Michelin Pilot Sport 5

[kiwi]

After 57,000 km it was finally time to replace the original Bridgestone Turenza T005 tyres.

Lots of views on tyres here but my priorities were handling, wet braking, and noise. I'm really impressed with the new PS5 boots.

We don't get to drive much in the snow here, so winter tyres aren't a thing. The Turenzas were not much good in gravel corners and I thought they were a bit slippery in the wet. Probably too biased towards EV range and long life.

The PS5 are noticeably more comfortable and quiet while feeling much more grippy from the off.

About to fit my wife's ZS EV with Michelin Primacy 5 tyres, replacing Maxxis Bravo OEMs so that will be an interesting comparison.

I'm off to clean those wheel rims!

Good choice @kiwi, I would think Michelins are what I'll go for when I eventually wear the Bridgestones out.

I’m partial to some Michelins when the Bridgestones finally give out, maybe a little sooner if I decide on after market rims.
