Product description & features

The Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 is an asymmetric summer touring tyre, particularly for SUVs, with a focus on minimising the rolling resistance for the heavier vehicles and improving control and grip on wet roads. The tread design incorporates four, wide longitudinal grooves that provide clear pathways around the tyre footprint for water to exit the surface. The external blocks are large to support the tread structure under the load of the SUVs. The smaller blocks within the tread design provide additional elements for wet braking and traction. The tread design is also incorporated with slits to further assist with wet traction.

The SUV-specific casing also assist with the weight, grip and rolling resistance of the tyre and provides a quieter tread pattern as well. The Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 is available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric summer tread for SUVs
  • Four wide water-clearing grooves
  • Large outer tread blocks
  • Quieter tread pattern

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 225/65R17 106V XL
A lot quieter than the awful factory-fitted Bridgestones and no early cracking problems that the Bridgestones seem to have.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 225/65R17 106V XL
Fantastic grip on wet roads, much better than the Bridgestone Dueler H33. In winter the noise is a bit louder and bumps are a little rougher, but the grip is way better.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 225/65R17 106V XL
The Yokohama tyres are superior to the Continental Eco Contact tyres that came with the car. There is less noise in the cabin, the ride is smoother, handling has got better, and there is no downside to these new tyres.

Tyre review for Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 225/65R17 106V XL
Compared to my last set of Dunlop tyres, the Yokohama tyres have been a lot quieter than the Dunlops a year into their use. I will be getting Yokohama tyres again for my Lexus RX450H.
