Michelin Energy Saver

Bought my car when it was 2 years, 11 Months old and about 25k miles, the tyres had never been rotated, so got the garage to swap them round at the time I bought it.
Living in Jersey, only do short runs and max speed of 40mph,getting nearly 40mpg over here which I think is great.
Have not done much motorway milage with this, but all seemed fine when I had a w/e to from Weymouth to London and back about 3 months ago.
Lost grip only twice in Jersey coming out of junction in raid, but kwen if was losing grip,so so the power off!
Now done over 28k miles and front 2 tyres still good.
Back 2 need replacing soon.
What to do? Do I get 2 new Michelin's @ £64 each(none in stock!)or get 2 Barum 2's @ £46 each?
I like both brands - I have Barum's on my wife's Honda Jazz and these are fine, but a bit noisey, but don't know which!!
eek

have just had 4 new tyres fitted, never had Michelin before and thought I'd go for the best this time. I decided to have them Nitrogen filled at Quick-fit to give them the best possible chance of showing their full potential. I wasn't disapointed, although I have only done a couple of hundred miles in them the car has a new lease of life. It feels and responds 100% better than it did, Quick-fit say its a combination of the Michelin and the Nitrogen that has transformed my 307 from a bumpy little mad mouse to a luxury safe handling high end car. I will comment on the mpg as soon as they have a few more miles under their belt. I would recommend the Nitrogen in the tyres to anyone and at only £1 per tyre at Quick-fit its well worth trying it.

Great tyre. Even seems to give good mpg. The only downside is the haggling/shopping needed to get the purchase price down to a reasonable level.

Had these fitted on a new shape Berlingo van (more like MPV than van in style) when bought new. At just over 20000 fitted a new set of 4. IMHO they do reduce fuel consumption, especially on longer trips, but it is the only really good point. I am not impressed by their wear, they get very noisy when more than 50% worn, but absorb road bumps well. Dry grip is good, but wet grip is less impressive AND DO NOT TRY TO USE THEM ON SNOW AND ICE! I had a new set fitted in October and I couldn't move off in snow in January.
I will look for a different make next time.

Changed to Michelan after only 16,000 miles due to fast wear from the original Continentals.
These tires now done 29,000 miles just about in need of replacement. Rear tires stll just OK at 45,000 miles.

I bought these Michelin Energy Saver tyres when I had 21000 miles in the clock 4 years ago and now at 46000 miles I`ve to change them. I used these mostly in London, sometimes on the motorway.
I can`t really compare with other tyres because these are the first what I have, but I`ve checked the other`s reviews and some tyres are running 30-40 000 miles, so mine run just 25000. :(
The grip in dry and wet conditions are very good, sometimes I had to break in the last moments and I stopped!
I can hear the tyre nose about up to 40 mph, over that the engine and the wind noise louder.
On the motorway at 60mph I can do 60mpg (unloaded, no passenger, summer time).

I bought these tyres from the only place that was open on a bank holiday weekend and was told they were the best they had in.
Dry grip was superb, as was the braking in both wet and dry, especially on the motorways that I was using a lot at that time.
Then I found that driving the local town & countryside roads showed a jeckyll-and-hyde like nature to them. On greasy roundabouts and corners (some on 70mph roads) the grip would suddenly evaporate, leaving the car sliding sideways, even while other traffic at the same speed kept control.
They may be comfortable and they may last forever but I'm not willing to risk an accident for them; swapping to a full set of Falken 542s in the hope of a bit more control...

I would reconmend these tyres to anyone, i purchased these tyres on 28'000 i'm now on 59'000, they are only half worn, average 15'000 miles per year.
I have total trust with tyres wet or dry and would'nt use anything else.
When i first purchased my saxo it had budget tyres on the fronts i found the sterring to be extremley heavy , my husband who works for Mitchelin reconmended the energy savers to me, since having these fitted the sterring is a lot lighter.
I would give these tyres 10/10.
