They REALLY are quieter :)

Had 4 new YOAE01 205/55ZR 16 tyres fitted today with buy 3 get 1 free.
I am extremely impressed with these tyres. The quality and grip seem great.
Noticeable decrease in the road noise & the ride is smoother.
Great service from Bob Jane T-marts and we will certainly be back.
Thumbs up for a great start.

Good grip, quiet running tyre

published

All good so far after 6000klms, however I feel shallow tread depth will affect ability to get high mileage. I will just have to wait & see. These tyres replaced Kumho which were awful particularly road noise. They sounded like worn out wheel bearings! Also testing German made Continentals.....so far brilliant!

Honeymoon!

175/70r13 Great in the wet, which is what I was after.
Also much quieter than previous tyres (Goodyear GT3s), unexpected bonus.
Very happy with these tyres, and can totally recommend them. I'll write more once I've driven plenty of kays but like I say, very happy with them.

+5000km
Quiet, predictable and great in the wet.

Still great. What the British like to call spirited driving, wearing evenly, guess they'll go another 10 000km. Let you know.

Worn out at 25k

published

Had these fitted on my Hyundai Sonata about 18mths ago.
They have worn evenly, but are now worn out and require replacing.
Yes, in other ways the tyres do the job, but was expecting a bit more life expectancy from them.

Great Tyres

published

I've just replaced the original 195 Bridgestones on my new Pulsar Hatch with 205 AE01s and these are significantly better all round.

Steering and handling are noticeably improved, they are quieter and more comfortable. Those suspension jiggles over our rough North Coast roads are much reduced.

My fuel consumption has declined from 6.2 to 6.0L/100klms.

Have no idea about the wear factor but that is far less important to me than the above.

One happy driver here.

Super adequate

published

Very happy with them, most adequate tyres i ever did purchase, great in the wet.
I work in the sticks so its all hi-speed driving so dry/wet grip is essential, generally lighter and rounder so less fuel consumption, previously had chepo double star - no name brand tyres from previous owner were lethal.
Excellent all round tyre and light

Blue Earth from now on

published

I've been running generic cheap tyres on my wifes car for a while. My local Bob Jane recommended changing from a 195 to a 205 as you can get a much better tyre for the money. We ended up getting 2 Blue Earths fitted up. We have done about 1,000km so far. Her fuel economy avg has dropped from 7.2l/100 to 6.9L/100 (I didn't tell her they were supposed to have less rolling resistance and save fuel) which is almost as good as claimed. The tyres are a lot quieter than the nexan that we had. The 205 actually look skinnier than the 195. The wife says they feel more comfortable.
Quite, fuel economy.
They look skinny.

Questions & Answers

Sachu

Sachuasked

what is the 205/55/16 tyre milege?

1 answer
James
James

The mileage capable to be squeezed out of a tyre depends on many aspects. The tyre needs to be of a reputed brand to begin with. The main things are, consistently maintaining manufacturer recommended air pressure, regular tyre rotations, wheel balancing and alignments (10000kms) even with all that being followed negative driving habits such as loaded vehicle, fast cornering, regular hard braking will reduce the mileage significantly. So there is no definitive answer to your question.

What is the tread depth for a new tire?

supposed to be ~ 8mm but depends on tyres (off-road/passenger/commercial etc) and manufacturers specs. Have a look at the Aust Design Rules too for other information.

Try the Bluearth AE50s, they're a high quality tyre for medium-large size passenger vehicles.

Great grip in the wet, quiet on most surfaces and they offer great fuel savings.

They're about 20% cheaper than the equivalent tyre from Bridgestone, continental or Michelin which is a big plus.
