Pilot Sport 5 TYRE REVIEW

Excellent Tyres. My Clk500 feels and drives superb 👍

Great in the wet. Looking forward to seeing how they perform in colder conditions.

Pilot Sport 5 vs PS4 n PS4S

I wore out a couple of PS4 tyres on the front of my MB w205 C43 saloon, the PS4S were more expensive than the new PS5 and after reading could things about the PS5 I bought them, on driving it feels the same as before. However on looks there is a big change, it’s of all a much less rim protection lip on the PS5 😳😤, compared to my PS4 that I removed, and still have at the rear so can visibly see the difference. (Maybe there could be another version of the PS5 with a better rim protector) Also then applying tyre dressing via my wee curved sponge the side wall has a new effect which doesn’t clean up as nice as my PS4 does. It’s a pity that Michelin have changed the design on these two things with the new PS5, over what was great on the PS4 and PS4S.

Cannot fault Pilot Sport 5’s

These have had time to bed in now and I’ve put a couple of thousand miles on them. Great grip wet and dry and noticeably less aquaplaning than my previous set of Goodyears. They appear to be wearing very slowly, hard to tell for real as I’ve only done a couple of thousand miles but so far I cannot fault them.

Outstanding

Had two rear tyres fitted to my Mercedes E 350 CDI grips well in the wet and dry conditions and are much quieter than the Pirelli P0’s they replaced. I shall be fitting them to the front as soon as they need replacement.

Gliding on Air

I had four Michelins fitted after I had my wheels refurbished. The difference between these and budget tyres was obvious from the first day. The drive is smooth and despite throwing the car around a lot on country lanes, they have never let me down.

Shame I like them but no good on my E350

Second full set of pilot 5, both sets caused multiple flat spotted the outside of the two front tyres which I believe is called stepping. Had Mercedes check suspension and tracking all ok, told me it’s common problem!

Pilot Sport 5 for advanced drivers

I am driving this tyres from 2023 year, the best tyre ever invented in the world.

Great, stick to the road like glue, my Mini Cooper S loves them.

The car is on rails. Great around corners.
