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 255/35R18 94W XL
While these tyres are not sporty and do not offer extreme grip, they are more than good enough for a compact electric vehicle that is used for short, and local trips. I have selected the XL variant to improve stability and better manage the weight of the car. They are decently priced, and while I would not use them on my other vehicles, they suit my Nissan Leaf.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 255/35R18 94W XL
These tyres perform well when driving my Volvo V70, whether the road conditions are wet or dry, and appear to be as good as my previous, more expensive Continental tyres.
