Here comes a review for Asian market which specifically for Malaysia end-users.
Hands down the best tyre that you can have. Besides from the price, everything was top notch and deliver one of the highest performance which for me is the best so far. Been fitted the tyre for my 2015 Honda Accord 2.0 T2A, which I used Primacy 4 previously.

In conclusion, simply exceptionally good in both dry and wet conditions. With a really fast response to the steering wheel, great road feedback, very predictable and a really good handling overall. The tyres just reached their 5000km milestone after just 6 weeks of installing. For a very spirited driving style and covering to almost all mix type of roads - consist of highways, urban/city, regional and old roads, I've been very satisfied with the tyres that meet my needs as a sale engineer which need me to travel a lot to meet clients in different states and basically had the car as my 2nd home.

Right from the start, I definitely can feel the difference compared to the previous set. The tyres response really well to the acceleration/gas pedal and braking. It does give me confidence to go through the roads really fast and trust it's braking power. From hitting 140km/h on average daily driving and up to 220-230km/h if the situation allow, the tyres help me to swift between cars and deliver predictable + solid cornering at highspeed. Both in dry and wet conditions.

Stunning sidewall, high grip, low noise and I also noticed that it has a good treadwear/longetivity that compliment well with my high speed driving style and lots of deep braking. The tread still looks like new and significantly less wear on the surface. Coming from other brand of tyre sales engineer that specifically target TBR (Truck Bus Radial) and LT (Light Truck), this review isn't a biased opinion but rather an honest one which Michelin Pilot Sport 5 did exceed all my expectations and overall improve/gave a whole new driving experience. A really worthy value for the money spent. Very recommended.

Simply said, amazing tyres. With this car I’ve already made over 180.000 miles mainly on highways and country roads, 60% on summer tyres and 40% on winter tyres. Tried many different tyre brands and models but PS5 are simply the best you can get. My driving style is usually “efficient” which means I don’t necessarily have to fly at illegal speeds on highways but like to enjoy corners at country roads where I don’t want to lose my speed, and that’s where you appreciate good grip and handling. The PS5 are absolutely incredible on the wet, you can easily and safely go on highways at speed limit even in heavy rain and that’s where you notice the difference from other tyres, too. The only discipline where it is not the best is the race track, on a track day they are not as good as PS4, but for public traffic they are perfect.

Two sets later, first one on 225/45r17 which i drove for about 6-7000 kilometers before selling those wheels, and now on my 18 inch combo of 225/40r18 and 255/35r18 which I did around 22-23.000km to this point... Man I love this tyre... Such combination of comfort, sportiness and performance is honestly hard to match... At this mileage front tyres are at only 50% of legal depth tread, and rear ones surely have over 65% left to them, and I drive rather hard. I find this apsolutely mind-blowing tread life for UHP tyres... Will buy again, and again, and again, until they come with PS6

Pretty good dry grip, even better wet grip. Wear is reasonable considerigng it's an UHP terry, but it is expected from Michelin anyhow. I've been using PS4 earlier which I found a bit better than these PS5. There is an annoying noise at about 100 km/h. At the end of the day I like these tyres. I am using them for the 2nd season.
(On my other car I am using Falken Azenis FK520, and those are not much inferior to these Michelins.)

Only done 1000 miles but these new Michelin sport 5s are very good and a noticeable improvement on the 4s.
They handle well, no notice able uneven wear pattern as yet.
They are quiet too.
And pot holes seem less jarring, more adsorption from the rubber compound?

Very impressed with the dry grip, didn't think you could have such grip without going to a semi slick, this is worlds ahead of other premium tires I have felt. (looking at you pzero and pilot super sport, although on very different cars, which were not mine) They also do not compromise on wet grip, even on the ancient chassis of the e36, it felt perfectly safe to drive in a downpour with standing water. They're also still comfortable and quiet which is not always a given with performance tires.

I bought the PS5s to replace run flat Pirelli P-Zeros, as I wanted tyres that would be more comfortable and last longer. I started off a bit disappointed as they felt less grippy and made the steering quite vague. But after a thousand kms they have changed and now prove to have great levels of grip. They are quiet, ride well (noticeably better than the old run flats) and that sidewall looks fantastic. The Pirellis had slightly more grip and better steering feel, but the expected longevity of the Michelins is worth the trade-off. Only thing I wish they had would be better rim protection as it's quite narrow.

One of the best summer tyres that i bought

Now I've only had these tyres fitted for a little over a week so take my review with a pinch of salt, but I feel like I have driven the car enough to give a brief review of how they feel. Firstly - the grip. I've heard lots if great things about how grippy these tyres are and they are very much true. You can carry lots of speed into corners and they'll just grip up and go round them without any hassle. The difference is especially noticeable coming from the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus fitted by the previous owner. The steering is quite sharp, with very little hesitation and slip when you turn in. The level of grip in both the dry and wet is very impressive and confidence inspiring. They also very comfortable and quiet for daily driving which again is impressive considering the performance. Can't comment on wear since I've only had them for so little time. The only drawback, like many have mentioned is the feedback. For a sporty tyre it really doesn't provide a lot of feedback and feel back to the driver. Yes, the steering is sharp and the grip is incredible, but I definitely wished there was more feedback provided. Still, considering how good of an all rounder the PS5s are, I can still easily recommend them.

Hands down the best tyres I've used on this car, the only negative is the highish price, but they are worth every penny. Stable and predictable at the limit, with a very neutral balance, with the on-centre response being fairly good, the steering feels communicative and with a nice weighting, at all speeds. On highways and country roads, they are nice and quiet, and easily ride over bumps. In the rain, these are by far the best tyres I have ever used, great through heavy rain and stop amazingly. I still haven't aquaplaned on the PS5, which is a testament to the great life of the tyre, and I have noticed no wear at all.

Got this tires as i didn't had much of choice because Michelin stopped the making of the Pilot Sport 4. They do not grip as the ps4, i tried to "play" with all 4 wheels tire pressure, and i can get it to grip and handle at the ps4. I'm completely do not have the confidence to throw and play with my car on corners and turns, like for 3 times i almost got thrown to the side of the road. with the ps4 it did not happen to me to me at all.... im with kw street comfort coilovers for almost 4 years, and these tires doesnt give me the grip and the confidence as it wanted... and its not very cheap either...




Pros -
tire is more comfort and "gentle" as comparing to the ps4.
breaking is really super good.
tire definitely have more "meat" on it.

Cons -
grip and handling is not as i expected from tire that should be a good upgrade from the pilot sport 4.
will not buy again.
im looking for new set of 4 tires and would defiantly replace them very soon.

My experience so far:

Wet:
The grip on wet roads is fantastic, like no other tire I have ever had. No aquaplaning, no early understeering, nothing... just good grip.
They give a lot of confidence in corners and the braking is really powerful too. This may sound weird, but sometimes I even go out driving when it's raining hard, just because it's fun with these tires on. I bought these tires mostly because of their promised wet weather (grip) performance, I have no regrets here.

Dry:
Strong braking performance. Cornering does not feel a lot different than my previous Hankook UHP tires, but those were worn down to nearly the minimal legal tread depth, which meant good grip on dry roads. The Michelin PS5's are new with full tread, so I guess it's impressive they feel simular.
When really pushing the car understeers normally and predictably. The tires seem to do especially well in longer and faster corners when compared to short tight corners. They're good in short corners too, but not exceptional. Temperature does play an important role here, I think.

Temperature:
In my opinion it makes a very noticable difference whether it's below or above 15 degrees (Celcius) outside in terms of cornering. The PS5 seems to really come alive on a warm day. And then the above mentioned short corners suddenly become a lot more fun too. This is probably the case for most (UHP) tires, but still it's worth noting that PS5 dry cornering feels more "sporty" as the temperature rises.

Comfort etc:
They are firm but not uncomfortable. I did have to try a few different pressures before I found the best balance between comfort and performance. Ofcourse there are more comfortable tires out there, but that is not what you are looking for when you buy UHP tires.
I drive fairly briskly on average, sometimes near the limit where "safe" to do so, but never like a maniac. But I also drive many boring 100-120 km/h stretches on cruise control. The PS5 seems to be the perfect tire for all of the above. A good balance of comfort/noise and performance.

Wear:
After 5.000 km the front tires are now at 7,0mm. They were 7,5mm when new. You can do your own math, but to me it seems like they should be able to reach 40-50.000 kilometers when you take care of them.

Any negatives?
Well, they do feel slightly "heavier" than my previous summer UHP tires (mounted on the same rims). In terms of acceleration and fuel economy they are not as good yet. This will probably get better once the tires wear down, but still: about 10% extra fuel on average highway use (cruise control on) seems a lot. Even for brand new tires, where 3-5% extra fuel use can be expected. I swapped back to my winter tires briefly, to check if it was the wheels/tires or something else. But it's the tires. I have now done around 5.000 km on these tires and it seems to be getting better slowly, in terms of fuel use.

All in all very happy with these Michelin Pilot Sport 5's. And I think they look pretty good too.
