The Yokohama Blueearth E51 tires are a standard on many Lexus NX300h models in the uk. I had the 2021 Takumi spec with them on. In my experience I found the Yokohama tires to be an extremely harsh ride on UK roads. For a luxury vehicle it’s a strange option of tire, the side walls are extremely stiff offering poor absorption of bumps, if the vehicle was all about handling in corners then it may be an option, the NX is no sports touring car so benefits very little from the minimal tire roll. The tire noise is also very loud, the compound goes hard very quickly, I had 3 year old tires and on uneven road surfaces the noise was an intrusion in the cabin. I replaced all four with Continental Cross Contacts, what a difference, super quiet and smooths the bumps, the side wall of the tire actually flexes so bumps are absorbed and this provides for a quieter ride generally.

These were fitted as standard on a new Lexus NX 300H. They are exceptionally noisy on most road surfaces and seem to invoke a high frequency vibration throughout the vehicle which makes it create a noise like one of the vehicles windows is a tiny bit ajar. On some motorways at 70 mph its almost impossible to hold a conversation with a passenger because of the high cabin noise.

Driven 25000km's (15.000miles) on these tires so far and the first thing you notice is how good the tire is on wear. They still have more than half of the thread left on all 4 tires.

They're pretty good in the rain, car feels stable but with standing water, it feels a bit like the car is floating.

Dry grip isn't bad, long corners are no problem for these, but under rapid and continuous direction changes, the tires start to show their limit. But this isn't a sports tire anyway..

A major downside for me is noise. At halfway through their life there is a very consistent noise (that might also be because the car is very silent). Almost as loud as the Bridgestone winter tires.

I'm probably gonna switch to Yokohama Bluearth ES32 when these are worn, but i do recommend the E51 for drivers that seek comfort and longlivety from their tires.
