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 Touring is widely regarded as a high-value, reliable tire that offers a comfortable and quiet ride, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious drivers. While most users praise its longevity and consistent performance across various weather conditions, a minority of users report issues with sidewall softness and occasional traction loss in wet conditions.
Pros
- Excellent price-to-performance ratio
- Quiet and smooth ride quality
- Strong tread life and durability
- Reliable dry and wet road traction for daily commuting
- Easy to balance during installation
Cons
- Reports of soft sidewalls leading to handling instability
- Occasional wheel spin in wet or snowy conditions
- Some users noted road noise or 'tread growl' over time
- Tendency to track or follow grooves in pavement
Observations
- Users with sedans and older passenger cars frequently report that the tire improves ride comfort, making the vehicle feel more stable and substantial.
- Owners of heavier vehicles or those with specific suspension issues noted that the soft sidewall can be more pronounced, potentially impacting steering precision.

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.
