Yokohama Bluearth ES32 205/65 R15 99H

The target audience of the Yokohama Bluearth ES32 summer tire is the owners of small passenger cars. It was developed with the help of BluEarth technology, a set of original solutions that guarantee the tire's reliability in complex weather conditions, low fuel consumption, and long mileage before replacement.

Nanocompound

The tread of the tire is made from a rubber mixture that was developed and produced using nanotechnology. This ensures high uniformity of the compound, regardless of the quantity and properties of the components it contains. One of these components is orange peel oil. It increases the strength of the rubber mixture against tears and stretching, which remains in a wide temperature range. As a result, the tread remains sticky on a cold, wet surface and resistant to heat during prolonged high-speed driving. Additionally, this compound has allowed a significant increase in the level of "silica" content, which has also led to improved traction properties on wet surfaces.

Optimized breaker

Located directly under the tread, the breaker has an optimized design that improves a range of operational properties. This element is wider and contains an additional synthetic cord with longitudinal fibers that are arranged without any seams or joints. This "substrate" increases the tread's resistance to wear and reduces rolling resistance, which extends the service life and improves the tire's fuel-saving properties, respectively.

Z-shaped groove in the middle

Exactly in the middle of the tread, there is a longitudinal drainage groove. The Z-shaped design expands the functionality of this element. In addition to increasing resistance to aquaplaning, it also improves the stability of traction properties on wet surfaces.

Precision handling

In motion, the tire demonstrates quickness and precision in handling. This is largely due to the design of the shoulder areas. The blocks that form them are turned across and connected by a wide solid longitudinal rib. The limited mobility of these blocks allows lateral acceleration forces to be transmitted to the steering wheel with high accuracy and speed. As a result, ease of handling is ensured with very clear feedback.

Main features:

- The rubber mixture created using nanotechnology improves all basic operational properties;
- The Z-shaped drainage groove in the middle reduces the risk of aquaplaning and improves course stability on wet surfaces;
- Shoulder blocks connected by wide solid ribs make it easier to control the vehicle and improve stability during maneuvering.
