Best tires ever, hands down.
I bought these tires a couple weeks ago and I am very pleased with their performance.

Great tire
It's a great tire, but it doesn't have the same feel as when I was using the Pilot Sport 4. The Pilot Sport 4 has an AA traction rating, while this one has an A rating. The tire wear is fantastic I've fallen in love with it, and the steering response is excellent.

Great, smooth and quiet tire
I had purchased Firestone Firehawk tires and they were very noisy. I replaced them with the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and they were much quieter and had a very smooth feel on the road! The Firestones were less expensive, but as they say you get what you pay for! I have a Mazda 3 hatchback grand touring model, which is like a sports car. The original tires were Dunlop and they lasted 43,000 miles. I hope to get that much out of these tires!

Great performance at great cost!
I bought these a year ago. The grip was excellent, including two weeks where the early morning temperatures were about -6/-8 C. I expected the grip to be greatly reduced, but they did extremely well. They were quiet and comfortable. The grip continued to be excellent as the temperatures climbed during the summer, as one would expect. I don’t know that I would buy them again because of the cost. They were about $700 more than the competition (roughly) and while I was delighted with their performance, I don’t think they would be worth the cost once these wear out. I thought they wore quite a bit over the summer (20,000 km) but my tire shop thought the wear was appropriate. 5 mm tread remaining. Good for two summers if they wear at the same rate.

Great grip in both wet and dry
I have had these Tyres on for 18months and travelled 36,000Km in my Skoda Superb Sportline 206KW , they have been rotated twice and the current wear indications show that I should hit 60,000 km as they are still showing 4.7mm tread depth.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim. For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
(Y)-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 118 124 130 136 143 149 155 161 168 174 180 186
Inflation Increase (psi) 0 0 0 0 1.5 3 4.5 6 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5

For speeds above 186 mph (300 kph), consult your vehicle manufacturer and tire dealer. Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
