These tires are amazing, they combine road comfort and high performance. The sidewall is a little softer than I would like, but increasing tire pressure to 40 psi mostly negates this. The grip is incredible, so predictable and consistent, dry or wet, it just hooks onto the road and doesnt let go. The grip gets even better when the tires heat up. Car feels very stable under braking and hard acceleration. Definitely a good choice for a high performance car that doesnt really go on the race track much, great for normal roads. 10/10 would get a speeding ticket again.

Here comes a review for Asian market which specifically for Malaysia end-users.
Hands down the best tire that you can have. Besides from the price, everything was top notch and deliver one of the highest performance which for me is the best so far. Been fitted the tire for my 2015 Honda Accord 2.0 T2A, which I used Primacy 4 previously.

In conclusion, simply exceptionally good in both dry and wet conditions. With a really fast response to the steering wheel, great road feedback, very predictable and a really good handling overall. The tires just reached their 5000km milestone after just 6 weeks of installing. For a very spirited driving style and covering to almost all mix type of roads - consist of highways, urban/city, regional and old roads, I've been very satisfied with the tires that meet my needs as a sale engineer which need me to travel a lot to meet clients in different states and basically had the car as my 2nd home.

Right from the start, I definitely can feel the difference compared to the previous set. The tires response really well to the acceleration/gas pedal and braking. It does give me confidence to go through the roads really fast and trust it's braking power. From hitting 140km/h on average daily driving and up to 220-230km/h if the situation allow, the tires help me to swift between cars and deliver predictable + solid cornering at highspeed. Both in dry and wet conditions.

Stunning sidewall, high grip, low noise and I also noticed that it has a good treadwear/longetivity that compliment well with my high speed driving style and lots of deep braking. The tread still looks like new and significantly less wear on the surface. Coming from other brand of tire sales engineer that specifically target TBR (Truck Bus Radial) and LT (Light Truck), this review isn't a biased opinion but rather an honest one which Michelin Pilot Sport 5 did exceed all my expectations and overall improve/gave a whole new driving experience. A really worthy value for the money spent. Very recommended.

Simply said, amazing tires. With this car I’ve already made over 180.000 miles mainly on highways and country roads, 60% on summer tires and 40% on winter tires. Tried many different tire brands and models but PS5 are simply the best you can get. My driving style is usually “efficient” which means I don’t necessarily have to fly at illegal speeds on highways but like to enjoy corners at country roads where I don’t want to lose my speed, and that’s where you appreciate good grip and handling. The PS5 are absolutely incredible on the wet, you can easily and safely go on highways at speed limit even in heavy rain and that’s where you notice the difference from other tires, too. The only discipline where it is not the best is the race track, on a track day they are not as good as PS4, but for public traffic they are perfect.

Two sets later, first one on 225/45r17 which i drove for about 6-7000 kilometers before selling those wheels, and now on my 18 inch combo of 225/40r18 and 255/35r18 which I did around 22-23.000km to this point... Man I love this tire... Such combination of comfort, sportiness and performance is honestly hard to match... At this mileage front tires are at only 50% of legal depth tread, and rear ones surely have over 65% left to them, and I drive rather hard. I find this apsolutely mind-blowing tread life for UHP tires... Will buy again, and again, and again, until they come with PS6

Pretty good dry grip, even better wet grip. Wear is reasonable considerigng it's an UHP terry, but it is expected from Michelin anyhow. I've been using PS4 earlier which I found a bit better than these PS5. There is an annoying noise at about 100 km/h. At the end of the day I like these tires. I am using them for the 2nd season.
(On my other car I am using Falken Azenis FK520, and those are not much inferior to these Michelins.)

Only done 1000 miles but these new Michelin sport 5s are very good and a noticeable improvement on the 4s.
They handle well, no notice able uneven wear pattern as yet.
They are quiet too.
And pot holes seem less jarring, more adsorption from the rubber compound?

Very impressed with the dry grip, didn't think you could have such grip without going to a semi slick, this is worlds ahead of other premium tires I have felt. (looking at you pzero and pilot super sport, although on very different cars, which were not mine) They also do not compromise on wet grip, even on the ancient chassis of the e36, it felt perfectly safe to drive in a downpour with standing water. They're also still comfortable and quiet which is not always a given with performance tires.

I bought the PS5s to replace run flat Pirelli P-Zeros, as I wanted tires that would be more comfortable and last longer. I started off a bit disappointed as they felt less grippy and made the steering quite vague. But after a thousand kms they have changed and now prove to have great levels of grip. They are quiet, ride well (noticeably better than the old run flats) and that sidewall looks fantastic. The Pirellis had slightly more grip and better steering feel, but the expected longevity of the Michelins is worth the trade-off. Only thing I wish they had would be better rim protection as it's quite narrow.

One of the best summer tires that i bought

Now I've only had these tires fitted for a little over a week so take my review with a pinch of salt, but I feel like I have driven the car enough to give a brief review of how they feel. Firstly - the grip. I've heard lots if great things about how grippy these tires are and they are very much true. You can carry lots of speed into corners and they'll just grip up and go round them without any hassle. The difference is especially noticeable coming from the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus fitted by the previous owner. The steering is quite sharp, with very little hesitation and slip when you turn in. The level of grip in both the dry and wet is very impressive and confidence inspiring. They also very comfortable and quiet for daily driving which again is impressive considering the performance. Can't comment on wear since I've only had them for so little time. The only drawback, like many have mentioned is the feedback. For a sporty tire it really doesn't provide a lot of feedback and feel back to the driver. Yes, the steering is sharp and the grip is incredible, but I definitely wished there was more feedback provided. Still, considering how good of an all rounder the PS5s are, I can still easily recommend them.

Hands down the best tires I've used on this car, the only negative is the highish price, but they are worth every penny. Stable and predictable at the limit, with a very neutral balance, with the on-centre response being fairly good, the steering feels communicative and with a nice weighting, at all speeds. On highways and country roads, they are nice and quiet, and easily ride over bumps. In the rain, these are by far the best tires I have ever used, great through heavy rain and stop amazingly. I still haven't aquaplaned on the PS5, which is a testament to the great life of the tire, and I have noticed no wear at all.

Got this tires as i didn't had much of choice because Michelin stopped the making of the Pilot Sport 4. They do not grip as the ps4, i tried to "play" with all 4 wheels tire pressure, and i can get it to grip and handle at the ps4. I'm completely do not have the confidence to throw and play with my car on corners and turns, like for 3 times i almost got thrown to the side of the road. with the ps4 it did not happen to me to me at all.... im with kw street comfort coilovers for almost 4 years, and these tires doesnt give me the grip and the confidence as it wanted... and its not very cheap either...




Pros -
tire is more comfort and "gentle" as comparing to the ps4.
breaking is really super good.
tire definitely have more "meat" on it.

Cons -
grip and handling is not as i expected from tire that should be a good upgrade from the pilot sport 4.
will not buy again.
im looking for new set of 4 tires and would defiantly replace them very soon.
