I have recently moved from the Michelin Pilot Super Sports to the PS5 on my 420hp RWD M140i. The difference in grip levels is staggering, I have gone from lighting up the rear tyres in the dry in 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd, to having almost immediate grip from a standstill. Absolutely transformed the capabilities of the car.

Hi mate how old were your PSS? I'm in a similar boat, looking to switch out the PSS on my Maserati Gransport (similar power, RWD, similarly spins up all the way to third). I was thinking 4S but I heard they have soft sidewalls and aren't as sharp and I don't want that. I'd go toyo r888r which are AWESOME from testing on my previous car, but they also tend to sandblast side sills when warm which I'd want to avoid. Yokohama AD08R are also apparently great, haven't tried those. Are the PS5 as sharp as your previous PSS?
@iRichhyy
@iRichhyy Жыл бұрын
@@Tom--Ace Hi Tom, I suppose it depends on your use case and how you drive the car. The main benefits for me for the PS5 over the PSS is the all year round usability. They are night and day different in the cold/damp/wet conditions. The PSS only provided any level of grip if it was bone dry and over 12/14 degrees C. Im sure you've experienced this. In truth I only went for the PS5 as I can't get the PS4S in my tyre size. Whilst the 4s won't offer much more grip in wet/dry conditions apparently they are a lot more rewarding when pushing on. Either way I would 100% recommend switching from the PSS to PS5 or 4S especially if you live in a climate like the UK.

This again confirms to me that I made the right choice for PS5 for my Alfa GT. Perfect all rounder, which still keeps the comfort, but also wouldn't be ashamed if taken to a track day. After 3k KM with them I can say that I'm superbly pleased, and happy to see the life expectancy, plus with the added bonus of keeping the wet performance when close to end of it's lifetime. Also can confirm the wet performance is really amazing, I felt super safe during my speedy highway night drive across Europe in the pouring rain recently. Perfect tyre for GT cars in my opinion. Happy Michelin customer. :) P.S: Astonishing test as always John!

THANK YOU ! It’s so rare to see a test between different categories of tyres ! This will make choosing between Touring and Performance tyre much easier. Your test clearly shows the importance of choosing the right category for your application. The Touring tyre is probably the safest for the average driver with no piloting skills thanks to it’s predictability. Also it’s more refined for everyday driving. The UHP is the tyre for a GT, shining when driving fast on the road. But it’s not for the track. The UUHP is definitely the one to choose for driving at the limit on a track. Also, the data for TÜV shows that tyres should be tested when worn, there was some good and bad surprises in their testing…

As someone who lives in a warmer climate (Queensland, Australia), I for one was happy that the testing was done on a warmer day as it was more applicable to me! 🙂 Also, really interested to see the extra data including the other brands as I was comparing to some of them, and my preference for the PS5 was confirmed independently. Thanks for these videos, that are very informative, and really well presented and explained. 👍

The statistics provided by the TÜV really attest to the consistency in performance over wear with the Michelin tyres. I've said this before, but the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres I drive on still perform like new at end-of-life in all situations. I'm on my second set on my Golf VII R. Fortunately, living in Australia means I can enjoy the high grip that comes with the high temperatures here, but they're still very competent in the wet. Thanks again for such an empirical and consistent test.

@@Ratcher I was comparing the Cup 2 at its end-of-life to the standard road tyre Bridgestones that came with the car out of the factory. Those unpredictably lost grip in normal driving, even though they still had tread and about 25% wear left. With the Cup 2, I never had that issue. It did expectedly lose a bit of grip towards the end, but I didn't have to alter my driving like I had to with the original tyres that were fitted. Just clarifying my experience, I'm not disputing your experience.

Tyre temperature and how it effects pretty much all aspects of driving is fascinating. Back when I rode my motorcycles, the difference of peak performance temperature between touring tyres (55°C), sports tyres (85°C) and race tyres (95°C) was quite something. In car tyres it's similar, and you can feel that, when the temperatures vary greatly between days.

Have been running the PS5 for around 4000 miles on a mk5 Golf GTi through this years hot british summer. Realise that as I swap from an all season for the summer which will make any performance tyre feel amazing, very familiar roads have felt a lot more precise to drive on compared to the PS 4 used for the last two summers (same car - Golf GTi Mk 5).The PS5 has been very confidence inspiring in the summer down pours - subjectively they felt a lot more surefooted and the TC/ABS hardly triggered. Where I was really surprised was how neutral they felt on the super hot days - previous experience with both PS4 and other brands, the super hot temperatures would feel really imprecise and spongy, especially on the magnificent top dressed british roads (in the same car) but with the PS5 I felt a lot more connected.

This would be true IF Michelin (and all of the other 'majors') offered their models in a FULL RANGE of sizes (at least down into the 17" wheel sizes, if not 16"), for said models. Sadly, Michelin, in all of their wisdom and 'kindness', has never, and will never offer their 'miraculous' PS4S, let alone the even more ridiculously 'up-sized' PSS5, in the size I need (215/40-17), and which would ever possibly fit under my car's wheel wells. I am NOT buying a new ride, with a /35 or /30 rubber band profile, 19"-22" hoops as standard, just to experience their 'perfect' road tire. ☹

Interesting stuff. Also, finally, a tire test that looks at what I care about most, wet roads and 90+ degree temps. I'm in Florida, in the summer it rains almost every day, you can get spot flooding very easily, and the second the clouds are gone it's 90+ degrees, with super high humidity, and the roads are wet and literally steaming well into the night. I owned a C5 Corvette a while back, and it had still had the stock runflats on it, and that thing was nearly impossible to drive in the rain and it slip and slid all over the place, but the tires looked brand new - when I finally changed them out anyways, for the legendary Goodyear GSD3, still the best looking tires ever made, the performance was like getting a new car when the roads were wet, that was the first time I had ever bought good tires and felt them 'bite' in corners, and since then I've always replaced crappy tires with the best wet handling tires I could find for every car I've owned.

Before discovering this excellent channel I put a set of PS4S on my 380bhp F-Type S and a set of PS5 on my 2004 400bhp XKR. I think I made two very good choices more by luck than judgement. Despite the slight horsepower advantage the XKR is far more relaxed and delivers a much smoother ride. I tend not to push too hard but it can motor along very quickly without you realising. The PS5 suits it well. The F-Type in contrast is like and eager puppy encouraging me to push harder all the time. PS4S again suits that well.

I'm a bit disapointed by my PS5 now, compared with my previous 4 (not 4S, could not find ATM for my 2O5/40R17 MX-5), on the specific lifetime point. i've done 40k km with PS4, but now at 20k km, my PS5 look seriously worned, especially on the front. Yes, there endured 4 weeks of road trips at a enjoyable rythm, plus some week-ends, but no track sessions compared to the 4. They give me confidence, they are grippy on dry and wet. But lifetime my not be that better.

Michelin has always been excellent at blending grip with long life so no changes here. Go Michelin! Cavity noise intrigues me as a concept. What does it mean? I had a set of Michelins a while back and I could hear the kind of noise on bumps that you hear when bouncing a large rubber ball like a space hopper, basketball or similar! Sort of high frequency reverberation. 🤔 Very impressed by how objective you manage to make these comparison videos.

That's an interesting sounding sound! Cavity noise is the noise of the sound resonating or bouncing inside the wheel / tyre, it's the mid pitch usually opposed to the slightly higher windish noise from the tread pattern. you might have had a loose TPMS lol
@toddpowell9393
@toddpowell9393 2 жыл бұрын
Cavity noise is caused by the vibration of the air within the tyre causing a dull droning noise, typically around 220-240Hz. Interestingly both Honda, Lexus and Michelin themselves have tried to engineer small cavities (called Helmholtz resonators) within the wheel spokes/rims which are tuned to cancel out these frequencies, akin to blowing over the rim of a beer bottle!

I've been using Michelin PS5 on my F30 for almost 2 months now. No joke it's great on dry and wet road, only problem is it's like I can feel the road surface. Not sure if it's my suspensions are bad but comparing to BMW's stock RFT, even the road lines can be felt but it's nothing serious. I'm not really concern about the noise because of my exhaust drone sound. Anyway, PS5 is worth even penny. It is kinda expensive here in Malaysia.

Did 2 set of Primacy 4 for my MPV and 2 set of PS4 and currently use PS4S for my GTI. Primacy 4 definitely for comfort driving especially when you drive with family. Low noise level and confident in wet. On the other hand for the PS4, first change of PS4 is made in EU. Love the overall character of the car. Straight line stability and calm on center. Most of the time my GTI is driven on highway. Replace the first set after clocked 66k km with 2.6mm of thread left. New set of PS4 is made in Thailand. First difference I had noticed is the straight line is slight wandering during high speed compared to previous set. This set of tyre clocked 25k km then I replaced with new set of wheel and tyre (19" pretoria wrapped with PS4S made in EU) PS4S definitely the best tyre to date. On center feel still calm but progressive build up as the steering turns. Straight line stability and tracking is improved a lot! @Jonathan looking forward to see comparison of different manufacturing plant e.g PS4 EU vs Thailand vs China.

At the start of summer I bought Lexus GS 450h. It came with very worn winter tires. At first I thought I will just make with them until next winter ant just buy new winter tires. First rain changed that line of thought... Car was sliding a lot and I'm not risking crashing expensive car just because I have cheapened out on one tire fitting. At first I was thinking about PS5 (mainly because of your summer tire review), however I have 0 interest in taking my car into track. So I went with Primacy 4+. Coming from right after winter tire, they felt bit rough, however, after 2 months and couple of longer trips, now they softened a bit and now I'm pretty happy with them.

Wet weather performance has also been fantastic, having used them through some pretty strong rainstorms. I also drove at 220km/h on the Autobahn with them and they felt rock solid. Lastly, I got caught by a surprise April snowstorm with them and I didn't slip at all. Really love them, I will definitely be sticking to Michelin for my next set of tyres.

Brilliant review Thanks. It is fantastic to find someone who can talk so coherently about tyre chartacteristics, and even better that you have the skills (and facilities) to test them in a meaningful way. It is a pity (in a very narrow way) that tyres last so long, as with the amount of driving I do, I'm only changing tyres every three to five years, so have very little exposure to different tyre types and makes. Anyway, I followed your advice in 2019 to put PS4 tyres on my GTi, and 36,000km later, will be replacing the fronts with PS5's. I can't believe how good the PS4's have been. They grip like chewing gum and are relatively quiet, even on New Zealand's awful chip seal roads.

Absolutely bang on, both your analysis and Michelin's decision to stick to their guns re; the PS5. It's a fantastic road tyre, amazing in the wet and dry, just a bit average on track, and that's fine, it does it's job perfectly. I try and keep a set of PS4/5 and Cup2's for my car and they cover almost all bases.

I honestly don't know how you could even buy anything else than the latest PilotSport tyre. Even if you don't need that sporty character, it still outperforms other tyres in wet/dry cornering and braking. My worn out PS 3's still do amazing in both dry and wet. You could say PilotSports are overkill on my boring slow A3 1.6 FSI but they're simply the safest tyre, and they actually transform the car into a very fun gripped up car on the local mountainpasses. I'm already excited to slap on some PS5's next summer.

For future videos it would be awesome to see differences between Michelin all-season tires such as the Michelin Defender.

While these 3 tires might be pretty solid, I do prefer 4 tires on my vehicle.

Excellent review as always. Amazing to see the sidewalls moving across the rims in the corners.

2 or 3 laps maybe 🥲🤣 I got them to overheat with about 25 mins of spiritive driving whilst an uphill mountain road. (So very minimal brake usage) Wouldn't recommend them on track, they will overheat and most probably you will wear them out really fast which would be a real shame since it is a very long lasting tyre.

Exactly what Socrates says. If you're not too fast they'd be fine but if you're pushing them you could easily overheat and chew through the outer parts the fronts in 10-15 laps. Fine on a wet day.

Ok, thanks for the replies guys! 😁 I just saw them getting pushed hard around the track here and also they come on the gt86s, so thought maybe they can take the abuse..😆
