In this comparison, we take an in-depth look at two popular summer tyre models: the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and the Yokohama Advan Sport V107. Both tyres are designed with precision and performance in mind, but how do they truly stack up in tests?
Michelin Pilot Sport 5
In the lineage of Michelin's famous Pilot Sport series which includes the Sport 3 and Sport 4, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 stands out with a remarkable 99% rating from our experts. This UUHP (Ultra Ultra High Performance) tyre impresses with exceptional dry handling and aquaplaning resistance, offering drivers a high level of safety regardless of weather conditions.
According to AutoBild, the advantages of the sport tyre include precise steering behaviour and excellent driving dynamics, good aquaplaning reserves, and short wet and dry braking differences. The higher price point is one of its few drawbacks, but considering the high-end performance, it's worth every penny for many drivers.
Yokohama Advan Sport V107
On the other side of the spectrum, the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 offered a sporty driving experience for well-experienced drivers. While rated lower at 52%, it stands out in dry handling, even on aggressive terrains, rendering a unique driving experience.
However, TyreReviews.com's tests reveal that the V107 tyres were significantly rougher over potholes, potentially causing comfort issues. Higher rolling resistance and struggles in stopping during wet conditions were also noted.
Test Positions
Interestingly, despite its superior rating, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 trailed the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 in test positions. In a mutual test by AutoBild, Michelin took the 6th place out of 50 tyres tested, while Yokohama secured the 4th place. Yokohama's dry braking performance helped them secure their position.
Verdict
Without a doubt, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan Sport V107 are two high-performance summer tyres. Both offer a sporty driving experience with the Michelin tyre offering superior precision and aquaplaning resistance. Yokohama shines with robust dry handling, but struggles more with wet conditions and comfort, indicating that it might be better suited for strictly dry, aggressive environments.
As always, choosing a tyre should depend on your unique preferences and driving conditions. Consider these test results alongside your needs to make the best decision. For more detailed test results, visit the individual product pages: Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Yokohama Advan Sport V107.
