Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Eco

Economy tyres are built around low rolling resistance — the engine spends less effort keeping the wheel turning, and that shows up at the pump. Michelin ENERGY SAVER+ is one of them. The price is usually a harder compound: on a wet road you need to brake earlier and carry more margin into corners. In return they cover more kilometres than softer compounds. Leading manufacturers keep narrowing the wet-grip gap with new compounds, but a difference between an economy and a standard tyre is normally still there.

I had the opportunity to buy and drive one back in 2012 when it first came out. It has a good ride on both dry and wet roads. It's comfortable on long trips (1,000+ miles) and durable. It's quiet at speeds above 80 mph. It's a very good ownership experience.

In past 4 years, I had a two sets of Michelin Energy Saver+
First one I had from april to november of 2021, I bought a used set of 4 for only 30 Eur, three tyres were manufactured in 2017 and one in 2018. They were 185/65 R15, two had about 3-4 mm and other two about 5-6 mm tread depth left. I just needed something cheap, for one season on a cheap daily car, because car was on some 20 years old Bridgestone's. So 5 years old Michelin's for 30 Eur, in that case, looked like a far better option.
Second one was bought in early spring of 2023, I have it and use it until this day. Second set are 195/55 R15. I bought a full set for 120 Eur, tyres were made in Poland, was with around 6.5-7 mm tread depth, and without any signs of previous repairs. All in all - looked like a great choice, because for that price, I couldn't buy even any of the cheapest sets. Brand new Michelin Energy Saver+ in this size was around 140 Eur per tyre or around 550€ per set. So 120 Eur for a set of used, but great condition premium tyres? Just perfect.
Dry - they are great for dry roads, feels stable, have plenty of grip.
Wet - I use them more carefully on wet roads, especially after reading tyre tests and people reviews that they are a little weaker in the wet. But in my experience there wasn't any unpleasant moments or aquaplaning on wet roads, even with quite low tread depth (on first set, rear tyres had only about 2-3 mm tread depth left, when I removed them in autumn to replace summer wheels with a winter wheels set), maybe because of precautions and calm driving when raining outside.
Road feedback - knowing fact, that they aren't oriented for super sharp or sporty driving and they are just a premium touring tyres - feedback is good enough.
Handling - is great on dry roads, on wet roads I use tyres more carefully, especially carefully was used a first set with quite low tread depth, but still - handling was safe enough even in wet conditions.
Wear - I would say it's 10/10, but I had experience with a two different sets, so more deeply:
● First set of tyres were 185/65 R15, DOT 2017-2018, had only 3-4 mm tread depth on rear and 5-6 mm on front, but after full summer season and about 8000 km - it was still about 2-3 mm tread depth left on the rear and about 4-5 mm left on the front, that was a late autumn of 2021 and tyres were manufactured in 2017 (one tyre in 2018, I guess one, from original set, was damaged unrepairable, so previous owner bought one new tyre to complete a set), and 3 of 4 were started to show some cracks on sidewalls. Front ones was still usable, but I decided not use any of them at all.
● Second set of tyres were bought used too, 195/55 R15, DOT 2020, made in Poland, all tyres had around 6.5-7 mm tread depth when I bought them in march of 2023. After two seasons and around 15'000 km I measured tread depth of them a month ago and there are still around 5-5.5 mm left. Because they are assimetric, I rotate them after every summer season, I pick two (with more tread depth) for front axle and two (with less tread depth) for rear axle, I have found that this method works out best to achieve even wear, because front tyres on FWD cars, even without any wheel spins, wears out a little bit quicker. Tyres are more than a 4 years old now, but I can't see any noticable signs of cracking, so I will continue using them in the future summers.
Comfort - how it was on my first set, it's same and on my second set - they were and they are very quiet and not too hard, I should say - well balanced in terms of hardness and quite comfortable overall.
In my experience - tyres are great in dry, good enough in wet, predictible in handling and gives enough road feedback, also very long lasting and not noisy at all. I bought my first set quite accidently and didn't knew what to expect from them, but even 5 years old used tyres - were very comfortable, very quiet and quite good overall. So, when I saw my second set, which was only slightly more than 2 years old, with tread depth of almost a new tyre - I knew that they will be even more perfect. And honestly - those Michelin's were (and still are) greatest summer tyres, that I had in my entire life.
P.S. don't forget to wash your wheels regularly.

★★★☆☆

Very dangerous on wet roads. Lost control because of aquaplaning while driving with normal speed on a relative open corner of a mountain road, resulting to a light crash thanks to the low speed I was driving in that occasion. The tires are about 50% of their initial tread depth. Most of the tires I have used would have made the corner easily at a considerably higher speed, but unfortunately Michelin's Energy Saver Plus failed in the most ridiculous way!
It's behavior, while good on dry roads, is really unpredictable on wet.
A real disgrace for Michelin. Avoid it at all costs if you drive on wet roads, for your own safety!

OE on a 2015 Citroën C3 1.2 PureTech.
Not the best Michelins imo
The big problem with these is the dry rotting of the whole tyre. It's pretty bad.
Grip is normal, as expected from a Michelin.
I can't recommend them because of the dry rotting problem.

Do you drive on these tyres?
