Engineered to maintain consistent control as the tread wears, this tyre suits sporty saloons and performance vehicles, delivering reliable grip and longevity on warm British roads.

Key Features

When braking on wet surfaces, the 235-40-R19 Michelin Pilot Sport 5 excels thanks to its tread design which aids in maintaining grip, helping to shorten stopping distances in damp conditions. This ensures confidence during sudden stops or changes in speed.
