Where did you read this? A quick search for your topic thread title turned up nothing for me.

edit: probably nothing, priuschat had a similar discussion including the non a/s tires over 2 yrs ago



Yea, where'd you find this? Looking at michelins mobile site (desktop is still listing a/s) I've only found limited info, but it looks like they might have dropped the energy saver a/s, and replaced it with an energy saver -summer tire. They say it stops 10' shorter in the wet than the previous generation

Also noticed "....Original equipment on vehicles like MINI Cooper, BMW 3 Series, and Volkswagen Passat." I'm wondering if these have been available in Europe, but with recent emissions issues, if suddenly every Passat crossing the ocean will be fitted with these shoes

new? energy savers http://www.michelinman.com/US/en/tir...rgy-saver.html wondering if they're really a us tire, listed on the us site though

energy saver a/s http://www.michelinman.com/US/en/tir...-saver-as.html

discount tire / american tire is listing an energy saver and an energy saver a/s, but the energy saver doesn't seem to be available in any of its areas

Well, oil prices are at record lows. No need to "save energy", right?

Go and look at the sizes it is offered now. They discontinued it only kept sizes it was OEM equipment in. It is gone in 195/65R15, most common size sold (Prius Gen3).

If you go and read that priuschat thread you'll find several cases when posters had got an answer from Michelin saying that Energy Savers are discontinued.

Bridgestone has said their go ol 165/65r14 RE92s are discontinued every 2 years since 2006 and they seem to keep coming back.
