Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

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.

Customers Say

Customer surveys indicate the Michelin Energy Saver A/S excels in treadwear, with many customers praising its long-lasting performance and durability. Ride comfort receives strong praise for a quiet, smooth experience across various road conditions. However, winter traction shows mixed results, with lower scores (often 4-6) highlighting reduced confidence in icy or deep snow conditions. Wet traction earns consistent positive feedback (7-9 range) for reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance. Dry traction is solidly rated, with most customers noting dependable handling and stability for everyday driving. While winter performance may lag, the tire delivers well-rounded all-season capability focused on comfort and longevity.

...Driving hard, I have yet to have the car under-steer at speeds in curves 25 - 35 over psl...

These were OEM on '12 Camry hybrid. I currently have 55K on the tires and 5/32 tread remains. Mileage is consistently 39 highway and low 40's in town. They have gotten a little noisier with more miles but still have a good ride. Driving hard, I have yet to have the car under-steer at speeds in curves 25 - 35 over psl. If I keep the car, going to get another set.

...The handling was amazing on these tires and the ride was comfortable and quiet...

These tires came standard on my 2001 Honda Accord. I LOVED THEM!!!!! These were some of the best tires I have ever owned. I swaped them out after 60,000 miles because the tires were getting up there in age, but they definately had a lot of life left in them. The handling was amazing on these tires and the ride was comfortable and quiet. These are an excellent tires. I highly recommend them.

...These tires absorb minor road so well that you get a gliding on a cloud type feeling. And these tires have such low rolling resistance that you barely need to touch the gas pedal to maintain freeway speeds...

In my experience, the Energy Saver A/S is the smoothest, quietest and most fuel efficient tire available for a family sedan like a Camry LE. These tires somehow absorb minor road so well that you get a "gliding on a cloud" type feeling. And these tires have such low rolling resistance that you barely need to touch the gas pedal to maintain freeway speeds. Tread life is excellent too if tires are front cross rotated (on a FWD car) every 5,000 miles.

I have nearly 57000 miles on the tires and they will easily make 60,000 before needing to be replaced... I'm not sure how you can beat getting 60,000 miles out of a quiet tire with no traction issues...

I have a 2013 Fusion Hybrid with the OEM Michelins. I have nearly 57000 miles on the tires and they will easily make 60,000 before needing to be replaced. I live in northern Utah, so I've driven in snow and had no trouble. These tires have been fantastic. I'm not sure how you can beat getting 60,000 miles out of a quiet tire with no traction issues. No, I don't race this car, or drive aggressively, it's a hybrid with a wimpy 2 liter motor. For what the car is, and what the tires are expected to do, I can't be happier with these tires.

...After 6 years of combined city/highway driving I plan to replace them this fall for better winter traction... Pleased with the tread wear mileage which is in keeping with the 480 rating and my expectations.

These Michelin "ENERGY Saver"are OEM tires on 2010 Fusion SEL current tread depth is 4 - 5/32 at 51,200 miles. After 6 years of combined city/highway driving I plan to replace them this fall for better winter traction. Extremely well pleased how the car and tires handle in snow, very confident driving in these circumstances. General all weather use find the tires quiet and the car handles competently under all conditions. Pleased with the tread wear mileage which is in keeping with the 480 rating and my expectations.

...Handles rated loads with ease and tread wears excellent with an 8000 lb truck on top...

Equipped stock in 2018 Silverado 3500HD dually. Not very impressive to look at but quiet ride. Handles rated loads with ease and tread wears excellent with an 8000 lb truck on top. I rotate according to OE recommendation. Freeway driving at 80 MPH is quiet, smooth, and predictable.

Recently had to buy a single tire to replace a damaged front tire.

...Snow traction is very bad in deep snow. I don't drive this car in snow any more.

Tires go flat quickly if low. No time to pull over before tire is ruined. Happened twice. Never experienced that before on any other brand. Could be because it's such a low profile tire. Snow traction is very bad in deep snow. I don't drive this car in snow any more.

This should be classified as a 3-season tire, that's how bad in light snow/ice. We live at the top of a moderate hill, and the car simply refuses to go up the hill and just sits and spins. These are the worst tires I've ever had in the snow, including speed rated BFG Comp T/A VR4's I had on an old Mustang GT...

This should be classified as a 3-season tire, that's how bad it is in light snow/ice. We live at the top of a moderate hill, and the car simply refuses to go up the hil and just sits and spins. These are the worst tires I've ever had in the snow, including speed rated BFG Comp T/A VR4's I had on an old Mustang GT. Other than that, it's a good tire on dry roads, and handles well in wet conditions as well. So if you live in the Deep South, it may be a nice tire. For those of us that live in the mountains and need something that will perform in a few light snow and ice storms a year, it is unacceptable.

...Snow is OK starting off straight, but turning is such an adventure, I'm seriously considering not taking the car out in slush, snow or ice...

Standard equipment on the C-MAX, this tire has broadly differing reviews by different car models. I seem to be one of those who has no problem on dry roads, but wet or snow or ice is a disaster. Rain decreases grip 20% or more around curves and stopping distance. Snow is OK starting off straight, but turning is such an adventure, I'm seriously considering not taking the car out in slush, snow or ice. Could it be the added battery weight in the back of the C-Max Energi causing lack of front-wheel drive grip? I'll only find out after I replace these tires. Otherwise I'm happy with the car
