I have gotten 51.000 km out of my Energy Savers already, and the front tyres should be good for at least another 15.000 km or thereabout.

On the rear axle the tyres will last a lot longer.
With 51.000 km they're only just broken in
About 1/3 of the usefull thread life is gone, so they should get 150.000km.
Or 100.000km average.

But I plan to switch the rear tyres to the front when the front tyres wear out - otherwise the rear tyres will get too old before they'll wear down.

Starting from 41.56 mpg - 5.66 L/100km, I got a 7% reduction in my fuel consumption, or almost 0,4L/100km.

I'm using 205/55/16 91H W-rated Energy Savers on a 1400 kg vehicle.
