Car Tyre Michelin Pilot Sport Ps5 205/40ZR17

Really like these tyres. It is inconvenient that the top sport tyre manufacturers (Michelin, Conti, Goodyear) don't offer their top sport tyres in smaller sizes. Bought the PS5 when I would have liked a PS4S if it was available. Having said that I think the PS5 feels just as good. Better than the well regarded Rainsport in the wet. Been round a track on them as well and they hang on very well wet and dry.

I've covered less than 1000 km on these tyres to date, so can't comment on their durability, but in every other way they are excellent. Road noise in particular is very low in comparison to the half-worn OEM Bridgestone Potenza these replaced on my Škoda Octavia VRS. Nor have I really pushed the tyres yet, but under everyday driving conditions, both wet and dry, they feel very confidence-inspiring.

They have great grip as expected from Michelin tyres. These replaced a set of Pilot Sport 4s and while they have great grip they do not have as much sidewall rim protection as the 4s so they seem a bit skinnier than the same size 4s. Otherwise good tyre but doing it again I would get the 4s instead.

Maybe they need to wear in more, but compared to a new set of pilot sport 4 these didn't like the wet at first. Pilot sport 4 when brand new were really grippy, these slip a bit in the wet. Hopefully that improves as they wear in though - could just be because they're meant to last longer that they aren't as sticky at first

These tyres are superb. Amazing in the wet and the dry. As others have said, may not be the most feedback, but they are quite and perform very well. Durability is said to be improved as well.

New Pilot Sport 5 are awesome on a BMW 640i. Extremely low profile 275/35/19 and 245/40/19 usually means harsh noisy ride.These tyres are smooth and quiet. Much better than previous Bridgestone Re050aPerformance is fantastic wet or dry braking, cornering. Car gets driven very hard.

Best High Performance Summer Tire on the Market!

I purchased the new Pilot Sport 5 tires at Costco for my BMW and all I can say is WOW! They were hidden at the bottom of the list in Costcos inventory system and the sales guy didnt even realize these were out yet until I asked for them, he said I was his first customer to order these and he orders hundreds of tires a week at a busy store. Let me say these are night and day different from the OEM Primacy MXM4 ZP run flats that were on my car before. The Pilot Sport 5 improved handling significantly and there is zero slip when accelerating hard. I am able to take corners at high speed more confidently and the steering just feels effortless and more controlled now. One thing I noticed with these tires are that they are sticky and super soft, much more than other tires ... MoreI purchased the new Pilot Sport 5 tires at Costco for my BMW and all I can say is WOW!

One thing I noticed with these tires are that they are sticky and super soft, much more than other tires I have had in the past. This is a huge plus for dry grip handling, and with Michelins 30k mile warranty and improved treadlife I am impressed to say the least. Most soft tires only last 15k miles if that. I think these are better than the Pilot Sport 4S that I have had on a previous BMW, I know that isnt popular opinion on forums but in the real world testing that I have done, I think these are more responsive and stick better to the road, likely due to newer technology incorporated into this tire from Michelin. 5 out of 5 stars, I dont know how Michelin does it with every new generation of tire but these are going to be hard to top.
