More confidence, in wet and dry conditions, even after 3000 miles.
#1 for wet grip on the road
Using the latest combined technologies of MICHELIN 2CT and 2CT+ and the latest generation of compounds and siped tread, MICHELIN Road 5 tyres offer you the best wet grip versus its main competitors without compromise on dry roads.
Even after 3000 miles, experience exceptional braking in the wet
Even after 3000 miles, a MICHELIN Road 5 tyre stops as short as a brand new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tyre thanks to the evolutionary MICHELIN XST Evo sipes.
Fun to ride
With its dry grip, stability and best handling versus its main competitors, thanks to MICHELIN’s patented ACT+ casing technology, it offers even more riding pleasure.

after the previous set that was metzeler roadtec 01 I have return to Michelin Pilot road 5 because they last a bit longer even though I've spent extra £50 . excellent tyre

Extremely good in dry conditions. A bit of a "twich" a couple of times round bends in the wet but quickly corrected. They are comfortable and good mileage ( these are my second set).
Still cannot get rid of the last 1 inch chicken strip - never had these problem with the Pirelli Angel - I blame the profile :-)
Very good tyres. Second pair so far... no more to say

I’ve ridden on many tyres but I thought I’d spend a bit more and get the Michelin road 5, I first went out when it was pouring with rain and I was astounded! The level of grip was unbelievable, the lean angle you can get was incredible, just like riding in the dry, I’m always hard on the brakes (comes from track racing) and believe me you can get the back wheel off the floor in the wet, don’t just whack them on the let the suspension compress first. Anyway enough rattling on, Amazing road tyres 👍
