OVERVIEW
The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 (MO1) is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with MO1 as it is the original equipment of Mercedes vehicles. This model is EV-Ready, meaning these tires are compatible with both electric and traditional vehicles. This tire is for the rear axle position.
The model offers exceptional high speed controllability throughout its performance. The asymmetric tread design’s optimized surface contact upgrades steering responsiveness and driving stability. The better road contact maintains surface contact during the drive, which increases the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands. On the other hand, it also improves the structural stability throughout the drive. The ideal shoulder block placement provides additional biting edges, which improves the cornering and maneuvering capabilities. These elements ensure a safe driving experience.
High speed performance is also guaranteed. The model’s internal structure features a high-tensile steel belt construction, which greatly increases the high speed durability. They work together to maintain the ideal tire shape under high speed driving pressure. In this manner, the tire is able to securely perform at its greatest high speed capability, as the ideal shape does not deform. As a result, the tire provides safe driving durability.
Exceptional summer traction is promoted with this tire model. The ideal tread design and the summer compound improve dry and wet grip. In this manner, the ideal tread design closely follows the road in the summer season, while the compound prevents heat build-up in warm temperatures. On the other hand, large circumference grooves eliminate water from the footprint and prevent hydroplaning.
The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 (MO1) offers high driving comfort levels. These great comfort levels are ensured with the tread design. The closed shoulder pattern prevents airwaves from entering the footprint. In this manner, they do not come into contact with the tread elements during the drive. This promotes a quiet performance, as road disturbances do not ruin the passengers’s driving enjoyment.
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.
