From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Michelin Energy Saver AS receives a mixed reception, primarily valued for its fuel efficiency and longevity in specific conditions, but frequently criticized for inconsistent tread life and poor performance in wet or cold weather. While some long-term users report exceptional durability, many modern drivers find the tire's grip and noise levels inadequate for daily commuting.
Pros
- High fuel economy and rolling efficiency
- Potential for high mileage in specific driving conditions
- Reliable dry weather traction for some users
Cons
- Significant hydroplaning tendencies in wet conditions
- Inconsistent tread life, with reports of premature wear
- Excessive road noise and audible squealing during cornering
- Unsettling braking performance in emergency situations
Observations
- Hybrid and EV owners, such as those with the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Nissan Leaf, report faster-than-expected tread wear.
- Users note that the tire's performance characteristics, particularly in cold and wet climates, are often perceived as inferior to dedicated winter or performance-oriented tires.
The Yokohama AVID ENVigor is generally regarded as a capable grand touring tire that excels in wet and dry handling, offering drivers a sense of security and responsiveness. While users appreciate its performance characteristics and lateral grip, some report concerns regarding road noise levels and ride stiffness compared to other premium alternatives.
Pros
- Strong wet and dry road grip
- Excellent lateral stability and handling feel
- Reliable performance at highway speeds
- Good value as a grand touring option
Cons
- Higher road noise levels than some competitors
- Ride quality can feel firm or harsh on certain vehicles
- Mixed feedback regarding long-term tread life expectations
Observations
- Drivers of sport-oriented sedans like the Civic Si noted the tire provides excellent handling but can feel stiff during spirited driving.
- Users replacing OEM tires on mid-size sedans like the Mazda6 reported significant improvements in lateral feel and wet weather confidence.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
