Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Questions and Answers for the Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32

Ask a question
August 20, 2020

Are yokohama bluearth es es32 run flat tyres?

The tyre retailer will note if there are runflat models of the ES32
August 31, 2023

Is the Yokohama Bluearth ES32 a run flat tyre or a conventional tyre?

Conventional, it might have some runflat sizes but they will be clearly marked as runflat by the tyre seller.
January 27, 2026

Hi do these tyres have weak sidewalls and robust enough to handle rough road conditions?

Generally, any tire with efficiency in mind is not as strong as a dedicated all-terrain product. As this is an American market tire, it should be sufficient to handle the average US road and maybe even a bit of last mile dirt track. However, I would not expect this to be the strongest product available to you in your size.

Review Summary

Based on 49 user reviews

Drivers of the Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 largely praise it as a comfortable, quiet, and confidence-inspiring eco-focused tyre for daily driving, with strong wet grip, stable handling, and good value for money. High-scoring reviews frequently note improved ride quality, low noise, and, for many, better fuel economy. While overall wear is mixed, a notable minority report faster tread wear than expected and a drop in wet performance as the tyre wears or on polished/standing-water surfaces. Overall sentiment is solidly positive, with the tyre suiting normal driving rather than high-performance use.

Strengths
  • Ride comfort
  • Low noise/quietness
  • Wet grip and braking
  • Stable handling/straight-line stability
  • Value for money
  • Fuel efficiency
Areas for Improvement
  • Faster tread wear/longevity concerns
  • Wet grip can deteriorate when worn or on polished/standing-water surfaces

Top 3 Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 Reviews

Given 84% while driving a Toyota Prius (215/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 20 easy going miles
A fuel-economy tyre with great comfort credits. This tyre will never please the boy-racer brigade, but some of us regard that as a bonus. On to my second set of these Blue-Earth after over 160,000 km of daily commute and occasional holiday travel. Quiet, comfortable and reliable. Fuel economy is up there with the very best, with wet braking on par with tyres twice the price. Unsure what "Orange Oil" is, it sounds like something I use to remove glue residue. I think these tyres represent great value and I would very much like to recommend them.

Honda Civic (215/50 R17) on mostly town for 0 easy going miles
Recently got a set of 4 tyres Blueearth ES Es32. Changed from Nankang NS25. I was quite content with the Nankangs which I have been using Sep 2022 clocking 44000 km. First thing caught my attention was how quiter the YOKOHAMA compared to the Nankang. Also, the ride felt a touch smoother. Impressed so far, but for a fairer comparison need to use them for at least a year. With Nankangs I never experienced punctures though the Bridgeston that preceeded Nankangs had quite a few incidents.

On my second set of this tyres, I like them. Nothing high performance, and if you want to go as fast as possible therebare probably better choices, but for normal use on a daily driver these are great.

Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
Given 88% while driving a Hyundai Ix20 (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 15,000 easy going miles
First of all, I would like to say that I do my own kind of tuning and the goal is a comfortable ride.
I discovered these tires after trying out all-season tires that were so miserable on the highway that any tire should have been better. Since Christmas was still two months away and I had several highway trips planned, I quickly ordered four Yokohamas and mounted them on the steel rims. For about 30 years, I've been driving tires from reputable manufacturers, but I've never owned a Yokohama.
After 50 km, I knew I'd been driving on the wrong tires for 10 years on the highway. The straight-line stability and ride comfort are excellent. I still hold this opinion now, at the end of the first real summer season and about 15,000 kilometers in. In the meantime, the wheels were fine-tuned for minimal radial runout, and the last imbalance was eliminated with my own balancing machine and balancing powder. I've performed this procedure on many tires before. But with the Yokohamas, the whole process has produced the best result so far.

Given 90% while driving a Fiat 500 (195/50 R15) on mostly town for 10,000 average miles
Love thee tyres - very well suited to Fiat 500 Sport, in 195/50/15 (rather than the factory 185/55/15). Super quiet, great handling wet and dry. Wear rates seem to be fine but car doesnt do huge mileage . Replaced Pirelli P6 and far better tyre - complete over 10k miles on front pair, no issues and only half worn which given a lot of town driving with junctions and roundabouts thats good in my book. Just put a matching pair on the rear axle so happy days

Given 86% while driving a Honda Jazz (195/60 R15) on mostly town for 42,000 easy going miles
I’m using these tyres on my Honda Jazz — admittedly a bit of an overkill for a compact hatchback, but I specifically wanted a wider tyre than the stock 175s. I’ve been extremely pleased with the performance.

For everyday driving, the grip is excellent in both dry and wet conditions — surprisingly, it performs even better in the wet. It handles puddles effortlessly, and the car feels stable and planted on the road. Braking distances are also impressive.

The ride quality is very comfortable overall. If I had to be picky, the last 3,000 km have been slightly less smooth as the tread wore down, but that’s to be expected.

All things considered, this tyre definitely punches above its weight. Given the car I drive and my driving style, I’d absolutely buy it again.

Given 76% while driving a Toyota Toyota Yaris XP150 (195/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 28,000 spirited miles
If there’s ever a reliability scoring here, I would rate these tyres 3/10. My daily commute has a few rough roads and punctures were too frequent compared to other tyres. A fairly hefty potholes were able to damage the sidewalls to the point it can’t be salvaged anymore.

Before I had to change this set because the severity of recent damage, the tyres are actually holding up wear pretty well. I bet it still has 10k km left in it. Dry performance is mediocre as expected from an eco-tyre. Road noise is excellent until it gets rather rough in the last couple of thousand kilometers. Comfort-wise it is better than the OEM tyres (bridgestone turanza) but nothing special.

Wet performance is superb, brilliant, I can’t compliment it enough. The car just doesn’t falter in heavy rain and high speed. Even if there were puddles, it would hydroplane slightly and instantly gripped back again.

Overall, this is a pretty solid tyre if it’s used on smooth, pothole-less roads. It has the advantages of an eco tyre plus a few luxury touches. However not recommended for rough road usages.

Given 96% while driving a Citroën C Elysee (195/65 R15) on mostly town for 50,000 average miles
My vehicle Citroën C-Elysee BLUEHDI 99cv. They are very good tires, they grip very well in dry and wet conditions. Nothing to envy from premium brands, in my opinion Yokohama is as premium or more than the already known ones, Continental, Dunlop, Michelin, Bridgestone etc. And also at a very reasonable price. Without fear there is life and tires after these premium brands so well known by all that are really good but in some cases at an exorbitant price. I am a salesman and I know what I am talking about. In 41 years I have tried many tires with the premium ones you never fail. But my friend the brave thing is to try these less common ones here in Spain. I have had a very pleasant surprise and I will repeat when I have to. Now 32,000 kms and the tread of the front ones at 50% and the rear ones at 70%. Incredible as long as you watch the pressures and take care of the curbs. You have tires for a while.

These tyres are all that I put on my car, they are such a good all round tyre the tyres last really well but you can tell when they are nearing the tread wear depth marker, just about to put my 3rd set on the car, I do a lot of of miles.

I'm using this tire for almost 5 year until the tire get more noisy. My impression for this tire is thedurability is good and the noise quite good for eco tire and for handling was so so as the feedback was not that good but still acceptable

Used for 5 years (seldom drive), in wet still able to drive fast. When new, dry wet grip was great, quite quiet tyre, save fuel not sure about it. But this tyre is not for high speed cornering.
