Owners rate the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 very highly overall, with most highlighting standout grip in both the dry and wet and plenty of confidence for fast road driving. Comfort and refinement are also frequently praised for a UHP tyre, with many finding it quiet and easy-going day to day. Wear is more divisive: many report strong mileage, but around one in ten complain of quicker wear than expected (and a smaller group mention uneven wear). Around one in eight owners also wish for sharper, more precise steering feel compared with sportier rivals.

The best tyres i ever have. I make a lot of research till i find this even they are very famous (i don t find them in different sizes).
Briliant tyres....10+ .
Hello! After years of Ps4s, an excellent tyre, I tried, for a too short period, Bridgestone Potenza Sport (later I will provide my final analysis on this excellent but soft tyre) however, one look was enough, for those who know Michelin, to review this tyre, in fact I immediately had confirmation that it is an excellent Gran Turismo Sport tyre unlike the Michelin Ps4s, where the Racing vocation shines through, I confirm your reviews! So, more comfort, more tread for the rain, lower fuel consumption for sure, as is certainly the better final mileage especially compared to Bridgestone.. let's say that... it's an excellent choice for those who don't want to give up a tyre that still performs but also starts to take a look at the family budget and wallet ahahah at the only price of a lower feeling and grip in racing situations... to sum up... It's a great GTS tyre.

Started of as a good tyre, but now the grip is pretty bad after 18000 km. The durability is very good ill have to give it that, but in terms of grip I expected a lot more.
The wet grip was never really good, but it got worse over time, as did the dry grip. In hindsight I should have bought the SportContact 7. Not what I expected of michelin.

Researching the Michelin Pilot Sport 5? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I have used 2,5mm of my tyres in 3 months! Surely this cannot be right! Jeez, how soft are these tyres!

The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is widely regarded as one of the best wearing UHP summer tyres, so you are either driving incredibly quickly or driving a large amount in those months! If neither of these are true it might be worth having your vehicles' alignment checked.
So I initially got these tyres for a 2nd gen Lexus IS - rolled with them around slowly at the start, then after 1 or 2 months of daily driving i decided to see how it would fair in the curves. I have the XL variant and i can say they're TOUGH. Thrashed on them quite a bit with minimal wear totalling around 30 000 kms, after the which that car died and i put the rims on a 2014 VW polo and oh boy they are amazing for hot hatches, be it hairpin turns, mountain roads or urban driving. Will definitely buy again.
Not gonna comment on the performance as the tyres were build for it. Amazed with the wear rate of the tyre. Able to clock 85k KM before feeling uncomfortable with inner tyre wear (rear torsion beam). However still can drive spiritedly in heavy rain but poorly in aqua planning. Up to 60k tread depth were as good new same goes with the performance. The tyre started to feel less comfortable after 70k KM, higher road noise and harsh ride. Changed to MC7 “on paper better than PS5”, regretted not choosing another set of PS5 due to the lack of road feedback.
bought for M4 f82,nowhere near as good as the continental sport contact 7,in every way.turn in is poorer,grip is poorer and wet grip again nowhere near the conti.only upside is wear factor and they look prettier.,cannot wait till these wear down and stick some conti back on,save ya cash if you have 400-550 bhp and get the conti,they are well cheaper.ok they wear faster but id rather them wear faster than towing my car out a ditch,275-35-19 and 255-35-19
I've been using those tires on my BMW 320d Touring for a year now. Road noise is slightly louder than with the old tires, however those haven't been UHP tires. Overall I am very satisfied. They have a lot of grip both in dry and wet conditions. Autobahn rides with 200km/h+ feel safe and stable. Hunting corners on country roads is a lot of fun too. I don't drive on race tracks though and I am lacking the expertise to evaluate the performance at the absolute limit.
I think the Pilot Sport 5 are excellent for spirited everyday driving.
Very happy with the PS5's. Longer wearing than the PS4's. Grip much the same but I do not push the car as hard as I used to. Much better than the original Bridgestones that I threw away after 20000km as they were dangerous at speed in the wet.
These tires are amazing, they combine road comfort and high performance. The sidewall is a little softer than I would like, but increasing tire pressure to 40 psi mostly negates this. The grip is incredible, so predictable and consistent, dry or wet, it just hooks onto the road and doesnt let go. The grip gets even better when the tires heat up. Car feels very stable under braking and hard acceleration. Definitely a good choice for a high performance car that doesnt really go on the race track much, great for normal roads. 10/10 would get a speeding ticket again.
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.
