Any further review on this blue earth AE50 tyre? feedback on the wet, dry, and handling, with the tyre mileage usage?
Running these sized 205/55R16 on my MPV for the past 1mth. Generally as eco tires, and compared against my experience with XM1 & 2, Ecopia EP200 and Dunlop LM704:+ Made in Japan (if it means anything to anyone)
+ no annoying trademark eco-tire squeaks on smooth car park surfaces
+ rolls further when I coast the vehicle
+ wide longitudinal groves disperses water very effortlessly (less tendency to aquaplane)
- possibly due to less rubber contact to the road, there is less road-feedback and a very little less grip compared to the Dunlop that it replaced, which is noticeable during cornering.
I was looking for a quieter comfort based tires (crossing out directional tires), and preferred thicker tire walls to withstand curbing (ruling out most Continentals). Premacy 4 was high on my list after having run on Premacy LC on this vehicle and enjoyed the balance between NVH and ride control, but cannot justify its asking price.
