highly recommended
Ranked #5 of 9
Securing the 5th position among 9 competitors, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 garnered a final rating of 'Highly Recommended'. Despite showing somewhat average performance in aquaplaning compared to its peers, leading to its slightly lower position, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 was commendable for its low rolling resistance. However, its high price level was noted. On wet surfaces, the tyre demonstrated excellent grip and managed calm and controlled reactions, although it wasn't the fastest in the rain, it maintained stability at all times. On dry roads, its performance remained strong with good braking properties and hassle-free handling, albeit requiring slightly larger steering angles which slightly affected its agility. Notably, it excelled in wet circle cornering, showcasing its prowess in this specific discipline.
