    Good Points: Grip improved on steep hillsMuch harder to aquaplane on the motorway


    Bad Points: Still some road noise, not sure if it's worthy of complaint


    General comments: Honda civic 1.4 - Michelin Energy E3A tyres did nearly 70000 miles (not km) and grip improved considerably over the previous bridgestones that came with the car in 2001. Much less aquaplaning on the motorways around the UK too.

    Extremely long lasting . 110,000 miles on rears. 55,000 miles on fronts . Passat 1.9tdi 90ps saloon. Good grip gives confidence.
    Brilliant tyres. I will only fit Michelin tyres to my own car for safety, value and longevity.

    I have had Michelin Energy tyres on my astra (54plate) mk4 1.6 16v L.P.G. Duelfuel from new,(michelin recommendation) and I have had to change the front tyres every year (13,500 miles) the rear every 2 years. I get 34 mpg. from L.P.G. (local driving) and the front tyres brake from the road easily when pulling away in damp/wet conditions. I do not drive hard as I have a child in the car most of the time, I'm 49yrs old so not the boy-racer type. They are expensive and I would like to have a front ...

    Bought these when my continental premiuncontact 2's run out of tread. They have absolutely zero grip, making overtaking (even on a straight dry road) and junctions terrifying (though they seem better under braking than acceleration). I haven't noticed an improvement in economy or wear, so just about the only possible plus is that the lack of grip teaches you to drive more smoothly - and can be fun on roundabouts.

    I have been working at a car dealership and have replaced 3 sets on our shuttle ES300 which is at 160,000 kms (100,000 miles). The last set just lasted 30,000 kms, about 18,000 miles. I also have them on my Chrysler 300M special and they do not have any life left after 40,000 kms (25,000 miles). Goodyear ' s Regatta 2 on my Dodge Caravan has 30% life left after almost 90,000 kms (55,555 miles). Michelins could not stand up to the Canadian winter; Goodyear had no problem ploughing through it...

    Good traction, quiet tyre, with very little wear. Since I fitted Michelin Energy Tyres to seven year old Toyota Prius (74,000miles) the miles per gallon has increase by 3 to 5miles to the uk gallon.

    If you seek a hard wearing tyre, and are not too concerned about wet road grip (sensible driving is key here), then the Michelin Energy are great tyres. They may seem costly to purchase but will provide a worthy investment as they last for a very long time indeed.
    Those extra pounds are well spent if durability is top of your requirments list.

    I bought these for a Renault Megane MK 1. (only 20k miles though) I'm a very careful, slow driver. So I thought these would be ideal, until I went round a corner at 35 mph in the wet (downhill left) and the front left tyre locked up.Motorway in the wet feels like your on ice on certain surfaces, in the dry the car feels un-secure, moving beneath you. Under acceleration and braking the car (as in another review) squirms.I eventually bought new tyres (Firestone which were also £5 cheaper) a ...

    I have had Michelin Energy tyres on my Golf 1.4s since I bought it with 14,000 miles on the clock. At 30,000 miles I now need to replace the front at less than 3mm and the backs are just under 5mm.
    I have just started phoning for prices and I was shocked at the cost of these tyres. I had the impression that these were cheap tyres, probably subconciously due to their performance. I rated them at 5 as I did not really have an opinion on them, until I found out the price, now I think they are overa ...

    Michelin Energy E3A fitted to Toyota Avensis estate, lasted 42k (after swapping front & back at 25k). Good wet & dry grip, experienced this many times on M4 when white van man decides to change lane with no warning (difficult to indicate when making a phone call whilst slurping hot coffee I guess). Got a couple of mpg after changing to Energys also. Not the cheapest tyre but will pay back with high miles.

    I got 44,000 miles out of the Michelin Energy tyres, and my car achieves an average of 55 mpg, I have no issues with road holding with these tyres on my VW golf, in wet or dry conditions. Even when the tyres were getting near the minimum, road holding was still good.

    Michelin Energy E3A tyres are designed to be a hard wearing, low noise, low fuel consumption tyre with as little as possible compromise in other respects such as the all-important grip. They achieve this objective in both my personal and our fleet experience.
    Outright grip is less than other tyres but under stress conditions, the Michelins are stable and progressively let go, rather than offer lots of grip but suddenly start to skid.
    Still, drive hard and the Energy tyres are probably not for yo ...

    I have tried many other brands over the years but keep coming back to Michelin as a good all rounder.
    My last car had some geometry problem that no one could find and would eat it's way through front tryes, however once fitted with Michelin tyres it was fine as they seemed to be able to handle the punishment.

    Ridiculously soft sidewalls that you can feel squirm under braking. Seem to require pressure top ups far to often probably due to the stupidly soft side walls. Seem to last reasonably well which is another bad thing as you'll want rid the moment you first drive on them.
    Rubbish and expensive, the cheapest budgets will give better performance.

    Michelin Energy E3A - these were fitted to Skoda Fabia 1.4 as OE. First time I braked in the wet, the wheels locked up and car skidded, since then, I have been very cautious in the wet. Also in the dry the tyres screech on roundabouts at moderate speeds and wheel spins easily from standstill. Never had these problems on other tyres. Cannot believe which? rate these tyres as very good in the wet! They are the worst tyres I have had. Now on Firestone F590. Will review later.
