How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
40/100From 5 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Themes extracted from 5 owner reviews found online.
The Michelin Energy EV is generally regarded as a specialized, efficiency-focused tire that offers competent dry and wet grip for small electric vehicles like the Renault Zoe. However, user consensus is heavily marred by reports of premature structural degradation, high susceptibility to punctures, and a disproportionately high price point relative to its longevity.
Pros
- Commendable grip levels in both dry and wet conditions
- Effective contribution to vehicle range maximization
- Performance comparable to higher-tier performance tires despite eco-focused design
Cons
- High susceptibility to sidewall damage and punctures
- Premature aging, including cracking and block degradation
- Rapid tread wear on front-wheel-drive configurations
- High retail price for a small-diameter tire
Worth knowing
- Users of the Renault Zoe frequently report that the front tires suffer from significantly faster wear and structural issues compared to the rear tires.
- The tire's thin sidewall construction is a recurring point of failure for urban driving environments involving curbs.
