Can't have everything. Energy-conserving tires tend to be that way. I bought a set of Michelin energy-conserving tires for our delivery vehicle, and the first thing I noticed was the poor braking and low grip limits.
That's why the new Prii (Priuses, whatever... ) don't run on the low-rolling resistance rubber the first-gens did... customers complained about the lack of handling stability.
As long as you're careful, though, they shouldn't be a problem.

August 18th, 2007 07:51 PM #133Just sharing my observation of Michelin Energy MX1 energy conserving tire. Size is 215/65R15. Inflated with nitrogen. Used for around 500 kms 80% highway and 20% city driving.
Very quiet tires compared to my previous Dunlops.
Ride is decent. Did not notice any difference from my old tires. Maybe its a bit better but nothing definitive.
Grip and handling is adaquate. Nothing spectacular. However. I find that my old tires was more sure footed. Hopefully it will get better as it wears a bit. Have not noticed the slipperiness mentioned by Niky and slamtaz. Hope I dont get into a situation where it will crop up.
It seems to save gas. My usual route normally uses up 10 liters of gas. My best is 8 liters but that was no traffic and really good boy drivng. 80kmh tops. This afternoon I used 8.8 liters of gas, but I did a speed run of 175 kmh at star toll way.
Will continue to observe.Last edited by userfriendly; August 18th, 2007 at 07:53 PM.

Na-try ko na mga budget at mas mahal na tyres pero can't tell the difference between them in terms of handling and grip. Pansin ko lang yong mga mamahaling tyres medyo nagtatagal maubos at syempre mas lagay ang loob lalo na pag nasa highway at mabilis ang takbo na di agad basta basta sasabog.
