Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (255/35R19 96Y XL)

“Amplify Every Moment.” The 2026 Choice for Spirited Daily Driving.

The PS5 is the direct successor to the multi-award-winning Pilot Sport 4. While it retains the sharp handling DNA of the Michelin Pilot family, the PS5 focuses heavily on “Performance that Lasts,” offering significantly better tread life and wet-weather consistency as the tyre wears down.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

🏎️ Dynamic Response Technology:

A hybrid belt of Aramid and Nylon ensures the tyre maintains its optimal footprint even under the high centrifugal forces of expressway driving. This delivers the “telepathic” steering precision Michelin is known for.

📏 MaxTouch Construction:

This technology evenly distributes forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering across the contact patch. This prevents localized wear and allows the PS5 to last up to 15-20% longer than its predecessor, the PS4.

🌧️ Dual Sport Tread Design:

Inner Side: Features large longitudinal grooves that act as high-velocity pumps to flush water away, ensuring Class-A wet braking and safety during heavy tropical monsoons.

Outer Side: Utilizes rigid blocks optimized for dry-road grip and cornering stability.

💎 Premium Touch Sidewall:

The sidewall features a patented velvet-effect finish, creating a deep, matte-black aesthetic that provides a high-contrast look for your 19-inch alloy wheels.

🔍 Wear2Check Indicator:

The PS5 includes an easy-to-read tread wear indicator, allowing you to monitor the tyre’s life and ensure your vehicle’s alignment is correct at a glance.
