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

The car appears to have increased traction on the road, especially when the road is wet.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 225/50R17 98W XL
I've placed an entire set of these tyres on my Skoda Yeti and have had to replace the front two after about 18,000 miles. They are very good value for money.

These tyres are really good with comfort and handling in a damp environment. Excellent grip in the spirited drive. I would buy again for sure.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 225/50R17 98W XL
These tyres look to be doing a good job, seem quieter and seem to have better handling on the road. I will see how they compare over time to the Toyo tyres I have had for quite a while. Decided to switch brands to try something new, but still made in the same country.
