Michelin Energy Saver+

In past 4 years, I had a two sets of Michelin Energy Saver+

First one I had from april to november of 2021, I bought a used set of 4 for only 30 Eur, three tires were manufactured in 2017 and one in 2018. They were 185/65 R15, two had about 3-4 mm and other two about 5-6 mm tread depth left. I just needed something cheap, for one season on a cheap daily car, because car was on some 20 years old Bridgestone's. So 5 years old Michelin's for 30 Eur, in that case, looked like a far better option.

Second one was bought in early spring of 2023, I have it and use it until this day. Second set are 195/55 R15. I bought a full set for 120 Eur, tires were made in Poland, was with around 6.5-7 mm tread depth, and without any signs of previous repairs. All in all - looked like a great choice, because for that price, I couldn't buy even any of the cheapest sets. Brand new Michelin Energy Saver+ in this size was around 140 Eur per tire or around 550€ per set. So 120 Eur for a set of used, but great condition premium tires? Just perfect.

Dry - they are great for dry roads, feels stable, have plenty of grip.
Wet - I use them more carefully on wet roads, especially after reading tire tests and people reviews that they are a little weaker in the wet. But in my experience there wasn't any unpleasant moments or aquaplaning on wet roads, even with quite low tread depth (on first set, rear tires had only about 2-3 mm tread depth left, when I removed them in autumn to replace summer wheels with a winter wheels set), maybe because of precautions and calm driving when raining outside.
Road feedback - knowing fact, that they aren't oriented for super sharp or sporty driving and they are just a premium touring tires - feedback is good enough.
Handling - is great on dry roads, on wet roads I use tires more carefully, especially carefully was used a first set with quite low tread depth, but still - handling was safe enough even in wet conditions.
Wear - I would say it's 10/10, but I had experience with a two different sets, so more deeply:
● First set of tires were 185/65 R15, DOT 2017-2018, had only 3-4 mm tread depth on rear and 5-6 mm on front, but after full summer season and about 8000 km - it was still about 2-3 mm tread depth left on the rear and about 4-5 mm left on the front, that was a late autumn of 2021 and tires were manufactured in 2017 (one tire in 2018, I guess one, from original set, was damaged unrepairable, so previous owner bought one new tire to complete a set), and 3 of 4 were started to show some cracks on sidewalls. Front ones was still usable, but I decided not use any of them at all.
● Second set of tires were bought used too, 195/55 R15, DOT 2020, made in Poland, all tires had around 6.5-7 mm tread depth when I bought them in march of 2023. After two seasons and around 15'000 km I measured tread depth of them a month ago and there are still around 5-5.5 mm left. Because they are assimetric, I rotate them after every summer season, I pick two (with more tread depth) for front axle and two (with less tread depth) for rear axle, I have found that this method works out best to achieve even wear, because front tires on FWD cars, even without any wheel spins, wears out a little bit quicker. Tires are more than a 4 years old now, but I can't see any noticable signs of cracking, so I will continue using them in the future summers.
Comfort - how it was on my first set, it's same and on my second set - they were and they are very quiet and not too hard, I should say - well balanced in terms of hardness and quite comfortable overall.

In my experience - tires are great in dry, good enough in wet, predictible in handling and gives enough road feedback, also very long lasting and not noisy at all. I bought my first set quite accidently and didn't knew what to expect from them, but even 5 years old used tires - were very comfortable, very quiet and quite good overall. So, when I saw my second set, which was only slightly more than 2 years old, with tread depth of almost a new tire - I knew that they will be even more perfect. And honestly - those Michelin's were (and still are) greatest summer tires, that I had in my entire life.

P.S. don't forget to wash your wheels regularly.

I bought a set of used ones in decent condition and i must say that the dry grip was superb! Even on hard cornering at highway speeds the tires have great traction and the car felt secure, I was really impressed about how good they were on dry conditions, didn't expect that coming. They were also very comfortable probably due to the sidewall size (175/65/14) also the braking on dry roads again was good enough. But i was really disappointed about the wet grip of the tires. On high speeds with moderate rain the car didn't felt secure at all and on corners i really had to brake a lot not to get off the road! Also on hairpin turns at slow speeds the tires aquaplaned and it was really scary, unacceptable! Last but not least i was again disappointed a little about the wear as only after 300 km i noticed they were not in the same condition, maybe it was due to the fact they were already used and 4 years old and the treadwear was at the end of its life and they wearing out faster than normal i dont' know for sure...Finally the fuel efficiency was another disappointment as Michelin sells these tires as "energy saver" and i was expecting a better gas mileage from a tire rated C on fuel.
