    Michelin Energy Savers have an "A" rating for wet grip/braking performance?

    I did buy some of these for my old car and I was pretty happy with the grip to be fair, but the durability was amazing, I got almost 80k miles out of the set. Mainly motorway miles to be fair but still.

    Fuel saving was negligable, probably paid for themselves over the 80k miles though!

    For some tyre sizes, but not all. Broadly speaking, narrower, smaller diameter tyres will have lower rolling resistance than wider, larger diameter ones.
