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 225/45R17 94W XL
These tyres perform exceptionally well on wet and dry surfaces. I only select the Yokohama BluEarth GT AE51 for my Saab 93 Sportwagon due to the excellent grip and feedback they provide. Their performance has always impressed me.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 225/45R17 94W XL
Overall performance has been excellent. They provide amazing grip! That grip comes with some noise, especially with my car's firm suspension and lowered stance, but it's kind of expected. I've been really impressed with how long the tyres last - The front ones have been on for several months and the back ones have over 10,000 miles and still have a good amount of tread!

I have purchased these tyres before and therefore, they meet my expectations. They have even performance and reasonable wear.
