Michelin Energy Saver A/S Review

What happens when you combine a bunch of Michelin’s manufacturing technologies? The answer is simple: you get the Michelin Energy Saver A/S.

This tire ensures first-rate comfort, durability, and an extended tread life all the while guaranteeing decreased fuel consumption. The Energy Saver A/S is a special touring tire that promotes superb performing capabilities in all weather.

Here at Priority Tire, we offer a wide range of sizes to suit all of your passenger vehicle’s needs, all at competitive prices that will not break your wallet.

Fuel Efficiency

Michelin developed its Green X technology with the sole purpose of providing fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly tires to the market. This technology succeeds in lowering the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions throughout the tire’s lifetime. Only Michelin’s most fuel-efficient models are branded with the green X symbol.

The technology optimizes the tire’s overall weight, internal structure, tread pattern and tire and tread compound and this special combination reduces the rolling resistance affecting the tire during the drive. The rolling resistance is the external driving force that influences the tire and it determines the amount of energy (fuel) the vehicle needs to burn in order to maintain the tire’s motion. As a pressure, or rolling resistance, is eased off the tires, the vehicle is capable of performing to its highest capability in an environmentally friendly manner.

The Energy Saver A/S is one of the tires that has received Michelin’s Green X symbol for its fuel-conscious performing capability. The tire saves money while in transit as it significantly lowers the fuel intake of the vehicle.

Lengthened Tread Life

The Energy Saver A/S comes with an astounding 55,000 (H and V speed rated sizes) and 65,000 (T speed rated sizes) mile treadwear warranty. This is achieved by utilizing Michelin’s Green X and MaxTouch Construction technologies.

The lowered rolling resistance of the Green X technology eases the pressure off the tire. In this manner, the technology slows the tread wear rate down. As the driving forces do not affect the tire in such a harsh fashion, the tire’s tread life is extended greatly.

The special MaxTouch Construction ensures even treadwear throughout the tire’s lifetime. This special technology optimizes the tire shape and the carcass design to guarantee equal pressure distribution of the driving pressure during the drive. In other words, it maximizes the tire’s road contact area, which manages to evenly spread the forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking out across the entire tire surface. This actively avoids the formation of irregular tread wear across the tread area, greatly extending the tread life and the tire’s usability.

Comfort Above All Else

Michelin used the ComfortControl technology in this model’s manufacture. This technology significantly reduces the road noise and vibration felt while the tires are in motion. The ComfortControl technology uses precision manufacturing which enhances the tire’s uniformity at all times, while also optimizing the tread design.

The Energy Saver A/S offers reduced road noise levels. The special computer-optimized tread design features closed shoulder patterns and a variable pitch phase shift that negate the road noise levels. The closed shoulder design prevents airwaves from entering the tire’s footprint and coming into contact with the tread elements. The variable pitch phase shift, on the other hand, manages to cancel out the generated road and tread pattern noise with the sound frequency it creates during the drive. This combination achieves a quiet, road noise-free performance.

The optimized road contact of the MaxTouch Construction and the maintained uniformity of the tire shape improve the driving comfort. They, along with the internal structure’s steel belts, maintain the optimal tire shape at all times, which allows the tire to closely follow the road surface. This allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, which successfully decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin by the passengers. As a result, the tire promotes a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

Handling and Controllability

All tires must have a quick and precise steering responsiveness and a stabilized structure to guarantee a safer controllability and performance. The Energy Saver A/S also strives to provide an improved control to the driver, who can, in turn, confidently maneuver the vehicle.

The optimal ribbed tread design and the tire’s constant road contact improve its steering responsiveness and driving stability greatly. In other words, the tire’s better contact with the road surface boosts the steering precision and response time to the driver’s commands, while it secures the tire shape against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tire features a reinforced double steel belt internal structure that prevents the deformation of the optimal tire shape, which increases the driving stability further. The better control ensures a safer year round performance.

All Weather Performance

All season tires are in high demand on the tire market and all manufacturers aim to develop the perfect model that is capable of easily conquering all weather conditions. Michelin is on top of its game with the Energy Saver A/S that promotes a secure performance throughout the year.

The Energy Saver A/S features a silica-improved tire compound, which maintains its flexibility all year round. Including in colder temperature winter weather, the tire ensures a first-rate road grip. The semi-asymmetric ribbed tread design enhances the model’s road contact and performance in all weather situations. Furthermore, the tread design’s optimal siping detail firmly grips the road surface in dry, wet, and winter conditions.

The tire also resists hydroplaning, which is a dangerous road hazard that causes the vehicle to lose its road contact and skid. The tire features wide circumferential and smaller lateral grooves that disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. This enables the tire to keep its road contact and avoid hydroplaning, offering a safer and secure driving experience.
