Pilot Sport 5

9.5

While the name suggests this tyre is sporty, the ‘basic’ Pilot Sport 5 isn’t exactly that. It’s a very well-balanced tyre, emphasizing mileage, low rolling resistance, and comfort. It’s a great tyre,

Excellent safety margins against aquaplaning combined with short breaking distances on wet makes it a very well balanced tyre
while dynamic handling on both wet and dry makes it also very enjoyable to drive. Low rolling resistance and low noise
