This is the story of the new Michelin Pilot Sport S 5, and how Michelin and Mercedes worked together to make it the ultimate tire for the new Mercedes AMG GT63!

The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 is the successor to the hugely popular Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and aims to be better in every way, but in particular better steering reactions which is something i always found lacking on the PS4S.

The MO version of the tire has taken the base of the PSS5 and tuned it even further to work perfectly with the new Mercedes AMG GT63.

In this video we interview the lead Michelin / AMT development test driver, and compare the new Pilot Sport S 5 [MO1] against the track focused Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R [MO1]
