Michelin Energy

very good adhesion. long life. Safe driving. perfect tire.

I have 68000 miles on these 9 year old OEM tires, no problems to date. They are due to be replaced soon with a set of MXV4-Primacy

Tried these after a pair of continentals lasted only 9,000miles.

They weren't that much dearer but thats me 10,000 miles in and with still 6 mm of tred left, they have proved great value.

There's no beating the continental on grip so you have to remember when powering through the corners that the car will slip and slide like its running on flats but once you've mastered slide control its rather fun to drive.

My 1998 Renault Laguna is fitted with michelin energy tyres. It does over 40 mpg and I contribute some aspect of this fuel economy to the tyres. I cannot quantify this. Road handling and road noise are excellent. The tyres handled two months of snow and ice without ever putting a "foot" wrong last winter.

I checked five stars for the value for money, but they came new on the Citroen hdi 1.6 and I've just ticked over 90,000kms. So although I didn't buy them as such, they've done extraordinarily well, and there's probably another 5,000km left at least but I won't trust them for another winter with kids in the back seat.

They pull out of an aqua plane really well and allow you to steer straight. At 110kph I started to drift but was able to hold it in a fairly deep puddle on the highway I didn't see during a heavy downpour. I also went through another puddle at night about a month later doing 70kph (where someone later hit the same puddle at 90 and hit a tree) and I overcorrected slightly out of surprise, stayed on the road and the tyres had me going right where I aimed.

My husband thinks they're a bit noisy, but I think that's because his own car cuts out more road noise in the cab :)

I am on the verge of finding new tyres and will inquire about the same again without doubt. I am also looking into Michelin PP3, XM1+, and will consider the Falken ZE912. Mainly I want to keep up my excellent fuel economy and long tyre life. It's worth paying a tiny bit extra for a better tyre (and yes, the roundabouts ARE fun on the 'Energy' :) Complete confidence and next to no roll.

Had these on a previous Peugeot 106 and did 35,000 miles without a drama, so fitted then again to our new 106. Excellent grip in the dry and very good in the wet. Much quieter that the budget tyres they replaced even though there was still 4mm of tread left on the budgets. I don't like driving on budget tyres, quality tyres have a much shorter stopping distance. Finally the Mitchelins give excellent MPG.

You have to take my ratings are based on someone who does not drive fast, but do have at least two skiing holidays a year driving to the French Alps - the grip is fantastic and the winter in the uk this year has proven their worth for me never losing traction and we live on top of the North Downs - might consider buying winter tyres but so far these have been great only need chains when the temperatures are around zero in the Alps. Changed front to rear after about 25,000 miles loads of wear left.

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 tyre that will last more than a year. A good point is good road holding in the dry. Bad points are: 1) I have had to change the front tyres every year (13,500 miles) the rear every 2 years. 2) front tyres brake from the road easily when pulling away in damp/wet conditions. 3) They are very expensive.
