Another tyre test honour for Michelin Energy Saver +

Following on from its highly rated performance in the ADAC summer tyre test, Michelin’s Energy Saver + has claimed a top ranking in another German auto publication. Gute Fahrt’s summer tyre test awarded the tyre top place with a "very good -" rating overall. Comparing twelve 205/55R16 W tyres on a Volkswagen Touran, Gute Fahrt judged the Energy Saver + to deliver the best all-round performance in wet and dry conditions.

The magazine’s tyre testers noted that “only the French brand managed to achieve ‘very good’ performance in both wet braking and rolling resistance”. The tyre also achieved good notes for its dry braking, comfort and rolling noise. In summary the testers called the tyre “harmonious, safe and precise” in wet and dry conditions.
 
Overall the testers awarded four of the twelve tested brands the “very good -” ranking, seven tyres were given “good” rankings, and one was branded “satisfactory -“. The full test appears in the current issue (March 2013) of Gute Fahrt.
