The Michelin Energy Saver + was designed to boost the fuel efficiency of the Energy Saver range.
The Avon ZV7 is a high performance car tyre, designed to keep you moving in tough and varied weather conditions.
The Rotalla RH01 is a high performance budget tyre.
Developed to ensure shorter braking distances on wet and dry roads.
Exactly as expected due to replacing same type as previously on vehicle
On paper the tyres appeared better than the Michelins they replaced, they hold the road well and are fine in the wet but are wearing really quickly, making them more expensive overall than the Michelins. If they are any better than the Michelins in terms of wet/roadholding, then this is marginal, and completely outweighed by the speed at which the tread has disappeared.
These tyres replaced the OEM Michelin Primacys. The Yokohamas have been brilliant with great grip and roadholding in wet and dry conditions. The load rating was also higher than the Michelins which was a bonus as the Citroen C8 they are fitted to are notorious for using up front tyres every 10-12k miles. This pair lasted 25k and performed brilliantly for 2 years. Also 2/3 of the price of the Michelins.
