Independent testing organisation TÜV Sud has shown that Michelin's Energy Saver tyres lend motorists considerable savings over competitors' brands. The Energy Saver proved to have a considerable advantage over rivals in a direct comparison in terms of longevity and fuel consumption; on average, the tyre cost £8.12 less per 1,000 miles in the 205/55R16V size category, and £5.58 less in the 195/65R15H section.
The tests involved running the tyres on identical cars for more than 14,000kms. To ensure fairness, the tyres and drivers were rotated on the vehicles, discounting the role played by these different variables. Earlier results from TÜV Sud tests had shown the tyre to be among the best in terms of wet braking performance, in addition to their money-saving properties.
The head of Michelin car marketing, Thierry Rudloff released this statement following the latest good news for the company from the testing track: "Michelin tyres have always been known in the industry for their long life and low rolling resistance but these test results show the tangible benefits available to motorists in terms of the money that can be saved."
"At a time when people are finding things tough financially, with mortgage and fuel costs rising, fitting a set of Energy Saver tyres can reduce their outgoings and reduce the emission of harmful greenhouse gasses into the environment at the same time."
