Next generation sporty MICHELIN summer tyre
Designed for durability and long-lasting performance
High reactivity for precise steering
Optimal grip and braking performance on wet and dry roads
High performance tyre with an aesthetic look
For performance and driving pleasure that lasts
With the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5, you get driving pleasure that thrills. Thanks to MICHELIN Dynamic Response Technology, the summer tyre offers strong performance, precise handling and reliable steering control. The MaxTouch construction distributes the forces generated during acceleration, braking and cornering evenly across the tread. For a long service life of your summer tyres and long-lasting driving pleasure.
For strong grip and control on dry and wet surfaces
Strong braking on wet and dry surfaces: Stay in control in summer with the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5. The DualSport tread integrates large, longitudinal grooves. Water is drained through them – for optimal grip in wet conditions. At the same time, outer rigid tread blocks provide reliable grip on dry roads.
Performance meets design
High-quality design and strong performance: the MICHELIN Pilot Sport 5 scores with this unbeatable combination. It has a PremiumTouch tyre sidewall that gives it a matte black, velvety appearance. The Wear2Check indicator lets you check the wear of the tyre tread at a glance.
MICHELIN tyres: safe on the road even with little tread left
Produce tyres that remain safe and efficient even when driven. Michelin pursues this goal through intensive research. The results are innovations like the MICHELIN EverGrip technology that delivers impressive durability.
Michelin's commitment to the environment
Michelin not only takes responsibility for your safety on the road, but also for the environment. That is why the company is always working on making the production process "greener" and thus reducing its own ecological footprint.
Based on its award-winning Long Lasting Performance strategy, Michelin also optimises its products: for greater longevity.
Michelin – over 130 years of commitment to tyres, mobility and innovation
Purposeful and committed, Michelin, one of the world's leading brands, has been pursuing its key objectives since 1889: The development of safe, clean and efficient transport and mobility for people and goods. Based on intensive research and development, the premium tyre manufacturer is constantly introducing new technical innovations. The company's slogan, which is both aspiration and motivation for the employees, speaks for itself: “We'll take you further.”
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more

Overview of criteria and valuation classes
Fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption is dependent upon the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, driving conditions and driving style. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tyre is categorised in classes A (most efficient) to E (least efficient).
Fitting a vehicle with class A tyres all round can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%* in comparison to the same vehicle with class E tyres all round. Commercial vehicles may have even greater reductions.
(Source: Impact analysis of the European Commission
* if measured in accordance with the stated procedures in EU Regulation 2020/7400)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and can be reduced considerably by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. To improve fuel efficiency, tyre pressures must be checked regularly.
Wet grip
Wet grip is categorised in classes A (shortest braking distance - E (longest braking distance).
A car fitted with class A tyres can have a braking distance which is 18 m shorter than that of a car fitted with class E tyres when performing an emergency stop at 80 km/h (in average road grip conditions). *

Please note:
Road safety is highly dependent upon individual driving style. Stopping distances must always be observed. To improve road grip in wet conditions, tyre pressure must be checked regularly.
External rolling noise
The noise emission of a tyre has an effect upon the total noise of the vehicle and influences not only driving comfort, but also environmental noise pollution. The EU tyre label categorises extrnal rolling noise in the classes from A (quietest rolling noise level) to C (loudest rolling noise level). This is measured in decibels (dB) and compared to the European noise emission limit values for external tyre rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" shows that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by more than 3 dB.
B
Classification "B" means that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by up to 3 dB.
C
Classification "C" means that the specified limit value has been exceeded.
