New Favorite, but no 22" dia tires for 14" wheels.

My last set of Michelin Defenders Green-X tires lasted 60,000 miles and 7 years. This time I chose Michelin Energy Saver A/S Green X tires, for my now rarely used, 2003 Toyota Sienna Van. The van is so much nicer to drive with new tires, again quiet, smooth, comfortable in all weather conditions and MPG is up, especially on 45-55 mph zone backroads +5 mpg. This is my new favorite tire! The van gets only 19 mph around town (27 mpg now on the back roads with A/S tires), and with all the kids gone, I decided on a smaller daily driver I found a used 2000 Honda Insight 5sp. The factory tires it are are VERY NOISY, they've worn out quite quickly and were chosen for the car 18 years ago, i.e. old technology. Traction is ok, but not stellar, so I came here first, given the Energy Saver A/S MPG gains and ride on my Van. The factory Insight tire is a 165/65/14 that weighs 12 lbs, has a 22.5 inch diameter and is mounted on a streamlined 10.5 lb factory wheel. On the flats the car has gotten over 100 mpg. Around town, on these hills, it has gets a steady 58.5mpg over the last 4283 miles. The size and weight of tires, the high gearing, a super efficient hybrid engine, low coefficient of drag of the car, and how the car is driven all adds up to a great MPG. But I want a quiet, even more efficient ride, like I now have with the Energy Saver A/S tires on the van. The problem is the smallest lightest Energy Saver A/S is a 175/65/15 tire that weighs 15 lbs, has a 24" diameter and mounts on a 15" wheel, coming from 12lbs, 22.4" dia on a 14" special streamlined wheel. I've sourced new 7.7 lb 15" non-streamlined wheels that will offset the extra 3 lb Energy Saver A/S tire weight. Yet the extra tire diameter of +1.5 inches, 165/65/14 to 175/65/15, not only messes with the speedometer and mpg gauge, the car is geared so high from the factory, that especially in first, it will be even more difficult to take off on the often wet steep uphills where I live. I'm just wondering if there will be a 22" dia, 11-13 lb Energy Saver A/S tire for 14" wheels any time soon (nothing like that in the Defender series either), or do I sadly need to buy a set of 165/65/14s from the other guys? Again, If I have to drive, I want the best MPG. The Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires are the BEST tires I have ever owned, for all around comfort, wear, quiet ride and daily driving, and a BIG PLUS to MPG, which saves not only gas and money, but reduces my CO2 toll on the Global Climate Catastrophe.

Great tires, except…

These are the factory tires on my 21 Bolt, and they’re pretty good tires, good wear pattern, etc., even at 24k miles. The only real complaint that I have is the SelfSeal. It doesn’t like to hold up very well during these hot Texas summers, and have found myself having to put plugs in about a day or two after the initial puncture is removed. I think the SelfSeal is a great short term solution, but it definitely doesn’t last.

Poor quality, mysterious slow leaks

These came with my new car, and they are without a doubt the least reliable tires I've ever had. Within 22,000 miles, two tires developed irreparable damage too close to the sidewalk to repair. The issue showed up as a slow leak with no visible signs of damage. One distributor, who said Michelin wouldn't cover it under warranty, told me that this is a common and inexplicable problem. When these remaining tires have reached the end of their usefulness, I will replace them with another brand and never buy Michelin again.

Worst Michelin I've owned

I've used Michelin tires for 30 years and have never had an issue, until I had a set of Energy Energy Saver tires came on my 2018 Silverado when purchased new. I've never had a tire with tread "chunk" before, but 2 of the 4 had chunking all the way around the tread. Had this been my first set of Michelin's, I would never by another Michelin tire. I went back to LTX M/S at 40,000 and expect the Michelin performance I'm used to. Noticed an immediate improvement with the Defender LTX M/S.

Not The Best Michelin I have owned

My 2018 Ford Escape came with the Energy Saver A/S as OEM Equipment. I have owned Michelin Tires since the 80’s. When my OEM tires need to be replaced I always use Michelin. This Escape is also my 4th Escape since 2013. The 2018 rides the most unsettled of all the Escapes I have owned. I had a shake in one tire from the beginning, had it balanced on a road force balancing machine and they determined a flat spot on the same tire. The tires make a whopping noise as you go down the road. They have been rotated 3 times in 19000 miles and are wearing evenly. I have the Michelin Defender T&H on another vehicle I own and Find these tires to be fantastic. Smooth and quiet. I strongly recommend the Defender T&H vs the Energy Saver A/S

NOT Safe IMO and experience

Came with our brand new 2023 Bolt EUV, From day one, tires slide all over, no grip, even slide to a stop if have to hit breaks hard. These were so scary on wet surface roads that I could not even bring myself to take them on the hwy in the rain. I was afraid they would hydroplane badly and definitely not keep me on the pavement for safety, considering the way it handles at 35 to 45 mph surface roads. And they have NO give, you feel everything riding on these tires, even the tiniest road imperfection. I now have 14k on them and definitely not wearing as a 65k mile tire either.

Bought this product again

This is the second set of Energy Savers A/S on my Ford Fusion Hybrid. They are a great tire for a great car. I will say the down side has been the wear mileage. However, it would have gone to the warrantee limit if I ran it to the "wear bars". They have always given a great ride. Quiet and smooth running. Makes the car handle very well. Do rotate the tires faithfully, however. And have the balance checked every 15,000 miles. Tire pressure must be checked ever 3 mos. Great tires!

I've been well pleased with my purchase

I have been well pleased with my Michelin tires on my car. They give a really smooth, quiet ride. They handle well in wet conditions and when braking, they stop on a dime. They perform well on curvy, hilly roads as well. I would recommend Michelin to anyone needing new tires for any purpose.

Great scott these tires stop!

I love my Michelin tires. Why. 1. great gas mileage. 2. Great stopping power on wet roads. 3.Good traction in snow. 4. price. Thanks Michelin for making a great product. P.S. I have had your tires on almost all of my cars and trucks in the past. When the original tires went bad I replaced with Michelin. My first experance with your tires was on a ford work truck about twenty years ago. I would put 70 to 80 thousand miles on a year which ment replacing them every year. But the Michelin tires lasted over two. That is the reason I started using your brand. Thanks again. James Heady.

Great tire - lived up to all my expectations

2014 Camry LE - came with 205/65R16 OEM Michelin Energy Saver tires. Just under 65K miles at this point and the tires are doing great. No issues whatsoever. Rotated once a year when I take the car in for an oil change. I've kept them properly inflated (mostly just checking the air pressure - it has been a rare occasion when I've had to add a pound or two). They obviously are worn at this point but not below legal tread depth. I'm not quite ready to replace them yet but I'm planning on buying another set of the same Michelin Energy Saver tire when I do.
