Description

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (225/45R17 94Y XL EU)

“Amplify Your Sport.” The 2026 Benchmark for Performance.

The PS5 is engineered with Michelin’s “Safety Made to Last” philosophy. It is designed to maintain high levels of wet-weather grip and steering reactivity even as the tyre wears down, ensuring you get the full value out of its exceptionally long tread life.

✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🏎️ Dynamic Response Technology:

  The tyre features a hybrid belt of Aramid and Nylon that maintains the contact patch shape at high speeds. This results in laser-sharp steering precision and a highly communicative feel that makes your car feel more responsive in the corners.

• 📏 MaxTouch 2.0 Construction:

  Michelin’s primary upgrade over the previous generation is longevity. By distributing forces from acceleration, braking, and cornering more evenly, the PS5 lasts approximately 15% longer than the PS4, making it one of the most durable UHP tyres on the market.

• 🏁 Dual Sport Tread Design:

  The 225mm wide tread is functionally split:

  • Inner Side: Features large longitudinal grooves that act as high-capacity water channels (Wet Grip: A) to prevent aquaplaning during Singapore’s heavy tropical rain.

  • Outer Side: Uses extra-rigid rubber blocks to maximize mechanical “bite” and stability during hard dry cornering.

• 🎨 Premium Touch Sidewall:

  The PS5 features a patented laser-engraved micro-texture on the sidewall, creating a velvet-effect matte black finish. This resists browning and ensures your wheels maintain a high-end, premium look throughout the tyre’s life.

• 🔍 Wear2Check Indicator:

  A built-in visual gauge allows you to easily monitor tread wear and identify early signs of alignment issues, helping you maximize your investment.
