Tyre reviews Yokohama Bluearth ES32. Page 1 2040
- Rate
Ran them through the whole last season and almost a month into this one and my opinion of them hasn't changed from last summer. They do great on dry and wet asphalt, aren't afraid of dirt and gravel and are pretty durable. I can only hear my neighbors with the window open on the asphalt. No noise at all compared to my ES32.

2055516 I've driven on these tires for 2000 km +-, initially I was completely disappointed after switching from Nexen N'Fera SU1, the car wouldn't hold its course, it was noisy, the brakes felt like they were stolen, and every bump felt like a punch to the teeth. Then I checked the air pressure at a gas station and found out that all 4 wheels were inflated to 2.4. I reduced the pressure to 2.2 as recommended, and it got much, much better. I got rid of all the drawbacks except for the noise, which is still loud like an airplane at speeds between 100 and 130 km/h, but gets quieter after that, i.e., at cruising speed, it's still uncomfortable. The tire is prone to rolling at normal pressure due to its soft sidewalls, and at the same time, the tread is hard. It's somehow strange that they've done something with this orange oil, maybe they use it at factories outside of Russia, but here it's clearly a scam.
In general, the tire is still okay (although I've already driven it for a while, and it's gotten better). If it cost 4000, I'd definitely recommend it. But for over 5500, it's clearly overpriced. I bought it because of my own mistake when I could have bought Bridgestone for 3500, but I decided to keep driving on my old tires, and now I'm stuck with this one. I live in St. Petersburg, and there are a lot of cars in my yard and at work, but it feels like I'm the only one with these tires, and that's kind of nice.
The description says that these tires are for light and medium sedans, maybe they're good for Polo or Rio, but my Avensis is clearly heavier.
On dry roads, the handling is fine, but it's a bit slow to respond when changing lanes (Nexen and the original Bridgestone are more responsive). I haven't driven on very wet asphalt yet, but it doesn't hydroplane in light rain. When it comes to rain, Nexen is unbeatable, with its 4 longitudinal grooves, it holds the road superbly, it's a shame they don't make those tires anymore (especially the Korean ones).
The tire's straight-line stability is 4 out of 5. The comfort while driving is a relative concept - in the city, it's no problem, but on the highway, as I mentioned earlier, it's noisy like an airplane up to 130 km/h.
Would I buy it again? Honestly, I don't know what it'll be like after two seasons.
So as not to ruin the tire's statistics, I gave it 5 stars for its winter performance.

I bought tyres 205/60/16. They were balanced with weights 10/5, 10/5, 5/0, 10/5, which I think is a good result. I got a discount at Mosavtoshina and they delivered to Krasnodar in 2 days after ordering. The tyres were manufactured in 37 weeks of 2019, so they are fresh! The tyre itself is soft and comfortable, with normal noise level, present

I'm really pleased with them. They ride smoothly, smoothing out any bumpiness. They're quiet. They handle well on wet pavement and keep steady in corners. I was worried that I'd lose some of the handling, but it's actually become even better. The wheel turns easily, the car goes exactly where you point it. They don't get caught in the groove. Just what I was hoping for.

Excellent tire, well-cast. Bought the set for a good price. Excellent balance. No aquaplaning in the rain, good grip on the road. Noise first 200 km, quiet afterwards. They were immediately in the shortlist, but looked for something else for a long time. Don't regret putting them on.

The first 500 km were a bit noisy. Like it wasn't bothering me, but still I was a bit sad. Then it got quieter and more comfortable. My mood even lifted! The potholes were a pleasure to drive over. The way the road is maintained is worth commending.

The biggest pluses for me are their excellent wear resistance (after one season the tire looked brand new), stability in the track, as the native tire noticeably threw on the road, and excellent behavior on a wet road. By the way, the noise level has noticeably decreased compared to the original tire. I am fully satisfied with these tires.

The tire is good, the ride is smooth, soft, and it handles bumps well, the braking is excellent. The only problem is that it's a bit noisy, and the noise increases when turning while moving. I hope that with further use, the noise will decrease.

I was choosing between Yoko and Nittor, till the last moment I wanted Nittor, but I bought Yoko. I never regretted it. I was riding on the serpentines of the Black Sea... turns, rain. The tires behaved well. The price is justified, no overpayment for the brand. The noise is normal, no discomfort, I hear the engine more.

High-quality tires. Drive in town, no complaints. On the highway, it holds well up to 160 km/h, then starts to get nervous, especially when changing lanes. Each tire comes with a Samurai warranty, which became the final factor in buying these tires.
