Car Tyre Michelin Pilot Sport Ps5 225/55ZR17

Having driven on Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for years, I found myself needing to make a different choice given these have been discontinued and according to some of the reviews I read, the Pilot Sport 5 were very similar. Whilst these are similar from a wet surface perspective, where you will drive through water and not feel a huge impact on the car, these tyres do feel a lot different to the PS3s I so loved. The road feedback, although still quite good, doesn't feel as sporty as the 3. These are a bit more comfortable, which for many could be a plus, for me, I enjoy the road feedback and knowing that I can take a sharp bend at speed with confidence. Overall, I am not dissatisfied but wonder if I would go for these again in the future. Have also felt the steering a lot ... MoreHaving driven on Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for years, I found myself needing to make a different choice given these have been discontinued and according to some of the reviews I read, the Pilot Sport 5 were very similar.

Overall, I am not dissatisfied but wonder if I would go for these again in the future. Have also felt the steering a lot different since changing to these tyres, balancing has been an issue which has been corrected a couple of times. Despite that it still feels odd with no obvious reason. Will have to probably drive a bit more on these to eventually fall out of love with the PS3 and start to love the 5s. Safety wise thou, I do feel safe with the grip these offer and definitely the performance on wet is very good.

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.
