Three stars
24 april 2009
Two Michelin tyres, the Energy Saver and the Primacy HP, received the highest rating of "three stars" in tests conducted by the renowned German automobile club ADAC.
In comparative tests organised by ADAC in conjunction with its Austrian and Swiss partners, the Osterreichischer Automobil Motorrad und Touring Club (OAMTC) and the Touring Club Suisse (TCS), several dozen different models of the most popular tyre sizes were tested: 185/60 R 14 H and 205/55 R 16 W.
The test models were evaluated on such parameters as grip on dry and wet surfaces, fuel consumption, durability, and comfort (including noise level). Among the competitors that, along with the French models, received a "three-star" rating, the Energy Saver and Primacy HP scored the most points in terms of durability and fuel efficiency.
