Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 Deep-Dive Video Explains Enhancements, New Name

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S has a huge following. It's been on the market for six years and is still one of the best ultra-high-performance tires you can buy. Naturally, Michelin wanted to ensure the replacement lived up to the reputation of the PS4S while measurably improving its performance. Based on this video review by Tyre Reviews, it looks like it has.   

The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 builds off the Pilot 4 S, evolving to support the latest demands of high-performance cars. Many tire sizes include acoustic foam to lower internal noise, something owners of performance-oriented electric vehicles will appreciate. The tires are also equipped with connected sensors and built-in RFID and are designed to handle the higher loads placed on them by larger, more powerful hybrid and electric vehicles, like the Ferrari 296 GTB.
