I was very pleased with the overall service, and the fitting only took slightly longer than expected, which is no fault of theirs.

Yokohama BluEarth-A AE50

Overall, they seem to perform quite well. Some earlier reviews said they had difficulty with wet grip, but I've since driven them in a fair amount of rain and that hasn't been an issue. They may slip a little on hard acceleration when the ESP takes control, but it's not something you notice because during hard braking or cornering, they seem to grip really well. The reinforcement provides a bit of stability and predictability which adds a little confidence to my driving. They seem to be wearing on well and are fairly quiet, and my fuel consumption seems acceptable, just keep them inflated.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5

Steering is easy. The car responds well to steering inputs and braking is smooth and does not result in any skids. It also does not lose traction when accelerating.

Yokohama BluEarth-A AE50

These tyres are excellent. They provide great comfort, low noise, and give very good grip on wet and dry conditions. I am fortunate to have a vehicle testing facility available to me, and every time I get new tyres, I rigorously test them. These tyres easily exceeded the performance of the Avon ZZ5's that were recommended.

Ideal tyres for a family vehicle should be quiet, provide excellent traction, be reliable in the rain, and be cost-effective.

205/40 R17 Tyre Specifications

205/40 R17 is a standard low-profile size on some Abarth 500 and 595 models. To explain the numbers: 205 means the tyre is 205mm wide. 40 means the aspect ratio is 40%, so 205mm times 40% equals 82mm. R17 means this tyre is a radial on a 17-inch rim, so this tyre has an overall diameter of 596mm. The short sidewall on both cars flexes less and softens bumps less. We sell 205/40 R17 tyres on Tyres.co.uk, including the XL versions.
