GalaxiasWilliam pls give your input

I'm using AE50 and that size also at my rear on a FWD Ford Fiesta 1.5 NA AT. For me, it's a really good tire if you're those drive in city alot and normal commute. For me I like to go touge at Genting, Bukit Tinggi, Ulu Yam and such so this tire isn't up to my standards. I've used it for maybe 4 months and it doesn't even show any tearing of rubber although my car tends to lose grip at the rear when going up some turns at Genting. For me because I drive it hard, it isn't for me. HOWEVER the AE50 is a beast at holding itself together, as until now I can't see any thread loss nor does it look used even. Last time go car wash that time, they shine my tires and when I saw it, it looks like somebody changed my tires to new ones!

PM me if you're interested in buying mine as I really dislike it for my purposes.

DISCLAIMER: I touge carefully and not like those videos you see on Facebook. I know my limits and know what's dangerous and what's safe.

how much for yr size?

Ya how much for 205/55/16 ?

Touge kaki Shud go for 205/45/16 for more grip and steering respond, ae50 is more like a comfort and silent tire with good grip at his own class. Clearly u need a different range tire

In other words want me buy tire from you again? Oh, and when I bought the tire that time I read the reviews say gooding, but apparently not gooding enough for touge btw, if I trade in my 2 AE50 and a CPC2 , how much top up for RE003? PM me lai lai

When I bought last time beginning of the year was 310 per donut. If interested, pm me. Mine still 85% condition. Can meet up let you see also.

Hi,

A bit late to respond on this thread. Not too sure if you have got the Yokohama Bluearth AE50 tyres. I have these on my Ford Focus. Size is 205/60 R16, slightly higher profile than the size you are considering.

These tyres are "Earth" tyres which promotes comfort and quietness but the advantage is the excellent performance in aquaplanning. On the wet road, the AE50 will be good as going over puddles of water there is very minimal resistance due to the considerably large grooves. The tyres will just cut through moderately deep puddles of water with the car still retaining the straight line. With other cars on tyres comfort tyres such as Michelin Primacy 3ST or other tyres with small grooves, the tyres may slide when going over puddles of water at the same speed, or the speed of the vehicle considerably reduced the moment the tyres hit the water due to resistance. But not with the AE50.

There is a Taiwanese Youtube video which reviewed several tyres, and the Bluearth AE50 come up tops by achieving the shortest braking distance on a wet road. Braking performance with the AE50 on wet roads or in the rain is excellent.

The tyres are quiet and comfortable too. Going over unevenness on the roads and bumps, the tyres will soak up all the irregularities whereas performance tyres will feel more bumpy and noisier.

The disadvantage of the AE50 is the cornering performance. During cornering at relatively high speed, even on dry road is not as stable as other more performance-orientated tyres. You will feel the steering feedback to be less accurate. The steering feel with the AE50 tyres is not as sharp even when compared to the Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax which is not a performance tyre. But if you are a casual driver, or if you occasionally drive at higher than average speed, this would not be an issue. The tyres still have respectable performance. But if you are one that drives the car as if you are racing in an F1 circuit, then of course there are other tyres that will be more suitable for this purpose.

First of all, thank you for ur feedback..
I've using it nw. Less than 2month oledi 3800km gone..
U're right & I totally agree wif U.

What's ur tyre size and how much you have paid for one piece?

Size 205-55-16
RM300 per pcs included GST

Can you share where you got that price?

Ahaks.. its already mention Bluearth.. so i dont think its up to standard for those who always do touge or trackday.. RE003 suite u better bro for sure, but its treadwear sure will put a whole to ur pocket.. haha..

Dont trade, just sell to other person better pricing for sure.. i did tried to do that before, not worth it.. but then it depend on the tyre size, if its tyre size most car use then u can trade.. if not better sell directly to someone

Yeah, I went with AE50 actually on an impulse and I regretted it like mad now I'm still finding for somebody to sell it to, but I have a pair, not 4 biji so might be harder to sell.

Have a set of 4 on my car, size 215/60/16.
My only comment is its noisy road noise on uneven road.
I wud prefer ecopia 200, much quieter on uneven road.

still possible bro.. try it first.. let see what the tyre shop foreman will say..

noisy on uneven road? eg like concrete pavement road?
