ENERGY SAVER

Good tyres. The rear tyres on my Prius 3 plug-in (2012) are still the original ones. They are not yet worn down to the wear indicator mark but are showing superficial cracking. So i just decided to replace them after 145k (90k UK miles) kilometres and 11 years. Ridiculous mileage for a set of tyres. The front tyres have been replaced after 7 years and unknown (for me) km's. The front tyres were replaced with energy saver again in 2019. Now they are nearing the wear indicator mark so i am replacing them together with the back tyres for a full new set.
I will not be buying them again as they are no longer for sale. I am buying all season tyres instead since the performance of this type of tyre has improved by a lot over the years.
It's important to know that i drive with a large focus on fuel efficiency. I try to avoid braking hard since i use regenerative braking as much as possible, just as long as i am not annoying other traffic. I don't have the adequate knowledge (or experience with other tyres) to fill in most of the scores in step 2, other than that they behaved very well. There is nothing noteworthy exept for the -in my opinion- extreme wear resistance and low rolling resistance.

The tyres came with the car, after 7 years of use and 69500Km (43200 miles) they started to show signs of dry rubber from the wear itself whey would probably last for more than 100000Km (62000 miles), the car was not parked in a garage, but at a relatively sheltered and covered location, for my drive style these are perfect.
On the dry they are perfectly fine, on the wet they never gave me any scares or surprises. When being pushed they don't give away the grip suddenly making them quite predictable.
Being 185/65R15 the comfort is quite good, but road feedback is quite tame, you can feel if they are gripping well, but they are quite cushioned.
I often drive in highway and, while I don't have a comparison, I believe that they helped quite a lot in the fuel consumption, time will tell if the replacements will achieve such consumption.
I replace them with what was available at a reasonable price, sadly these are not longer available and their replacement, the Energy Saver Plus, are not easily available and are really expensive, Primacy 4 are somewhat expensive as well, in the end I went for the Continental UltraContact UC6 as they were quite cheap (when compared with the previous alternatives) and well regarded, hopefully these will last at least 50000Km.

This tire came with stock. I used 4 years 45000km. Threads not wear to much, however after 3 years it is started crack on sides. And after 3 years it started tearing teeths. My last trip, over 2000km it is cracked on threads. Same things happened my father’s car too. So, nice tire but not long last. I order Crossclimate 2 for replacement. I am thinking not use anymore my Blizzak for winter.

OE tyres on Skoda Superb Combi 2015 1.6 TDi GreenLine.
Tyres had a long lifespan, and performed ok, but a lot of that is overshadowed by the dry rotting that these Michelins have.
To make matters worse, the left front tyre got a broken belt in the middle of the thread! Very dangerous stuff! Btw the dot code was from 2014 and this happened in 2020.
I don't like to recommend these, although this is a old tyre replaced by the Energy Saver +, which in turn have kind of been replaced by the e.Primacy. The ES+ is still made in some smaller sizes, but I dont recommend buying them.

The Energy Saver tyre has one significant weak link - poor wet grip. When pulling out onto wet roundabouts or T junctions, I experience very poor grip which is quite concerning at times. In dry conditions the tyre is great and very long lasting. We have done 21k miles and the tyre is now at 3mm. I can't stand them any more so swapping now.
