My favourable review is of the Michelin Energy Saver tyre on sale in the UK and Europe, NOT the A/S all-season version for north American markets (where that version receives poor grades). I have driven many rental cars with different brand name tyres installed: Michelin Energy Savers have been the best. From cold wet morning weather, to country roads with damp leaves and mud; in town and on motorways; also during dry summer heat; they just roll down the road quietly with excellent grip starting from rest, cornering, and under braking. The simple tread pattern puts rubber on the road without drama, squealing or sliding, although if you expect to encounter snow or mud regularly the CrossClimate would probably be a better choice. For regular motoring in spring, summer, autumn and mild-wet winter conditions, these Michelins are hard to beat. Energy Saver? Without even trying, the Peugeot 208 diesel achieved 67mpgUK = 4.2l/100km, while keeping up with traffic and within speed limits. I did not have the car long enough to comment on their life expectancy but did notice much better ride comfort and handling grip after correcting the air pressures to that recommended by the car manufacturer, instead of the random assortment of pressure readings after picking up the car at the airport.
