Michelin Zomerbanden Pilot Sport 5 245/35R20 XL 95Y
Plus- en minpunten
door onze specialisten
De Michelin Pilot Sport 5 in maat 245/35R20 95Y XL staat bekend als een sportieve zomerband met een heel sterke balans tussen grip, stuurprecisie, comfort en levensduur. In tests en gebruikersreviews wordt vooral de uitstekende grip op droog en nat wegdek geprezen, waardoor de band veel vertrouwen geeft bij hogere snelheden en in bochten. Ook de stabiliteit en directe besturing vallen positief op, terwijl het rijcomfort en het geluidsniveau voor deze sportklasse opvallend goed blijven. Daarnaast krijgt de band vaak complimenten voor de relatief lange levensduur, zeker vergeleken met andere max-performance zomerbanden. Daar staat tegenover dat de aanschafprijs duidelijk aan de hoge kant is en dat voor puur circuitgebruik agressievere, minder straatgerichte banden nog wat meer grip kunnen bieden. Een kleiner deel van de gebruikers meldt bovendien onregelmatige of snellere slijtage, wat vaak samen lijkt te hangen met een sportieve rijstijl of uitlijning. Voor wie vooral op de weg rijdt en zowel sportiviteit als dagelijkse bruikbaarheid zoekt, is dit echter een zeer sterke keuze.

Experienced Aquaplaning at approx 120 kmh on Belgian highway, had approx 4mm thread. Other than this, the tires wear out very quickly. Front wheels are down to 1-2mm after 18000 km. Front wheels wear out strangely on the outside, can probably blame the car model rather than tire for this... Rear wheels still have 3mm left and even wear. Switched to Hankook to see if I experience any difference.

Ik was op zoek naar een band die het extra vermogen van > 300 pk op de weg zou overbrengen. De prijs van de Michelin was weliswaar hoger dan die van andere premium aanbieders, maar op basis van de aanbevelingen was ik bereid om de investering te doen. Tot nu toe ben ik niet teleurgesteld. Grip bij acceleratie, stabiliteit in bochten, geluid en remprestaties voldoen aan mijn verwachtingen. Slijtage en brandstofverbruik kan ik nog niet beoordelen, maar dat zijn niet de belangrijkste criteria. Met de Michelin kunt u optimaal genieten van de verbeterde prestaties en heeft u ook bij hoge snelheden een goed gripgevoel.

Very good performance on dry roads, very good performance on wet roads, very low aquaplaning on the race track, very high performance

Before that I used Continental tires. I had to replace the Conti's every two years due to my driving style. I learned from forums that the wear and tear at Michelin is significantly better. So I chose the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. So far I can't say anything to the contrary, but I've only been using the tires for 6 months. However, what I immediately noticed was the increased fuel consumption, the louder road noise and the lack of grip on wet roads. The Continental tires (Premium Contact 6) did significantly better. On dry roads, on the other hand, Michelin tires have an advantage. Also for road holding feels better and safer. If the tire actually lasts a year longer, that outweighs the disadvantages of the Michelin. Until then, the Michelin mmn will remain behind the Contis.

I decided on this model, because when I bought them, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 were very expensive, almost three times as much, at Michelin they went crazy. Since they were so expensive, they probably didn't sell a Pilot Sport Cup 2, and now they have dropped them quite a bit in price again. Comparing the Sport 4S with the Sport Cup 2, the 4S go very well in the dry, but they do not reach the level of the Cup 2, neither in grip, nor in line, nor in braking. But the 4S are very good tires and if your driving is normal, giving the car some joy from time to time, the 4S are going to be great for you. But if you are looking for a higher level, without a doubt I opt for Cup 2. To keep in mind, if you usually drive in areas where it rains a lot, the 4S are better in the wet than the Cup 2, despite the fact that the latter do not defend themselves bad in the wet.
