Michelin Pilot Sport 5 Update - Never Again!? 

Super sports were fine until you wore them down to 1/32 and then in the wet, they were dangerous.

Probs at least 10,000/12,000 depending on driving style. Yeah the starting tread definitely doesn’t help!

@@roadreg1820 I will have to do some sums to see which works out the best value as the Goodyears are considerably cheaper. Performance wise there doesn't seem much to choose.

I have read professional reviews that the PS5 are redesigned PS4 with focus on wear performance making the PS5 wear the best in class but possibly not much improvement on anything else (not that you can improve on much other than maybe the noise levels). The PS3 were good and made it well worth the money for the grip/wear, the PS4 were only just worth getting as the wear was poor but grip excellent, the PS5 are meant to correct that wear issue and should last (they say) for about 30k. But obviously where, what and how you drive will influence that.

6/8,000 so far

It will be fine :)

@@roadreg1820 brilliant, thanks!

Very, very good. These don’t have stiff sidewalls. They’re marginally stiffer than the PS4’s but it’s not really noticeable.

Wow really!? I’m surprised about that tbh! You know what? I might have to try these AS6’s for myself on my next round of tyres!

I have not noticed that! I will have a proper look when I’m cleaning the wheels next time.

That’s a shame. They are fairly soft. The Dunlop’s will be more dry focused, no?

Yes the PS5 is more a comfort oriented tyre and NOT a sport type as the PSS or PS4S Direzza is a pure track tyre PS4S or PSS are somehow between PS5 and Cup2/Direzza

😂

I’ve heard a lot about them. I would definitely favour the PS5’s over those as they have incredible dry grip too.

@roadreg1820 it's kinda in the name, rainsports better in the wet tyre without rain in its name better in the dry 🤷‍♂️

Wow that’s crazy. Yeah they’re seriously impressive!

I heard that run flats are easier to get bulge

Why? You enjoy your Ling Langs.. 😀

You won’t regret it :)

Dam right ya can.

@@roadreg1820 have you a GT86? I’ve been trying to find PS5 reviews on GT86/BRZ but not had much look this evening

@@ShanesAutos No but I know a bit about the GT86. I am confident they will work well on that car. I am glad you came across this review 😃

It is exactly what OT mentioned. RWD + PS5 = Best for wet traction. It will give you a lot of security on your GT86. You can push the corner much harder on your wet and dry, with a trade off of precise handling, a bit too comforted steering, grippy with understeer. Most importantly, your rear won't slide as regularly as you might like, especially when driving an 86.

Not as good as the PS5’s. On the M140i anyway. I had them

@roadreg1820 I have the pilot supersports on my m135i thats got 600bhp, nearly kill me in the wet. I've been told to put goodyear supersports on 😂 not going to do that now then ha 😅

@@shaneevans774I’ve got ps5 on my 500bhp m135i really good tyre

Nice!

+1 they're great in the wet

I like the F1A6 better cos it's a much quieter tire. The PS5 is very good grip in the wet and dry. It's the best in the wet and dry. Just too noisy for me. Wear rate is a bit better on the PS5 too. F1A6 wears a little more than PS5. Comfort wise they are quite similar surprisingly. But noise is a deal breaker for me

Yes but Bridg get more mileage, and breaking / dry grip and feeling of PS4S is outrageous

Depends on what kinda driving you do, and what you want from the tyre. I think they are really good tyres for a 5 series with big profiles.

​@@roadreg1820 i drive like an 80 year old so no where push the car to its limits. Normal commute is 80km a day with 60km on highway at speeds between 90-120kmph. Once or twice a year, I will drive through the Autobahn and I drive at 180-220kmph. The label said the Michellin Primacy is rated C on Fuel Efficiency, A on Grip and 69db. For me the most important is Grip(Safety) followed by low tyre noise and fuel efficiency is a bonus. What other tyres are out there that does better than the Primacy 3? Thank you for your advice.

@@FABM27 I would say the Primacy 4+ or GoodYear A Symmetric 6 would be ideal

@@roadreg1820 primacy 4 is not made for 19" unfortunately so had to settle for primacy 3

@@FABM27 ah that’s fair enough. Still great tyres!

I think around 34 f and 36 rear (roughly)

Very nice. You’re gonna have a lot of grip!

@@roadreg1820 I love to drive 266 km/h on the Bosnian autobahn/highway 165 mph, I want to see if it can maybe go faster. My last tires were PS4.

I would like to try them next, possibly.

I’m comparing them because that’s what I had before, so that’s what I have to compare against.

@@roadreg1820 ok, just saying 😃

@@ljakrtsh1 I am curious about the GYAS6’s.. I might try them next time I need to change tyres. They sound really good!

@@roadreg1820 I bought Asymmetric 6 few weeks ago...so far they feel great, very silent and good grip

@@roadreg1820 I don't know if my last comment was uploaded so I will write again...I bought Asymmetric 6 few weeks ago and they seem to be great so far, good grip and very silent, they have great scores on every test I saw
