Product description & features

Yokohama’s BluEarth-GT AE51 is a summer touring tyre designed with wet-road braking in mind and a preference for longer GT driving. This tyre uses an asymmetric tread with inner and outer zones. For wet grip and reduced rolling resistance, Yokohama uses a proprietary rubber formulation with a silica and orange oil combination called Nano Blend Compound 2. Water is channeled through the tyre using wide, straight grooves, while the outer shoulder of the tyre remains unsupported in dry corners.

Yokohama’s touring line of tyres has moved from the BluEarth-A AE50 to the AE51. The centre ribs of the AE51 have a rounded profile that helps the upper surface of the tyre conversation with the road. This helps the tyre with even wear over time. At Tyres.co.uk, we have the BluEarth-GT AE51 in stock.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread with inner and outer zones
  • Wide, straight water channels
  • Silica and orange oil rubber
  • Rounded centre ribs for even wear

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 215/45R16 90V XL
Excellent performance in wet conditions. These replaced the original tyres on my car after 13,500 miles and 5.5 years. Living in Scotland, I face plenty of rainy conditions, so dependable grip was essential!

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 215/45R16 90V XL
They're a little pricey, but I've heard good things about them. They won't break the bank, especially considering they are top tier at reviews, and I trust them for the rain. Since my old tyres wore out, I had to swap them for something new and these seemed like a good deal. I wanted to get something from a reputable company so I chose these. I've noticed the road noise is quite a bit less, and I've been getting better traction compared to my old tyres.
