Michelin Pilot Sport 5 275/40 R19 105Y XL

The summer tire Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is designed for dynamic versions of passenger cars. It stands out for its rare combination of sports handling and resistance to abrasive wear.

Sports precision handling

The tread pattern has an asymmetric design, divided into two functional zones. The outer side with massive deformation-resistant elements provides reliable grip on dry pavement. The inner part with a large number of drainage grooves and block edges of increased area allows you to maintain control over the car on a wet surface. The optimized profile of the entire tread area as a whole increases the contact patch, giving it a shape close to rectangular. This solution reduces pressure on the road surface, ensuring its even distribution. This significantly improves handling, especially during dynamic maneuvering.

Increased mileage

Even compared to the previous model, which has proven itself as a wear-resistant sports tire, this tire stands out for its even greater mileage. This is due to several important changes in its design. First of all, it is the use of a breaker, in the cord of which nylon and aramid fibers are used - it increases the stiffness and resistance of the entire structure to deformation, which reduces the level of abrasive impact on the tread. The rubber compound contains a complex of special elastomers that, by increasing the strength of molecular bonds between all components of the compound, significantly increase the tire's resistance to wear. All this guarantees a long service life even under extremely high loads on the tire.

Key features of Michelin Pilot Sport 5

- increased handling precision on dry pavement and reliability in handling on wet roads thanks to an asymmetric tread pattern with division into functional zones;
- reinforced synthetic breaker and special rubber compound provide exceptional resistance to abrasive wear for sports tires;
- optimized tread profile improves handling and stability during dynamic cornering.
