I have these tyres fitted to a Peugeot 307 1.4HDI and a Mk6 Golf Bluemotion. So obviously purchased for ECO. Compared to Conti TS380 winter rubber, the Energy savers do cut fuel use a bit; difficult to be more accurate because cold and warm weather fuel use varies too. The ride on the winter tyres is more forgiving, noise similar and dry handling also much the same although with a more 'rubbery' feel on the Contis. The Michelins look like lasting for 40K miles; grip in the wet falls off a cliff once down to 3mm of tread. On my Golf, the Michelins were lethal in cold weather. I slid out of a garage forecourt one frosty morning, thankfully at walking pace. The car would also slide when idling as I stopped to open a garage door. On the Pug, however, they were OK. So maybe batches vary? My wife prefers the Conti's and hates the summer swap. She feels the Michelins deliver too firm a ride and increased vibration over 50mph.
