J'avais acheté ces pneus 4 saisons pour leurs notations sur route mouillée, ils équipent une 208, ce pneu a je dirai deux facettes : sur la premier moitié de sa vie donc jusqu'au témoin neige le pneu se montre parfait sur le sec, sur le mouillé, par pluie battante en virage nottemment il est sécuritaire et ne bouge pas d'un poil. Par contre arrivé au témoin neige le pneu devient glissant en virage et rond point en cas de chaussée trop humide, sur le sec il reste ultra performant et agréable à conduire. Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de les tester sur neiges ou glace donc je ne peu pas émettre d'avis sur ces points. Point négatif, il arrivent en fin de vie a 23000km... L'été a été caniculaires donc je pense que les gommes tendres ont subit un peu mais ça reste peu pour un pneu de ce prix et de cette normalement qualité, je précise que ma conduite est constituée essentiellement de 4 voies et départementale et qu'elle n'est pas forcément agressive... Je vais donc changer de marque et essayer d'autres marques.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Peugeot 208 1.2VTi drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Went all season as there are only about 2 weeks a year where it’s warm enough for summer tyres IMO.
After 15k over a year, tread has lost less than 1mm.
Zero complaints. Amazing performance.
They grip well in the dry, have decent fuel economy and handle well in the wet.
However, in the snow and ice they really shine. They have outperformed my partner's CrossClimate booted car, clambering up our steepish hill to get out our estate with no complaints, where the CC struggled a bit for traction in the snow and ice.
I'm going to replace them before this winter with the Multiseason Gen 02 which look to be just as good
The Energy Savers are an excellent tyre that didn't disappoint. At no time I had an unsafe feeling and had plenty of grip on both dry and wet roads in all situations. The tyres felt a bit hard on uneven roads and handling was good but clearly not a performance tyre. Tyre life was amazing, 5 years and 84500km (52500 miles) later they still had 3,5 mm (front) and 5,5 mm (back) thread depth on it. They did however got cracks around the sidewall and that was a major reason for replacement.
I gave a 6 for buy again, not because I was unsatisfied but in 2017 there are better options available. I changed to Michelin CrossClimate Plus (see my initial review). When we compare the Michelin Energy Savers and CrossClimates I would say grip levels are about equal in the dry and wet while the CrossClimates have superior comfort, handling and road feedback with winter performance as a welcome bonus.
I am changing the fronts because they are are at 3mm, which is too worn for my safety conscious mind!
I have reviewed lots of different tyres this week, and partly due to cost, have decided to replace the worn fronts with the same tyre. This is because as soon as I drove the car, I felt comfortable, and safe, despite them being so low in tread depth.
I'm hoping for more than 12000 miles from these as I drive pretty carefully.
