Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 Tire

The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 is a premium performance tire engineered for demanding drivers and high-performance vehicles that require exceptional grip, sharp steering response, and confident road control. As part of Michelin’s renowned Pilot Sport family, the Pilot Sport S 5 is designed to support the performance needs of modern sports cars, luxury performance sedans, and powerful EVs.

Its advanced tread compound and performance-oriented construction help deliver strong dry traction, stable braking, and precise handling during spirited driving. The tread pattern is designed to maintain consistent contact with the road, improving cornering confidence and steering feedback. Wet-weather control is supported by grooves that help evacuate water from the contact patch, adding confidence when conditions change.

For drivers searching for Michelin performance tires, ultra-high-performance tires, summer tires, or premium replacement tires for performance vehicles, the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 offers a refined combination of grip, control, comfort, and Michelin engineering. It is an excellent fit for drivers who want premium tire technology that complements the handling, acceleration, and braking capability of today’s most advanced vehicles.

Checking and Adjusting Tesla Tire Pressure

When your Tesla has been stationary and out of direct sunlight for over three hours:

• Remove the tire air valve stem cap (unscrew cap by hand).
• Firmly press a tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem tip to measure pressure (a small amount of air will escape during measurement, which is normal).
• Compare reading to Tesla Tire Pressure specification (found on the Tire and Loading Information label located midway up on the center door pillar, visible only when the driver’s door is open), add or remove air to match the recommended pressure. Reduce pressure by by pressing the metal pin in the center of the valve. Increase pressure using an appropriate tire inflator pump or compressed air source.
• Re-check pressure using the tire pressure gauge.
• Re-install the valve stem cap (hand tighten)
• Important note: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and can cause a tire to overheat, resulting in severe tire cracking, tread separation, or blowout, which causes unexpected loss of car control and increased risk of injury. Under-inflation also reduces the car's range and tire tread life.
• Tesla TPMS sensors require driving for a short period of time before updated pressure readings are recorded accurately. Expect TPMS readings to reflect accurate tire pressure readings after driving 5 miles.

Factors impacting tire pressure readings:

• Ambient temperature - Air pressure increases in heat and decreases in cold.
• Tire temperature – Tires warm up during use.
• Sunlight – directly sunlight will increase tire temperature and thereby tire pressure.
