What is the personal experience of forum members on Michelin energy savers? How does the self seal function? Thanks!
Any significant decrease in fuel economy with avid ascend GT?

First all anything seen on redit should be treated as if it were heard from a middle school lunchroom table.
There is no self seal function. They get a nail in them they go flat like every other tire.
I went from ecopia, to replacing 2 of those avid ascend gt, that was a mistake and to energy savers..
The avid ascend gt is rated as average rolling resistance accord to the euro tire rating system.
I would say it caused a near catastrophic loss in range on the leaf and I only replaced 2. They are a great tire, just not for an electric car.
There's posts on here here where I go over it in detail.
