Fitted my first full set 10/22 on a Focus ST3 running 280bhp on a stage 1 map).
Great type but they lasted 7500miles (my commute is 5miles each way) plus general driving. Great tyre but god they wear fast, even the backs only lasted 12months, not usual 24months.
Fitted second full set 10/23 to same car... I've now done 4500miles and they have 4.4mm left all round. Needless.to.say they won't last till 10/24...
The Old PS4S lasted much better wear wise.
I'm struggling to find a reason to try a third full set...
May have to revert back to Eagle F1s.

So after 20 years of getting GY's (loved most of them), Continental (loved all of them), Pirelli (hated most of them) and Bridgestone (hated all of them), I got first time ever Michelin PS5 2 years ago on my 4 series coupe Bmw, they're 225/45/18 size. After that I was so amazed by Michelin generally that I changed to them on all of my cars including 911 997 and as long as they make them this good I'll keep buying them. The wear is amazing and like they told me in the tire shop (that they will stay the same all their legal life) they did. So after 60k km, yes 60k km they were down to legal limit and just today I put a set of new ones. The GY and Continental always performed well at the beginning but after half of the life it would go significantly down. This performed 50% better in wear than ever before. Max I got before on any tyre was 40k km. Yes compared to Pirelli Cinturato P7 run flats the car was equipped from new there is a bit of less steering precision but my God have well they keep corners at Dolomiti mountain roads both in wet and dry and all the way at 50k km, I could actually say that only at around 55k km the back end was much happier going out. I was so blown away by them that I also got for the same car winter Alpin 5 tires and they are amazing as well. I can just say (in my case other people can have different opinions) there is Michelin and then there are other tires.

All our three cars in our house hold we all use Michelin tyres. The Michelin sport pilot 5 is Michelins latest range. We have been using them a while now. It does everything a pilot 4 does. One can really trust and have a lot of confidence in the tyres to perform and do the job they were made to do. I have an S4 Audi and by God the pilot 5s are tremendous. Grips the road like glue. The car with the tyres handle superbaly. Obviously if you foot down all the time the tyres will grip but mileage will not be high but if you drive normally the mileage will be quite high. I got my pilot 5s on offer from Michelins promotion just in March so be quick to get £40 of two tyre. I recommend all high performance car owners to get the pilot 5 tyres. They are very reliable. This review is unbiased I have paid fully for my Michelin tyres.

I've had PS5s on the front on my 2016 S212 E-Class for around a year (7-10k ish) and they've been excellent so far, performance of all kinds is great. I've noticed in the last month or so the tyres are starting to step on the inner tread blocks or go out of shape so they now sound like a pair of faulty wheel bearings. I am a technician at a Mercedes dealer & use our aligner to regularly check my geometry which is always fine, shocks and bushings, etc are all ok so I'm forced to conclude its the tyres themselves. I'll be hanging on to them as long as I can tolerate the noise but I suspect i'll have had enough before theyre worn out (they currently have around 4-5mm remaining). Oddly my 120,000 mile Seat Exeo with the same tyres doesn't have this problem!

As a long time Michelin Pilot Sport user ( PSS / PS2 /PS4S ) the new PS5 is a leap forward , I mo longer do track work so stepped down to the PS5 from PS4S.

The Grip in both the Wet and Dry is excellent but the real plus is that there lasted 25k miles. and were at >3mm when i changed them.

The only downer is that they go out-of-round near the end of their life especially on the inside edge of the tyre ( and yes the geometry was fine) this is also happening on the front tyres as well. so much so it sounded like a wheel bearing was failing. When i rolled the wheel (off the car) on a smooth surface the wheel visibly swayed side-to-side. The higher sports on the tyre appeared to be where the tyre wear indicators are (3 spots on tyre surface).

But this does not distract from 20k+ of fantastic grip.

Bought these for my 330d bmw , bought all 4 and was straight away thinking wow these aren’t as good as the pilot sport 4 !!!
In cold dry weather don’t grip as well .
The pilot 4 gave me confidence where these I’m unsure, hope there better in hotter weather but when these wear out I’m back on the 4

Dry and wet grip was good and predictable. Comfort was a lot better then the previous tyre from factory (pilot super sport). The previous pilot super sport felt more direct in compressing with the pilot sport 5. I drove 18.000 km with the pilot sport 5. At 10.000 km I changed the front to the back. Now 4 tires are gone… so for me the wear is not that great. But it depends how you drive your car of course.
I am gonna try te continental premium contact 7 next.

Replaced these Pilot Sport 5 tyres from the Continental premium contact 6’s that came as standard on car from factory and all I can say is WOW, much less of a dead 12 o’clock feel very progressive when pushing on. Excellent in wet. If I stomped on the go pedal at a roundabout to squeeze out a gap or get me out of bother, the Conti’s just spun up and I had to let of the gas a bit and reapply gently. These Pilot Sport 5’s have NEVER lost traction once yet. The Conti’s were not badly worn either, the rears had about 4ml of tread and the fronts had just under 3. I changed them as I just couldn’t get on with them, they felt hard very crash over bumps. I would buy these PS5’s again in a heartbeat. My car tyre size is quite niche and there isn’t a lot of premium choices but I’m so glad I got these!

great in both wet & dry quiet, comfortable, affordable would definitly buy again.

I was on edge between PS5 and GoodYear Assmyetric 6... GY was cheaper, but I couldn't resist not having PS5 sidewall on my car.... Around 4k miles in, I cannot describe how much I love this tyre... Previous owner of car fitted Primacy 4, which were great, but PS5 is in class of its own...

I personally was not able to find limit of this tyre to this point in both dry or wet, and I drive rather hard... Once I go to right this set, I will get them again without any hesitation

Bought the Pilot Sport 5 to replace half-worn Pilot Super Sports which, despite being awesome in the dry, were downright lethal in the cold and damp! These came off after about 25000 miles and still had around 5mm tread left!
PS5 First impressions were positive but I came to quickly realise that was down to the old-for-new tyre swap! While I've found the PS5 to be good in the cold and wet, it understeers way too much for my liking. The rears in 245/35/18 are now approaching 2mm (after 14 months/less than 20000miles) so any day now I'll be replacing them.

I loved driving on these tires. They gripped surprisingly well early in the season, when, for the first two weeks, the early morning temperatures were -7C.

I never ran out of grip. They hung on in dry and wet.

Here in Canada they cost $2k. But the real shock was that after 20k km they were worn down and have only 3 mm tread left. I usually get 4-5 years out of my tires. I’m on winter tires from October through March to May, depending on the year.
