Key Features

When it comes to braking, the 235-45-R19 (99Y) XL MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 5 ensures short stopping distances even on wet surfaces, thanks to its innovative tread design that enhances grip throughout the tyre’s lifespan. This means safer journeys regardless of sudden weather changes.

Longevity is a strong suit for this tyre size, with construction that resists wear and tear, making it a great option for drivers who cover high mileage without compromising performance. It maintains consistent traction as the tread gradually wears down.
