The summer tire Yokohama Bluearth AE51A is installed on the Toyota Camry, being part of the primary equipment of this popular sedan in our country. It has operational properties, selected taking into account the technical features and characteristics of this vehicle. It is distinguished by improved grip on wet surfaces, excellent ride quality and pronounced fuel-saving properties.
"Nano-compound"
This tire is one of the light vehicle models of the Japanese manufacturer, where the so-called "nano-compound" is used in the manufacture of the tread. The technology for preparing the rubber mixture involves mixing with polymers, silica, orange oil, and other substances in precise quantities. This allows the formation of molecular chains arranged in a certain direction. As a result, a rubber mixture is formed that reduces fuel consumption, improves traction on wet surfaces, and increases the resistance of the tread to abrasive wear. The role of orange oil is to reduce rolling resistance and give the tread the ability to very tightly envelop the smallest irregularities on the road surface. These properties are fully preserved over a very wide temperature range.
Asymmetrical tread
A distinctive feature of the tread design is its division into two functional areas. The boundary between them is located closer to the inner side of the tire, which is one of them. Its functionality is to provide maximum efficiency during acceleration, for which numerous edges are used, formed by transverse drainage grooves.
The outer side, containing three longitudinal ribs, improves traction during maneuvering. The shoulder area enhances it and provides stability when the tire is subjected to lateral acceleration forces. In turn, the solid longitudinal rib, which runs exactly along the center of the tread, provides instant reactions to the driver's actions, as well as directional stability.
Low risk of aquaplaning
The tread pattern is also distinguished by the multiplicity and variety of drainage system elements. Longitudinal grooves serve as accumulators for water, which enters them through transverse channels. To intensify the process, they have a slope and shape that prevents water flow vortexing. When moving, these features manifest themselves in an extremely low risk of aquaplaning, even at high speeds.
