Fuel Efficient

The Michelin Energy Saver+ is a more fuel efficient tyre, providing a saving of upto 60 litres of fuel compared to its predecessor (1). Thanks to an inner layer of polymers underneath the tread, rolling resistance is improved and this helps to reduce energy consumption for enhanced fuel efficiency and savings at the fuel pump.

Enhanced Safety

Constructed with an optimised footprint, which features a large contact patch, the Michelin Energy Saver+ is designed to maintain a higher road to rubber ratio when driving. This enables the tyre to achieve excellent gripping capabilities for a safe and high performance drive.

Long Tyre Life
