Securing a commendable 2nd place among 20 contenders, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 left a lasting impression with a final rating deemed 'Outstanding'. This sport tire is celebrated for its precise steering response and superior driving dynamics, alongside its strong performance against aquaplaning and its short stopping distances on both wet and dry surfaces. However, its excellence comes at a high price, which was the only notable drawback highlighted by the testers. Despite this, its overall performance reflects Michelin's commitment to combining safety, efficiency, and driving pleasure in one package, without specifically dominating or lagging in any single discipline.
