Review on Yokohama Bluearth-Es ES32 185/65 R15 88H summer by Jnis Pimberis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

Maxxis premitra HP5 tires, size 215/65-16, were used as a benchmark. The cushioning on these initially large, curved wheels makes them more comfortable over rough terrain while yet preserving the suspension. Tire 8000 was all I drove on for a good 1.5 months. There hasn't been much decline so far. In Derbent, where cars are often parked right up against the curb, I once ran into a corner at night and punctured the tire sidewall in two spots, about four to five centimeters apart (the sidewall folded in half). I fixed it in service by adding a patch to the side, and it has lasted for the past three thousand kilometers so far. When they did, I found that the sidewalls were typically quite thin. When I tried to navigate gently in the narrow space, I accidentally drove into the sand, and the wheels quickly dug in. This is likely due to the fact that my car has front-wheel drive and is not an imitation, but the tire was not designed for this. However, it is excellent for use on roadways. As for whether or not I would take it again, it depends on how well the first 25 times were worn.

Pros
  • Made it across the gravels of the Dagestan mountains. The savings are noticeable, although they only amount to 300 ml. per 100 km. Compared to the previous models, this one is quieter and has a more comfortable speed (30 km/h) in terms of noise. I traveled from St. Petersburg to Derbent and the neighboring area when the installation was complete.
Cons
  • The slaps of a little tread made a rumbling sound at 40–60 miles per hour on the concrete, almost like an itch. Manufacturer cost savings are expected to increase once the source of this noise is eliminated. Visually Extremely fragile, and a blow to the side could cause a hernia.
