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.

Quiet smooth ride
These tires replaced the second set of Bridgestone Turanza's on our 2012 Japanese built Honda Jazz. This model has quite firm suspension and the tyre size does not allow for a lot of options, 16" 185 55. They have improved the ride quality and reduced the road noise that was evident before, so big plus there. I can run these tires at 34psi and get a good smooth ride, had to drop the Bridgestones to 28 psi to get a bearable ride. Bought on a buy 3 get 4 deal, makes the decision easy. Not a particularly high-tech looking tyre, not directional, bu...Read more
t I consider this a plus on an "A to B" appliance car, so far I am happy, only have a few thousand up though. Update june 17, have approx. 17k on these tires, wearing quite well, they probably won't deliver a high mileage but still gives a nice quieter smoother ride than the Bridgestone tires on this car, so would recommend these.Similar opinion?

Yokohama BluEarth AE01 45,000km UPDATE
Just had the front Yokohama BluEarth EA01's replaced & am happy to say that they lasted 45,000kms on a front wheel drive vehicle without a single tyre rotation or balance - tyres wore evenly.
I would predict if rotated and balanced every 10,000kms I'd have gotten at least 60,000kms out of them.
Over the 45,000kms I've spent with my first set of tyres the fuel consumption on my vehicle has gone from 7.6L/100km using Bridgestone Ecopia Ep25's down to an amazing 6.8L/100km on the Yokohama BlueEarth EA01s.
The grip of the tyres didn't fall...Read more
as they wore out, I can travel at highway speeds without slowing down - I've never aqua-planed once, even in torrential rain at 110km/h on the M1. Considering I only paid $129 per tyre, plus the fact these tyres scored #1 in their category beating Continental, Pirelli, BF GoodRich, Toyo, Bridgestone, Michelin & Kumho for dry/wet braking, dry/wet cornering, fuel efficiency & tread wear is amazing considering most of the competition are well into the $200 per tyre territory.

Quite, smooth and comfortable ride characteristic. Happy purchase
Love at the first 1 km drive out of the shop. Had Hankook(lasted over 2 years, with high kay driving annually) which did a reasonable job, but next to the Yokohama Bluearth, its chalk and cheese. The Bluearth impressed straight away with the compliant and quietness in the ride quality. The Lancer was never a quite car or sporty but on the new tyres got at Bob Jane Tmart (Belconnen ACT) on special is a revelation. 3 days in and mix drive of urban (50-70) and semi highway(90) have proven the extra dollar spent was worth it. Cornering is much more...Read more
confident inspiring without mid corner kick. Somehow strengthen and compliment the braking whereby prior it feel the brakes was struggling. Haven't experience wet condition yet so that would make or break the love affair. Didn't realised the Bluearth is an "eco, low resistance tyres", had bad experience with Michelin eco type before where it was a joke in the wet(nearly reared a car cos it skid instead of stopping) and promise never again... So for the pure magic of transform the ride and handling especially smooth the ride and reduce noise and vibration on a high kay car is a real surprise. So far i'm happy with it. 5/5 (Just need to experience in wet and see if its durable).Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good grip, quiet running tyre
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.
@20 000
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
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.

Complete Package
The tyres we have fitted are 215/60/16 99H on a BF Ford Falcon Futura Station wagon and already have covered around 5000kms on them.
Living in a rural area where we travel on both sealed & unsealed roads in all weather conditions, I have found these tyres tick all the boxes and then some.
When first fitted the difference in ride comfort and the quietness of the tyres was very apparent, especially so when travelling at highway speed which is very much appreciated when travelling hours on end, and is especially welcome driving on unsealed roads...Read more

Yoko Blue Earth
Mazda 6 wagon, replaced original Bridgestones.
Less noise, grip is great dry & wet, fuel, 8L per100k was 9+ achieved with no regard to economy,together with lightweight Oasis wheels and good deal all round very happy
Wear, will have to wait and see .My first car (44 yrs ago) had Michelins that never wore out but always went straight ahead in the wet.!!!!!.
Have now done 20000k still good but I think 30000 will see them out.
Now over 30k and maybe see 40k but remember to rotate and watch pressures

Great Tyres
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
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
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
Sachuasked
what is the 205/55/16 tyre milege?
1 answer
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.
Snapperasked
What is the tread depth for a new tire?
1 answer
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.

What is a good quiet tyre in yokohama for an ix35 hyundai?
2 answers
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.
I cant answer this as Im not familiar with the car.Sorry
