The Energy Saver A/S is Michelin North America's most fuel-efficient All-Season Passenger car tire developed for the drivers of hybrid and fuel-efficient passenger cars that want to exploit their vehicle's fuel economy without abandoning dry, wet and wintertime traction. Representing the forefront of Michelin Green X technology, Energy Saver A/S tires can enhance vehicle operating efficiency and environmental impact by reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while delivering year-round traction, even in light snow.

Expanding on the technologies of the Michelin Energy Saver summer tires introduced in Europe during 2007, the Energy Saver A/S All-Season Passenger car tire introduced in North America during 2009 offers exceptionally low rolling resistance at or below the levels offered by its European summer tire counterpart.

The Energy Saver A/S features Michelin's EnergySaver Construction combined with a unique silica-based tread rubber that helps improve engine fuel efficiency by keeping the tire cooler. This compound is molded into a symmetric design that features siped, independent tread blocks to combine predictable handling, no compromise stopping performance and all-season traction without trading fuel efficiency. Circumferential and lateral grooves direct water through the tread design to help resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction.

Michelin Comfort Control Technology uses computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing to reduce vibrations and road noise to keep the vehicle quiet. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide on top of a polyester cord casing to combine strength, efficiency and comfort.

*Specific sizes featuring Green X technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

When Round and Black Becomes Lean and Green(04:18)

Can eco-friendly, low rolling resistance tires make a difference in fuel economy, driving costs and the environment?

Tire Rack arranged to get a small fleet of the 2009 2nd generation Toyota Prius hybrids to test low rolling resistance tires. The Goodyear Integrity O.E. tire was the baseline we compared to other tire choices for the Prius. Tires tested included eco-friendly aftermarket tires for hybrid and fuel-efficient compact cars as well as the Goodyear Assurance ComforTred which prioritizes ride comfort and long wear over fuel efficiency.

...The tire is great for efficiency and decent on dry roads...

A common theme with Chevy Bolts on the factory tire. The tire is great for efficiency and decent on dry roads. The dealership had replaced the tires to resell it so they were brand new. Rain was fine, not the best traction but not the worst I've experienced.

When it started to snow my opinion on the tires dropped drastically. 8" of powdery snow it handled with some slippage on accelerating but braking and cornering handled as expected. As soon as it started melting, the slush was very dangerous to drive in. The worst single incident: driving 15 mph on a slight downhill with 1/2" of slush. Even slight braking was locking up all 4 wheels and slid 50 feet to a stop sign. At this same stop sign with traction control on, I was unable to move from a stop. Turned off traction control and maintained gentle throttle until the wheels could clear the slush to get a tiny bit of traction to get moving again.

I replaced with crossclimate2s and I have not had to worry anymore. The 15% range loss is worth the safety.

Those are great for dry weather. If you are in a warm State those tire are what you need. I'm in Pennsylvania so next time I will consider something more climate oriented like Michelin Defender for example. Good tires though.

...Since 2012 the Mustangs ride, handling and comfort have been excellent, making driving the car a lot of fun. Steering was spot on and predicable.

This review is for New - Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires - installed on a 2012 - 305 HP V6 Mustang.

When I purchased my 2012 Mustang, Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires came with the car as OEM by Ford.
Since 2012 the Mustangs ride, handling and comfort have been excellent, making driving the car a lot of fun. Steering was spot on and predicable. In 2023 the tires were 11 years old with tread still left but due to their age I decided to purchase new ones.

During my decision to purchase new tires I read a lot of reviews on Tire Rack.
After a lengthy period of time, researching tires, I decided that because the Original Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires were so good and I was very satisfied I saw no reason to try an other brand. If I had tried an other brand of tire and I did not like them, I would be stuck with a tire that I would not be happy with.

The new Michelin tires are great in the summer with a predictable limits when cornering at high speeds or braking.
I have never driven the car in snow and just a few times in wet weather where the tire traction was good.
I have a Volvo for winter driving also equipped with Michelin tires.

I would like to add that I have owned over 11 makes of cars and have been driving for 58 years.
The great ones were Lotus, Cougar and Firebird. Others were Volvo, Spitfire, T-Bird, and with every car experience
came trying a great number of tire brands and in thousands of driving conditions and situations.

...Handling, comfort and road noise is all good as well...

These are the best set of tires I've ever owned on a vehicle. They currently have 50,000 miles on them and still have a decent amount of life left. I get them rotated every other oil change which helps, but these have lasted a lot longer than any other tire I've had. Handling, comfort and road noise is all good as well. Highly recommend this tire!

...These tires provide a smooth ride, very good high speed corning and breaking traction and good gas mileage ( 28-30 mpg at 80mph / 24-26 in town)...

This tire is the 2nd set of OEM tires on my 6 speed automatic 2012 Mustang V6. At 72,000 the original OEM tires were 10 years old and although there was lots of tread left, the rubber was getting hard at which time the car would slightly slide the rear end on dry pavement when accelerating and turning at the same time. Because this tire was OEM (Original Equipment from the Manufacture) ( I'm sure they tested many types before equipping Mustangs with this tire) and because I had put on over 70,000 trouble free fun miles on them without any problems, I felt there was no need for me to experiment by purchasing a different brand. These tires provide a smooth ride, very good high speed corning and breaking traction and good gas mileage (28-30 mpg at 80mph / 24-26 in town). I check the inflation (36lbs.) once every two weeks using a calibrated air gauge.

When driving in the country the car is very predictable. If I make a fast turn the tries tires stick. Ninety percent of my driving is around town the other ten percent is on the highway. I am very pleased with these tires. Every time I drive I am trusting my life to these tires.

...I have over 55,000 miles on these, I'm a little ashamed of myself to say this, but I've never rotated the tires either... I don't know how I'm getting the miles I'm getting out of these, but zero complaints here in these tires...

A lot, and I mean a lot of people dislike these tires on their Chevy Bolt. Nearly every review I've read bash this tire's traction and wear. Whelp, I'm here to be in the minority and say that these tires have lasted well over what anyone could fathom and have done pretty well in the category of traction (wet and dry) when you take into consideration the amount of torque you see from EVs. I have over 55,000 miles on these, I'm a little ashamed of myself to say this, but I've never rotated the tires either. I bought the car new, with 8 miles on it, and no one has driven the car but me. I drive it like it's a go kart with full pedal acceleration in most cases. I don't baby the car or the tires, or the brakes... I don't know how I'm getting the miles I'm getting out of these, but zero complaints here in these tires. I'm doing some tire research because I'm thinking I'll need tires in about 3 months or so, and it's honestly going to be a tough choice to go to another brand/tire given these have been so good to me.

...I recommend Michelin tires for their thread wear which lasts longer than other brands so high price is justified...

Easy financing was main reason I ordered. The installation provider is the one you have to watch out for in terms of service, pricing, availability and quality. If you want new valve stems you might have to tell installers and additional charge. Ordering was easy and straightforward. I recommend Michelin tires for their thread wear which lasts longer than other brands so high price is justified. Goodyear has same durability and is tougher for offroad or flats. Goodyear is a little bit less traction and comfort than Michelin. Remember to check alignment yearly and tire pressure once a month. If you see a low tire fix it immediately because it’s usually a puncture from something sharp.
