Michelin Tires are the best!

Comments about Energy Saver:

So here's what we did. Just bought a new Mini Cooper S and they come standard with Run Flat tires of another brand. To "soften the ride" we decided to change the tires for non run flats and bought the Michelin Energy Saver. It's a total different car! Since years we only use Michelin Tires because it's in my opinion just the best tire, not the cheapest one, but they give you the best ride!

Disappointing

Comments about Energy Saver:

These tires are on my 2007 Prius. I expected them to work well in just a couple inches of snow. The first minor snowfall rolled around and I found out that it was like ice skating. These tires replaced my old snows but for me are extremely inadequate. The gas mileage on the also dropped 5 to 7 mpg. Since I purchased these on the recommendation of my Toyota dealer I am very disappointed in this purchase.

1 Based on Michelin internal wet braking test results versus MICHELIN® Energy™ E3A tires.

2 See Michelin Owner's Manual for complete description.

3 Original equipment on vehicles like Mini Cooper, BMW 3 Series and Volkswagen Passat.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

OE [Vehicle Manufacturer] Sidewall Marking: * = BMW, MO = Mercedes-Benz, AO = Audi, A0 S1 = Audi Low Emission
OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: BM = BMW, MB = Mercedes-Benz, VW = Volkswagen, AU = Audi

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

T-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118
