Michelin Energy tires on the xD?

I have had Michelin Energies on previous cars and found them to last a long time and have reasonable grip. Does anyone else have these on the xD? My Dunlops are due for a replacement and I ordered four of the Michelins. I'll report back how the xD likes them and the fuel savings, if any.

BTW I found these in the stock 195/60R16 size at online vendors and WalMart. I ordered online -- even with shipping more than $100 less than Wallies. Tire Rack doesn't seem to stock them yet. I ordered from www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com. Have seen a few negative posts about them online but complaints were with wheels and not tires. Fingers crossed.

Quick update, vendor cancelled my order indicating the Michelin Energy tires were not available. It also seems they have been removed from WalMart's inventory in the 195 60R16 stock size. I replaced with Dunlop Sport 5000s again.

just go with a 215/55r16 that should not change your speedo, and you'll have better tires to choose from. you can pick up some pilots or even a primacy (Michelin tyres)
