Yokohama Bluearth-XT AE61

I bought 4 tires from Mosavtoshina's online store in April 2023, all 4 tires were made in Russia in March 2023. The first balancing after purchase was 60-140 grams and all tires were crooked (I spent 3000 rubles on the 5th wheel), I drove 1500 km. Again, balancing, the tires were still crooked, balance 40-120 grams (this is in the best position, each tire was turned 4 times, optimizing), (I spent 3000 rubles on the 5th wheel) and drove another 4000 km. Again, I came for the 5th wheel and spent 4000 rubles. Each tire was put on up to 7 atm, deflated to 2.4, balanced

dismantled, turned 90 degrees, and again up to 7 atm. And so on, in four positions of the tire relative to the disk, each tire. Three tires more or less leveled out and the balance became 40-60 grams, one remained crooked and the balance was 100 grams. To be honest, I think that Mosavtoshina sent the rejects from their stores via online order, but it's unlikely that all 4 tires would be such bad ones, I drove south, when I return, there will be a 11,000 km drive on the tires, and I'll have to get the tires done again.....

Knowing that the road can be full of surprises, I chose durable tires with a strong sidewall so I wouldn't have to search for a replacement later. I bought a set of Yokohama, excellent thing, three years and everything is fine, not a single puncture, although there were surprises, I caught some potholes. Withstood everything.

The tire is soft, of course, this is also due to the fact that it is R16. The tire is noisy, don't listen to those who write that it is quiet. Especially on rough asphalt. But up to 60 km/h, there are no extra noise effects, they appear at higher speeds. A decent, inexpensive option for everyday driving and for the highway. They love the groove on the MKAD very much. You can even not steer. Can't get out of the groove. Driving like on rails.
