The PS5 also offers better high-speed stability and shorter braking distances.

Are Pilot Sport 5 tires suitable for track use?

While primarily designed for road use, the Pilot Sport 5 performs exceptionally well on track days and spirited driving. However, for dedicated track use, Michelin offers the Pilot Sport Cup 2 which is specifically optimized for maximum track performance.

With proper maintenance and rotation, Pilot Sport 5 tires typically provide 40,000-60,000 km of service life, depending on driving style, vehicle alignment, and road conditions. The MaxTouch 2.0 technology significantly improves wear characteristics compared to previous generations.

Can I use Pilot Sport 5 tires in winter conditions?
