Review your Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 >

These tyres are great, low noise, comfortable over bumps and no cracks at all after 3 years of driving on them. Braking on dry is good however when the tyre was abit more than halfway worn it started to skid when raining, now they are almost down to the threadwear bars and when raining you might aswell be driving with no brakes, because if you hit the brakes abit harder than normal they start to slide everywhere. But on the other hand they are worn now. They were abit expensive as a tyre, they lasted me 50k kms. Not going to buy them again for the reason of wet grip.

Horrible experience, 2 tyres worn out completely after 20000kms, comfort was good, but noisey tyres. I would never buy them again.

Been on 2nd set of these wonderful tires on my small city ride. Very comfort and silent drive among city lanes, no issue for most condition from dry to wet roads. Don't expect high performance, but normal driving should suit most people with decent comfort and performance. Lasted around 40,000km with average driving style which is good for me.

Dry grip - the tyres performed well without any issue Wet grip - a bit tough. It get the job done but it didn't give me much confidence because it feel the grip is almost there but just maybe. Wear rate - i dont think it cant last long like Goodyear triplemax because softer compound. Comfort - it is more comfort than Goodyear triplemax. The silence is very noticeable. Will buy again? Yes and definitely on my list for next replacement but i will try continental cc6 first to get a proper results.

My driveway is on a mountainside and is steep. My Honda Civic wheel-spun until I fitted these Yokohama tyres. Brilliant, I go up no problem in all weather. Recently I test drove a new German car also front wheel drive. It failed the final test of climbing my driveway!

Excellent in both dry and wet conditions. Also improves fuel consumption. Very comfortable, minimal noise. What is impressive is the water displacement even in rainy condition. I always say that if you see a good spray behind you when driving in the rain, then you tyres are working. For a small family car definitely great value for money.

I've tested these tyres in dry and wet (grippy and slippery surface) conditions. Dry grip and handling are very good, with the tyres having pulled me out of one or two very anxious moments with no squealing or sliding. On a wet and grippy surface, the tyres have not yet let go. On a wet slippery surface, these tyres progress smoothly from full grip through their limit to a full slide. The Swift Sport is prone to understeer and although it breaks away smoothly, there's not a lot of feel at the breakaway point. The overall feel is better than average though. As far as wear goes, I've still got around 6mm after 12500 miles/20000km. The outer edges of the tyre are quite resilient and have good tread in spite of the heavyish cornering I sometimes expose them to. They're very comfortable and quiet especially considering how well they perform. I'm still very happy with them, but I like to change things up and always look to improve, so I would buy them again but not after this set's done.

Just had a fair bit of snow and attempted to use my Golf GTE with Goodyear F1s - I was going nowhere. Resorted to using my son's Golf TSI - utterly brilliant, tyres gave confidence, they gripped really well both in snow but also in slush. Excellent result

Comfort Tyre.. More Comfort Then Michelin PS4.. Honestly.. Good At Dry And Wet Grip For Daily Driven..

The Yokohama ES32 are very good tires for the price. A very progressive feeling, and a good grip even in bad conditions that make you feeling safe when driving. With 10.000 km, they have the same performance as new. The noise inside the car is low (a little better than my old tires Bridgestone/Goodyear). Ideal for my family car.

Purchased a full set of these tyres in February 2019 from Euro*aster who were doing a good deal on the Yokohama ES32. At 34,570 miles I finally fitted them onto my 2012 Skoda Octavia TSi Combi as I use winter tyres from mid November to mid April.
During the summer I toured the Belgian coast and Northern France beside the usual chores that a car has to do. ( I usually cycle to work, hence the low annual mileage of less than 7000! ).

Dry grip is very good, giving confidence around tight corners and braking in an emergency. As good as the original Continental Ecocontact 3's that were fitted when new and the replacement Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance too.

Wet grip is also very good. I cannot understand how some folk say these Yokohama tyres are very poor in the wet. IMHO they are a match for the original Continental's and far better in the wet than the Goodyear's I had fitted previously.

Road Feedback is good, comparable with the Conti's and far better than the vague feeling of the Goodyear's.

Handling is very good. I am not an aggressive driver but on a quite twisty road I like to enjoy myself. The Goodyear's were OK on such roads while the Conti's were very good.

Wear is sadly the only down side to my report. The beginning of October 2019 my Skoda had a full service and MOT at 36,752 miles. After 2200 miles the front tyres were down to 6.4mm at the front and rear's at 6.8mm! The Goodyear's did over 10,000 before reaching such wear levels and the Conti's were also very good.
If I were an aggressive 'press-on' sort at the wheel I could understand such wear levels but I am more of a 'Captain Slow' type of driver as my other cars are a Trabant 601S and a Karmann Ghia Semi-Automatic Coupe!!

Comfort is superb. Far better than the Conti's and ahead of the Goodyear's too.

As for buying again? Well if they were on offer as my original purchase then maybe I would but looking on the Yokohama UK website it would appear that Russian made Skoda Octavia's are fitted with Yokohama BluEarth-A AE-50 tyres so perhaps that's the next choice.

To surmise, Yokohama tyres have come along way since the 1970's when my old gaffer from my engineering apprentice days had a set fitted to his Vauxhall Magnum 2300 Estate. He did 20,000 a year and said the were the work tyres EVER. I am quite happy with Yokohama tyres and would certainly purchase again, even with the wear issue. Besides which the BlueEarth ES32 is recommended by Yokohama for Compact and small family cars. Is the Skoda Octavia Combi such a car?
Perhaps the Yokohama BluEarth-A AE-50 is the one to go for after all.

Fitted a full set to a 2007 Ford Fiesta that we acquired for my son to learn to drive in, replacing a mixed bag of mid range / budget tyres. So far they have offered a very comfortable ride, good corner grip and lower noise levels. The car is only being driven on slower roads in a relaxed style but I feel far happier with a matching set of quality tyres fitted, especially given that with a discount at the tyre depot I was able to get them for £41 each fitted, comparable price to most budget range tyres. The ttread design suggests thy aren't intended to be the sportiest tyre , but small, medium family cars they would appear to be a good option. Will review again later in the years once have more experience
