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.
