Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (225/40R19 93Y XL)

Precision Handling Meets Exceptional Longevity. “Amplify Your Sport.”

The Pilot Sport 5 (PS5) replaced the legendary PS4 by focusing on two main improvements: significantly better tread life and a more premium aesthetic. It is currently one of the most awarded summer tyres in independent 2024 and 2025 tests.

✨ Key Performance Technologies

• 🏎️ Dynamic Response Technology:

  Michelin uses a hybrid belt made of Aramid and Nylon that encircles the tyre structure. This prevents the tyre from distorting at high speeds, ensuring that when you turn the steering wheel, the car reacts instantly with “motorsport-like” precision.

• 📏 MaxTouch 2.0 Construction:

  One of the PS5’s biggest advantages is its lifespan.6 The MaxTouch technology optimizes the contact patch to distribute the forces of cornering and braking evenly.7 Independent tests show it can last up to 15% longer than its predecessor, often reaching 45,000-50,000 km even with spirited use.

• 🏁 Dual Sport Tread Design:

  The tread is functionally split:

  • Inner Side: Features massive grooves for rapid water evacuation (Wet Grip: A).

  • Outer Side: Uses large, rigid blocks to maintain grip during aggressive, high-speed cornering on dry roads.

• 🎨 Premium Touch Sidewall:

  The PS5 features a patented laser-engraved micro-texture on the sidewall, creating a “velvet” matte-black finish. It is widely considered the most attractive sidewall design in the industry, making your 19-inch wheels pop.

• 🔍 Wear2Check Indicator:

  A unique visual gauge within the tread allows you to monitor the wear level across the tyre at a glance, helping you identify alignment issues before they ruin the tyre.

📊 EU Label Ratings

• Wet Grip: A (Maximum safety and shortest braking distances)

• Fuel Efficiency: C (A strong balance for a high-performance compound)

• External Noise: B (72 dB – Refined for a UHP tyre)

The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is the premier “no-compromise” tyre for 2026. It is ideal if you want a tyre that makes your car feel alive in the corners but won’t need replacing every year.
