Technical information
Focus: Eco-standard
The middle ground between economy and an ordinary tyre — Yokohama AE51 sits exactly here. The manufacturer aims to keep fuel consumption low without paying for it with the weaker wet behaviour typical of purely economical models. In practice it is a tyre for drivers who cover a lot of kilometres and do not want to give up much safety along the way.

What owners say
I have had these tyres on my A4 2.0 TDI (177) Quattro for 6 months now and covered 16,000 miles. A good mix of national limit country roads, motorway and round town and in every type of weather from snow to 35 degree heatwave and they are outstanding tyres! They improved my average fuel consumption by 2-3 mpg which is massive when covering 500 miles a week. They are super quiet on the motorway and absorb bumps really well, I have 100% confidence in the wet and dry when cornering hard and I have only marked the feel down slightly as I'm unsure whether its the tyres or the fact I drive a 1.7 ton AWD Audi Estate! Would 100% recommend these tyres to anyone covering distance in mixed conditions who is a moderate to inspired driver!
Very good grip across the various road conditions we get in UK recently. Not intrusive as very low noise levels in the cabin and a consistent ride comfort over the speed range. These provided me with a premium tyre at great value and I’d definitely recommend and use them again.
Bought these in Aug 2023 it's now April 2026 to fit a mitsubishi asx and they are down to 3mm of tread with cracks along the circumference of each front tyre groove.
I expected them to last longer given I drive approx 6/7k miles each yr so at 19000 now.
Found the cabin noise quite intrusive. Been very noisey of late. It was even picked up by an OAP passenger wearing a hearing aid who could only hear a whirring sound from the tyres and thought it was his aids.
Grip has been OK really wet/dry. Had a near miss with a car that suddenly braked going downhill in the dry and skidded right up to them and this is why I got them checked and they said they are legal but need changing because of the cracks around the grooves.
I live on a hill and my drive is inclined so the slightest snow is troublesome for these tyres...just spin and slide.
I cannot recommend them and would not buy again unfirtunately
These tires are an obvious choice with the stunning new Toyota Prius, which has this exclusive format. They haven't caused any grip problems, they perform well on dry and wet surfaces, at reasonable speeds, they are slightly noisy but above all they are now very worn on the front (both sides). I will have to change them within 1000-2000 miles; while at the rear they still have a good thickness, I think they will still have 8-10,000 miles. I will almost certainly buy them again because there is almost no alternative, but it must be said that they are not too expensive.
After a year of testing, the tires have changed, or perhaps the initial "new tire" effect has worn off. Indeed, at 1 year and 5 minutes of wear on the front tires (it's a rear-wheel drive car), the tires perform quite well in dry conditions, but in the wet, they're awful. They're unstable at 100 km/h in a 110 km/h zone, and they slide a lot. I have Michelin Primacy 4 tires on the rear, also with 5 minutes of wear, but less than a year old, and it's a completely different story. The rear end doesn't budge. I won't buy these tires again; they're too dangerous in the rain. I drive a Mercedes C-Class.
