\>> 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.

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.

Often, hybrid and alternative fuel drivers devote hours of research before purchasing or leasing their eco-fuel sipper. But when it comes time to replace the original tires, they generally take the easier path. They follow the tire shop’s recommendations, slap on the new tires, and they are back to slowing up traffic in the fast lane. Tires are all the same, after all…or are they?

Before the rubber meets the road, a little extra attention to the details will reap the rewards of low rolling resistance, better traction, improved handling, longevity and, potentially, an increase in fuel economy. Check out our review of the Michelin Energy Saver All-Season tires to see if they are the best tires for your hybrid or EV.

What is the Structure of Michelin Energy Saver Tires?

The overall design goal of the Energy Saver All-Season tire is to maximize fuel economy without compromising tread life or safety.

Michelin’s Energy Saver construction—plus a unique silica-based tread compound—keep the tire running cooler to try and achieve better fuel efficiency. The tread design is symmetric and features a siped, independent tread block. This pattern is responsible for the Energy Saver’s predictable handling, max stopping performance, and traction on dry or wet surfaces.

When the roads become soaked with rain, circumferential and lateral grooves direct water through the tread design to enhance wet traction and resist hydroplaning.

Michelin’s Comfort Control Technology reduces vibration and road noise. The internal structure of the tire includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide on top of a polyester cord casing to bring together strength, comfort, and efficiency.

First and Long-Term Impressions

For this long-term test, Michelin sent us a set of their Energy Saver tires to replace the Bridgestone Ecopia tires on our 2011 Toyota Prius. Even though the outgoing tires had a little more than 30,000 miles, they still had lots of tread life left in them. Unfortunately, they were cupped and howled horribly at anything above 40 mph.

Once we got the new set of Michelin tires installed, all that horrible road noise disappeared. Admittedly, the degree of cabin insulation in a third-gen Prius Two has a lot of room for improvement, but it was nice to have the decibel levels brought down to a much more reasonable degree when driving around.

Initial impressions after the first couple hundred miles are pretty close to how Michelin Energy Savers perform after 7,000 miles. Ride quality and comfort are noticeably better over the Bridgestone Ecopia tires. A pleasant surprise was the plush ride—not squishy—courtesy of the tire’s sidewall construction.

We discovered that the Energy Saver All-Season tires were introduced to the North America market over nine years ago, but they are still a top choice for compact sedans and cars geared towards high fuel economy. In our case, the average mpg improved one mpg since changing over to the Michelins.

TFLcar’s Take

The Michelin Energy Saver All-Season tire has proven itself by delivering remarkable fuel efficiency and reliable traction without compromising comfort or road noise. After five months and 7,000 miles, we are impressed by the tire’s quiet, long-lasting ride backed by a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty. Low rolling resistance, superb dry traction, and a quiet, plush ride all come together to make it one of the top picks in the premium touring market.

We’ll follow up with another report after 15,000 miles of driving and how the tires fare in California’s rainy season. Stay tuned to TFLcar.com for more updates!
