from:tiremedia.com - TUV Sud Shows Michelin Energy Saver as Lowest Cost

Quote:
Independent testing organisation TUV Sud has shown that Michelin’s Energy Saver tyres lend motorists considerable savings over competitors’ brands...

The Energy Saver proved to have a considerable advantage over rivals in a direct comparison in terms of longevity and fuel consumption; on average, the tyre cost £8.12 less per 1,000 miles in the 205/55R16V size category, and £5.58 less in the 195/65R15H section.
