Michelin Energy Saver Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 109 reviews

Across 109 reviews, the Michelin Energy Saver is praised for exceptional tread life, low rolling resistance/fuel economy, and generally low noise/comfort, making it a strong choice for calm, high-mileage driving. However, many users report weak wet/cold grip especially as the tire ages or nears 3mm tread, and frequent age-related cracking/hardening, with some noting soft/fragile sidewalls. Dry grip and predictability are typically adequate but not sporty. Overall sentiment is positive, with durability and efficiency as standout strengths and wet-weather/ageing performance the main drawbacks.

For fuel saving, it did great job. However, not fun, grip and feedback not good. Noisy after 10k.

I have these tires for 3 years now on my summer wheels. They are ok for most drivers, but they are quite bad on wet surfaces when it’s below 15 Celsius. They also feel a bit unsecure at higher speeds (over 160 kph - 100 mph). My Skoda Octavia with Goodyear Eagle F1 gsd3 feels a lot better at high speeds than the 3series with Michelin Energy Saver. The fuel economy compared to the winter tires that I use (Goodyear ultragrip 8) is not so different. Probably 0.2 l/100km less on the Energy Saver. During colder mornings the back of my car goes sideways quite fast if I accelerate a bit harder. Conclusion: I will go for other tires next season.

It is the worst tire that I have ever used. It came with VW Polo stock, and I ve changed them Continental All Season. Michelin Energy saver is especially bad on wet roads in both ways handling and braking. I do not recommend this tire

Tires are quite good, they last more than other brands, but tread deterioration tend to appear after 50% of the usable tire.

I am driving Toyota Grande 2015 model 1.8cvti, I had Michelin Xm2 before and drove upto 85000 kms, after having feedback about the tires i decided to switch to michelin every savor plus and i ordered it, i was surprised the experience that there was no new tire feel in it. i can feel even low bumps on the road plus noise was too loud for me adding another kind of roaring sound. i checked the alignment and then checked them again but noise was there. I am not so satisfied from them i returned it to the shop and now thinking to move to Continental CC6 or Yokohama advan db.

Positives: very economical, good handling and feedback, low noise, good stability at high speed, but these are not sporty tires, if pushed hard in the corners they will squeal and loose grip if the clutch is dropped too sudden.
Also, abysmal on unpaved rods with a little water and mud on them.
Definitely excellent tires for economical driving on good roads.

Will not be using these Michelin Energy Saver Tires again !
Although the handling is good, the fuel performance is very poor
Not surprising as it's rated ‘E' but how can energy saver tires have a fuel rating of ‘E' ?

Will swap for Michelin CrossClimates plus with a ‘A' fuel rating next

Even on a hot summer afternoon, you won't hear these tires screech while taking a sharp U-turn. My set of tires lasted for 80,000KMs, still had some thread left but they had become hard. The grip with these tires on a cold winter morning is not very good. However, comfort level is good.

The dry grip is good, in the wet the tire can let go quite quickly. The main issue is that all 4 tires developed tiny cracks on the edges after just over 2 years and 15k miles. The front two were really bad so it was MOT failure. So with 5mm front/6mm rear they had to be replaced.

The tires were fitted in early March 2017and the results were very good. Superb dry and wet grip (tarmac and gravel), fuel economy is great and the noise is low. Very good summer tires overall, I think they have left about ~15000 miles. Would recommend and buy again.
