Replaced Avon ZV7s on the front basically as the equivalent Yoko's were £25 a corner cheaper and the same wet A-grading as the predecessors.

bought a Camry with Dunlop SP Lm sport, 215/55/17 , the handling of car was super scary, braking was bad, cabin noise at back made me think my wheel bearings are worn out, i checked them and bearings were fine , then i replaced the front ones with Yokohama GT, the braking, handling, cabin noise and smoothness significantly improved, i never thought tire brand and model can make a huge difference in the car’s performance, so i purchased another 2 for back, the only negative side of Yokohama Bluearth GT is the treads wearing out faster than usual. Definitely buy it again.

Very good tires for dry handling, very good fuel economy, the only thing bothers me is the comfort.. even with 32psi these are rough on even small humps or potholes. These are bit tough tires and may lasts longer. Due to its low rolling resistance, breaking distance also bit more. Michelin Primacy 4 were much better on comfort absorbing uneven road surface but they are 1.5 times expensive.. but they are worth because of perfect balance of safety, stability, comfort and economy.
On good highways Yokohama AE51 are very stable, comfortable, confident, and giving me very good fuel economy than Michelins. If the slow speed and rough road comfort they can improve then these will be the one of the best tires for its price.

Had this tire fitted to my car and they are perfect for my small hatchback. Excellent dry grip and handling with full confidence to throw it into corners, wet grip is also quite good. However it does take some time for them to heat up in the wet to get significant grip. Fuel economy is also very good, I would recommend this tire for small hot hatchbacks. 10/10

Worst tire ever i had used, previously factory fitted continental uc6 pretty solid tire. I read review thru here found out this tires not bad i would give a try. Once fitted on my car i totally regret it and feel like throw this tire away. On dry pretty average grip but on wet road totally useless, when going uphill at genting wet road totally no grip at all keep wheel spin. I'll used it for temporary right now due to still new, but I would like people to avoid this tires. I'll change it to yokohama v601

These tires are very good. They have covered 13000 miles now with 5mm of tread remaining. They are just as good, and are lasting just as long as my previous tires which were Bridgestone ER300 and Goodyear Efficient Performance. Both these tires returned 28000 miles on the front and 38000 miles on the rear of the car. Dry and wet grip was as I expected, noise and comfort also.

Very nice tires. The car was originally with Dunlop sport maxx rt, more sporty tire than this version of yokohama but the car goes very good on dry and wet, and the handling at 140/150km/h is excellent. You can control de car perfectly. The confort is great, I can feel the difference with the dunlop. The noise is low, but I can't see a big difference with the previous tire. I'm very happy with this version of yokohama.

I bought these after the factory fitted Yokohama advan db Tire since the same was not available with Yokohama dealers. Very very disappointed. Very hard and make lot of noise in comparison to the oem advan db. I expected grip to be better but not as good as advan db. In fact the mileage is also worse. and road vibrations are so jarring that I am waiting to wear them out so that I can buy the advan db. Found out that I can buy them from Toyota for around the same price i bought these. Worst decision of Tire in my life.

First impressions after around 2000 km of drive.
City and highway experience.
Very good tires. Very reliable feel, great response, low noise, steering wheel on a stiff side (I like it), safe.
Comfort: very dependent on the pressure inside the tires. My 215/55/r17 tires had 2.4-2.5 bar after they were mounted. The ride was on the "hard" side and would not call it as very comfortable. Checked on the car manufacturers recommendation for my tires size- it was from 2.2 bar to 2.4 bar. I made it to 2.3 bar and the ride comfort became superb, very enjoyable. Pay attention to that (jus the change of 0.1 bar in the tires pressure can make significant difference in comfort).
Dry roads: no complains. Low and high speeds feels very reliable, accurate and safe.
Wet roads: very good at lower speeds (up to 80-90 km/h). Great handling, stopping, great road feedback and safety. On higher speeds (up to 140-150 km/h) on heavy rain I would call the tires as adequate and predictable. However at such conditions the driver should be mindful.
Overall: very satisfied with these very well balanced tires.

Production of my tier is week 39 in 2018
I got my tier when I buy my new Toyota Camry in the first week of 2019
I highly recommended this tier it last for 72K MILES
115000 KILOMETER
AND STILL WORKING GREAT
I DRIVE THROUGH SEA SIDE DESERT IN ALL THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA IN MIDDLE EAST north to Jordan east to gulf country south till the border of YEMEN ( QATARE AND DUBI THIS WINTER ) In 3 years and half I never change my tier since I buy my car
TEMP IN MY CITY IS AROUND 35 to 48 degrees
My driving is comfort not going over 120 kilometer/ hour a lot
But I try driving with 220 kilo meter / hour and the tier is perfect
Very good grip And handling
Very good comfort and the noise is good
Very economical in driving
But sadly our dealer dose not sell this tier in our country
So I am thinking to buy Goodyear efficient performance 2 as another choice
THANK YOKOHAMA FOR THE GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH YOU :)

This is a recently launched Yokohama tire, after checking it out i made my decision to give it a try.
Grip is awesome, comfort much better and handling is superb. Not too much wear on the tires, i think they will easily last 80000kms.
im happy with my purchase.
