Overall, the Yokohama BluEarth AE50 is viewed as a competent daily-driving tyre with many drivers praising its quietness (when new), comfort, and confident dry/wet grip, especially in higher-scoring reviews. Value for money and low rolling resistance/fuel economy are also recurring positives. However, a sizable group report disappointing tread life (sometimes wearing quickly on the front axle) and several note that noise can become very loud as the tyre ages, with some also describing a vague feel/soft sidewalls that reduce steering feedback.

It's a cheap Japanese tyre but not really worth. The poor handling, and wet grip of the tyres had me changed out just after 5000km of usage. I couldn't accept the fact that it have such a poor grip on wet weather condition, which caused the tyre to drift out of the lane and I was lucky not to caught up with other car.

I only used AE50 about 5000km yet into my Nissan E-power Nismo but I think AE50 are nice tyres low noice and with smart grip on the road wet and dry and I believe that these tyres are fuel efficient also and my staering wheel is much more comfortable than before, I believe in Yokohama products

Nice AE50, I have rotation tires every 10k km, current near 90k km & not much heavy noise.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Yokohama BluEarth AE50? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
These lasted 22000 miles on my Nissan leaf.
I now have 2mm tread on all four tyres, except front passenger side which is down to 1.6mm.
Leaf does have design flaw that causes excess tyre wear due to misaligned rear axle that cant be adjusted.
Anyway I think these tyres are not great and so I have decided to go for bridgestone T005 as replacement as these last well on my petrol car.
I cant comment on grip handling etc as those are subjective opinion and I think affected by many factors, I can only judge wear as this is measured regularly in a scientific way.
just change my tires from nexen to yokohama, as far from my experience for this tires for me it has a less amount of noise and very comfortable to drive on dry and wet roads like here in the Philippines. thumbs up for this tires.
Dry and wet grip is good in summer. Aqua-planning during rain is adequate. Value for money for a made in Japan tyre. Only downside is that the sidewalls are soft, not very good for harsh cornering. It's considered a noisy tyre when its new. And it is extremely noisy now (done 30k km)
Silent Tyres with comfortable ride. The road grip is Excellent particularly in wet conditions. The Fuel Economy is good and the Tyres do no wear out quickly. Recommended for both Hatchbacks and Sedans.
Had Autogrip (4 years old though) when I bought the car, they were terrible in the wet and I had to crawl around at low speed . Replaced all four with AE50, what a difference ! These tyres are fantastic for normal day to day driving even in wet weather.
