Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

340 A A

•  340 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  A Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is an Asymmetrical Tyre


tyre-size

Asymmetrical tread patterns combine different tread types to deliver maximum wet and dry road grip via its inner and middle tread, while outside, larger and rigid tread blocks dominate the design to improve cornering.

To avoid fitting mistakes, asymmetrical tyres are labelled "outside" and "inside only" so you know if they will face your vehicle or out.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of tyre is the Michelin Pilot Sport 5?
The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is a summer performance tyre built for performance cars, the fifth generation in Michelin's Pilot Sport line. It uses an asymmetrical tread design, so the inner and outer halves are built differently to balance wet grip with sharp cornering. Prices run from $215 to $680 depending on your size.

2. How much does the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 cost?
Prices for the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 start at $215 and go up to $680, depending on size, with everything from 16-inch to 21-inch covered. Enter your car's make and model or your current tyre size to see the exact price for your fitment, along with delivery and local fitting options.

3. What awards has the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 won?
The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 won Gold in the 2024 DriverReviews Awards for Best Tyres for Hot Hatches, recognised for its dynamic grip and sharp road feel. That award was based on verified feedback from European customers rather than a lab test, so it reflects how the tyre actually feels to drivers on the road.

4. What is the UTQG rating of the Michelin Pilot Sport 5?
Its UTQG rating is 340 A A. The 340 treadwear score points to a longer expected tyre life on that 100 to 1000 scale, while the double A rating covers traction, how it grips wet roads, and temperature resistance, how well it handles heat build-up, both sitting at the top of the scale.

5. Is the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 noisy?
It runs slightly louder than some other performance tyres in its class, which is the main trade-off for its grip and control. In exchange, you get excellent wet and dry braking, strong resistance to hydroplaning, and a design that's been tuned to lower rolling resistance and emissions compared to earlier Pilot Sport generations.
