Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Yokohama AE61 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

These tyres are pretty amazing. I live in a place with equally wet and hot weather all year round. The price point for these premium brand tyres is the first thing that caught my eye. Following good online reviews, I decided to try it out. Dry grip is great on my SUV. Managing corners at relatively higher speeds had no issues. The harder side walls made handling the car stable. Steering and handling is responsive and sharp. Braking wise the tyres performed pretty well for the traffic I faced. In the wet weather, I encountered zero aquaplaning situations. The tyres performed exactly as what it was rated as. Of course driving in the rain would be more cautious and slower usually, but for me, it was not too much of a difference between wet and dry. The tyres felt pretty comfortable, however, I personally prefer stiffer suspensions and tyres as my driving style is slightly more aggressive. These tyres definitely felt better than the Alenzas I used which were extremely “bouncy”. Hopefully these tyres are as durable as stated. If it’s true, I’ll definitely buy again. Road noise wise it was pretty unnoticeable for my car. I guess it’s also dependent on how soundproof one’s car is.
The other tyre I was comparing it against with is the Giti P10. Might try that next.

Good tyres but I assume the side wall to stiff and noisy is the minus point . The rest of it I’m happy with it .

When I am look tires for my newly buy used Alphard Hybrid, I was attracted by the ad saying the AE61 is quiet and comfortable. However after trying for 2 months 9000 km. I found it's comfortability and qietness only realize on those newly build road surface. In Japan most road is good but it it not the case in the rest of the world. It is bumpy and noisy on those aged road surface. Grip and handling is ok. Tire wall is too stiff. I will look for another brand after 50k km.
