Yokohama BluEarth-A AE-50 185/50 R16 81 H

They work great on both dry and wet roads. I put on brand new tyres back in March and on the road I was caught in a snow shower at 1-2 degrees plus. The tyres held up very well, and I didn't feel uncomfortable about not wearing winter tyres anymore. It's hard to say how long they last, as I've only covered 2500 km since putting them on. I recommend Yokohama tyres to everyone, because they really are great. I've used tyres from practically all the leading manufacturers (I have never had Goodyear) and so far I have the best opinion about Yokohama, Dunlop and Toyo Tyres. Michelins and Continental in my opinion are overrated. They are not better than the above mentioned brands when it comes to driving qualities, and they wear strangely fast, which I can understand, but they are totally unsuited to the sun, because after 3 years they fade and develop microcracks, and even though the tread could still be used, I lost trust in them and I reject their "faded" appearance. This is my remark that I park my car under a block of flats. To sum up, I recommend the Yokahama BlueEarth A AE 50 tyres. The inscription made in Japan still means high quality! Read more Collapse

Hello, I have been a tyre owner for over a year now. I changed from Goodyears I think. Supposedly Blue Earth tyres improve performance including fuel burn, unfortunately I won't confirm or deny. It's hard for me to check. Certainly some difference (say on the level of 0.1/100), in the long run it is something noticable. The noticeable difference is certainly the noise level generated - or rather the lack of it - especially on the motorway. The version I have is tested up to a speed of 240km/h. The predecessor of AE, i.e. the AE01 version, has a declared maximum speed of 190km/h, so the difference is, depending on the version, 20-50km/h. Nevertheless, both this and the previous model are more silent. I have not encountered any difficulties when cornering at higher speeds - so they stick to the road, they are also durable. After all this time I have not found any signs of gridding (tyre wear). It is difficult to judge the external look of the tyre - I like it, subjective opinion. However, I do not think that the look of a tyre in particular is the most important parameter. Read more Collapse

The tyre is performing superbly so far. Although I ordered other Yokohama, i.e. A01, and when I received the shipment I was scared because I got ae50, I was afraid they would be noisy and less economical (I did not know them). I decided to give them a try, put them on and drive around. I've been driving since the beginning of March, almost half a year now, but I'm happy with them, they smooth out the bumps super well and on the car's computer I've finally dropped my shown fuel consumption by 0.3l so far. Maybe it's not much, but last year I was driving on michelin and the magic 8l per 100km couldn't drop on the computer. I know the computer isn't a good reference for fuel consumption (especially with me), but since it moved down on these tyres it means something. The noise from them is practically comparable to the previous tyres (rated at about 100km/h), so I think I've gained in fuel economy so far. I think I'll look back here next year and describe the tyres in more detail how they've performed over that time. Read more Collapse

I have been using Yokohama AE50 tyres for several months now. So far I can say this much - they perform great on wet pavement as well as dry pavement. They give us a good grip even at low temperatures and in the rain on days like this. Now it will be warmer - and therefore better for these tyres. After all, they are summer tyres - not winter tyres. The tyre has several wheel rim protectors, which is certainly a plus. The tyre has very good noise reduction, which is certainly noticeable on the motorway compared with the previous tyre. The AE50 version (model) can cope with a Vmax of 210/240 km/h, which, from the characteristics of the tyre and the intended use - sports cars - is another plus. In general: quiet, good grip, durable after almost a year of use (I will let you know) how things will look after years. Read more Collapse

I put them on last year after being persuaded by a friend. I would describe my driving style as dynamic. So far, irrespective of the brand, there has been more or less wear after a season (I've changed tyres every 3 seasons max). With Yokohama it's a bit different. When I changed my tyres now, I took a closer look at them and I must say that they look the best of all. The tread wears out very slowly, despite my driving style. As for the ride itself, the tyres are quiet, they stick to the road very well, even in the rain. I don't feel any discomfort while driving. In my opinion, if you like dynamic driving and have had problems with Yokohama tyres wearing quickly, this is a good choice. For me it is the best so far Read more Collapse
