Michelin Pilot Sport 5 ZR 93Y XL Tire

Michelin Pilot Sport 5. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Improved controllability; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tread pattern maintains its surface contact during the ride. This enables the tire to enhance its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model offers faster and more precise steering responses throughout the performance, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The wide shoulder blocks increase the number of biting edges, for better cornering ability. At the same time, the special siping details shorten the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. This guarantees the driver's full control over the vehicle throughout the drive.Excellent summer-weather traction is promoted with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern maintains consistent surface contact in the summer season, while the special silica compound prevents heat build-up in warmer temperatures. These elements enhance the tire's performance in dry and wet conditions. Circumferential grooves protect the tire against hydroplaning. They disperse water from the footprint, guaranteeing safe wet-weather traction.The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 offers excellent high speed performance. The reinforced internal structure and the heat-resistant compound work together to improve driving durability. The strong rubber materials effectively prevent heat build-up across the tread area. On the other hand, the strong structure maintains the optimal tire shape during the drive, not allowing it to deform under high speed pressure. This enables the tire to safely perform at its best high speed capability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
