The Yokohama BluEarth-A AE50 tyre uses Yokohama’s Nano Blend Compound and design ideas from the AE40 and AE51 tyres as well as from the BluEarth GP family to create a summer touring tyre with low rolling resistance and improved wet performance. While Yokohama’s nano blend compound uses a blend of silica and orange oil to reduce rolling resistance, the asymmetrical design of the AE50 separates the inner and outer sides of the tread. From inner to outer, the design features: a water evacuation system, cornering support tread blocks, and a f irm tread band designed to give consistent steering performance on dry surfaces.
As part of Yokohama's BluEarth line, the AE50 replaced the C.drive2 and the now discontinued touring tyre section of the C.drive line. Yokohama's AE51 now takes the place of the AE50. Tyres.co.uk sells Yokohama's BluEarth-A AE50.
