Pilot Sport 5New sport tire review: is it good, who is it for

Michelin Thailand says the Pilot Sport 5 lasts 33.5% longer than the average of leading rivals, based on wear testing in France.

The Pilot Sport 5 is the successor to the Pilot Sport 4. It uses Dynamic Response, HyBrid Belt and Max Touch technologies and focuses on precise response and long tread life.

Yes. Michelin Thailand says it is EV compatible.

Michelin is a tire brand from France, headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand, and has used the company name Michelin & Cie since 1889. Michelin Thailand was founded in 1987 and has 3 car tire plants and 1 steel cord plant. Michelin's website does not say which plant makes each size. For example, the Pilot Sport 5 tires ADAC bought from a store in Europe for its 2025 test were made in Serbia.

Well in both tests. AUTO BILD's 2025 test in 225/40 R18 on a BMW 1 Series named the Pilot Sport 5 joint winner (Testsieger) with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, scoring 1.2 (“sehr gut”, very good) among 20 tires that passed the qualifying round (52 entered). ADAC's 2025 test in the same size rated it “gut” (good, 1.9), 3rd of 18, with a top wet score shared with 3 other tires and an estimated life of about 56,400 km. Both were tests in Europe using sizes sold in Europe.

Not in Thailand. The 53 Pilot Sport 5 sizes on Michelin Thailand's website, on 17–21 inch rims, include none ending in ZP or EMT (Michelin's run-flat codes). If your car came with run-flat tires, look at the Pilot Sport 4 in this family, which has ZP and EMT sizes.

Michelin Thailand's website has no model called Pilot Sport 5 SUV. The sport tires Michelin Thailand lists under SUVs are the Pilot Sport 4 SUV and Pilot Sport 5 Energy. Choose by your car's original size and load index.
