparison to them, are not as sporty, despite their name, the turn in isn't as good, the mpg has fallen, braking no better and and the steering is, at best, equal. As stated, this is twice that I've bought this tyre for different cars and compared to their predecessor, PIlot Sport 4, Pilot Sport 5 are disappointing.

They are tyres. I’ve always put high rated, good brand tyres on my cars. Some are quieter, some grip well in the wet, some last well, some feel more sporty. These are really good on all fronts. Cost more than the rest, so I want them to last longer!! So far so good!!

Overall a great tyre. I don't often drive fast in bad weather conditions so I can't claim any benefit over another brand as I've not test it's limits. However in the dry these are by far the best street tyre by quite a margin. Slightly louder then less grippy tires but marginally.
