If you fit the Michelin energy saver plus tyres make sure you have a good and accurate tyre gauge as the tyre pressures must be spot on then it will ride very well too high by only a couple of psi will make it bumpy but great tyres i'v had several sets on my old Xm Estate.

Just one more question about Michelin Energy Saver Tyres+. There are three options T, V and H. Is there any real difference between them? There's small difference in price T- cheapest and H- most expensive. But can't see any difference in tyre itself.

These letters are the speed ratings for each tyre. You should fit the correct one - either the owner's handbook or the label on the A-post (door pillar) will detail tyre size and speed rating.
Fitting a lower rating than the correct one for the car can lead to a vehicle test failure.
From memory, the 2.5 is 205/65 R15 V, but check.

Hi there,

I fitted a full set to my 1989 2.0 Si over a year ago, they are simply great!

Good grip, silent running, excellent in the wet and really not that expensive for a branded quality tyre.

Highly recommended!

Murray
