Hi guys,

Been looking around lately at tyres for my Myvi as i'm planning on changing my stock tyres soon and mostly because i just changed my rims haha. Currently on 185 55 15 Goodyear TMA and i'm planning to go to 195 55's.

So, I came across this tyre Yokohama BluEarth ES32 after looking around alot and there are less reviews in Malaysia but based on reviews from Tyre Reviews UK, it's overall a great tyre. Not noisy, great handling in both wet and dry conditions, great fuel effienciency and long lasting but i would like to hear more from users who have used these tyres in Malaysia.

My choices currently is

1). Yokohama BluEarth ES32

2) Viking Protech PT5 (tempting as its reviews has been good too for cheap tyres but i don't want my tyres to be too noisy)

3) Continental CC6

4) Westlake RP18

5) Michelin PS3

Hope i get the answers i'm looking for biggrin.gif icon_idea.gif

I will go for Yoko rather than PS3. Due to its quietness.

Fitted ES32 on my polo sedan, found it's not as quiet as everyone praised. then recently only i realized ES32 on my car is Extra Load series, meaning it's reinforced to handle higher weight. so this could be the reason why it's not as quiet.
also, ES32 pattern hole are very big, easily accumulates many stones and "glass pieces" into the holes. I hope it won't attract sharp object to pierce into it causing deflation.

Looking at the tread pattern of the Yokohama BluEarth ES32, it is almost the same as the tread pattern of the BluEarth AE50 which I currently have on my car. If the properties or behaviour of the ES32 are almost the same as the AE50, The Yokohama BluEarth ES32 should be a good all-round tyre. It's not exactly a quiet tyre but of average in terms of noise levels. Not too noisy but not too quiet. The main advantage or strength of the BluEarth series is performance in the wet due to the large grooves(total 4) that run along the circumference of the tyres.

Due to these large grooves, the performance in the wet is above average. When you drive your car over large puddles of water, the vehicle will move in a straight line and with uniform speed albeit slightly reduced through the puddle of water. With other cars that are fitted with tyres with smaller grooves, the vehicle speed may be severely reduced when cutting through the puddle of water, and it may not move in a straight line but pulled to the side. Also, braking distance in the wet is also rated to be excellent. With the BluEarth AE50, there was a Taiwanese review on Youtube which pitted several tyres. The AE50 scored the best in registering the shortest braking distance on a wet road.

In summary, if you want good performance in the wet, the BluEarth ES32 (and AE50) is a good option. For dry performance, it is just average as the rubber (of the AE50) is softer than some other tyres. During cornering at higher speed, the stability just loses out slightly to other tyres that are tuned to be better for dry handling. Nevertheless, the BluEarth is still decent in the dry with average to good performance if you don't demand a lot on these tyres. After all, it's an eco-tyre which well- balanced across the board.

Personally my opinion is for the Perodua Myvi, you don't need good handling tyres such as the Michelin PS3 as it's a bit wasted on the vehicle. Just an average performance from mid-range (cheaper) tyres would do. I'm not sure about the price but you may wan to look at the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax if you want better performance in the dry though the price may be higher than the Yokohama BluEarth ES32.

ES32 not same as AE50 bro, ES32 come with 3 grooves only unless it's bigger wider version to cater for 17" 18".
From Google images it seems AE50 thread pattern much tinnier than ES32. I thought the noise level should be much lower on AE50.

I guess these tyres would be a huge bargain then, it costs only RM160 per tyre for 195 55 15's from what i've seen so i'm probably gonna be buying these soon. I'm currently already on Goodyear Triple Max Assurance but the tyres are smaller, which is why i'm changing mine. They are good in dry but they are quite noisy so i'm looking into the Yokohamas. And for Michelin PS3's, they would be a last resort for me unless i have a bigger budget, i wouldn't mind getting them straight hehe. Thanks for the advice, looking forward to changing my tyres now.

I see, is there only the Extra Load series or theres another series? What is your opinion on the performance on these tyre's after driving them?

not sure, i think other size most probably will be normal load. for me my 185/60/R15 usually it's 84H or 84V, but this model Extra Load it's rated @ 88H.
been 3k since changing, outstation twice. so far dry and wet gripping ok (in fact so far i never encounter slippery throughout my driving maybe due to slow driving). but i think sidewall is a bit softer so cornering would feel more body roll.

Yes, I am aware that the ES32 is not a carbon copy of the AE50 but the tread pattern is quite similar especially the "lightning" zig-zag" lines running along the circumference of the tyres.

From the photos on the internet, there are 4 grooves running along the circumference of the Bluearth ES32. One of the pictures taken from CarSifu review is as below.

user posted image

Maybe the ES32 is slightly noisier than the AE50 as the small short lines at the centre of the tyre perpendicular to the direction of the tyre is fatter (larger groove) than the tiny lines on the AE50. In terms of performance I suspect they should be roughly the same.

RM160 for the Bluearth ES32 195 55/R15 appears to be rather affordable. Or perhaps tyres on 15" rims are usually priced around this range. For my 205 60/R16, the price of the Bluearth AE50 was RM295 or 298. That was about 2 years ago.

If you don't care about noise (or price) then Michelin PS3 would be good since the performance and handling were touted to be the best in the class. Though I believe comfort and noise levels would be poor even when compared to mid-range tyres such as your previous Goodyear Triplemax and the ES32 due to the tread pattern on the tyres. The PS3 will have even better wet handling than the ES32 and AE50 due to the larger grooves on the tyres. It's so big that you can even put your thumb inside the groove, I think. Have a look at the tread of the PS3 below.

user posted image

Look at how wide and deep the main grooves running along the circumference of the PS3 are. In contrary, look at the photo below which shows an example of a quiet tyre, the Michelin Primacy 3ST. Look at how thin the main grooves are when compared to the PS3.

user posted image

In summary, it depends on what you want. If you want just performance and don't care about noise, the PS3 will be good but as I said earlier, on the Myvi my opinion is you don't really need the PS3 as the mid-range tyres would be good enough. If you want a good combination of quiet/comfort and performance, the ES32 and Goodyear Assurance Triple Max are good choices. Very quiet and comfortable, look at the Michelin Primacy 3ST or other quiet types (usually with small tiny grooves sort of tread pattern) but handling especially in the wet will be quite compromised. However, that is not an issue with most people who drive at sensible speeds.

If you're planning to go with 195/55/15 and since you're looking for great handling AND quietness, then I'd suggest to get the Hankook V12 Evo 2. If you want great handling in both dry & wet, all the tires in your list except PS3 would not be really in that category, while PS3 even though great handling especially in the wet but to some people it's a bit noisy (even though to me it's still fine), and of course very expensive. Now this V12E2 is on the same level of performance as PS3, maybe even better in the dry with just slightly less in the aquaplaning resistance BUT it also has the rare combination of being relatively quiet for UHP tire category, plus it's way much cheaper too (only around rm170-180/pc for this size), hence best value for money as of now. FYI, in the latest test in the US, this V12E2 was compared to the big 4 top performance tires of the world: PS4S (not just PS4 ya), Continental Extreme Contact Sport (similar to CSC6), the latest Pirelli P Zero PZ4, and Goodyear F1A3. Surprisingly at least this humble much cheaper V12E2 can beat the F1A3 even though not the other big 3 (but it's in the ball park already)! Note also in that test, this V12E2 came out as the most silent, only registering a very low 66db which is extraordinary even if for mid range comfort level tires, never mind UHP tires! I'm also currently using both V12E2 and PS3, and I can concur with that test finding that at least this V12E2 is a very good tire indeed!

Below is the link of the test result done by the popular Car & Driver magazine in the US:

Probably the construction and materials is made to withstand higher load and temperature that can be reached as the speed gets higher.

i bought this es32 for my gf's myvi, can't really tell the performance because i have it on the rear only

Kumho PS31 is not that good actually, not even true UHP tire (despite Kumho claiming it to be). PS3 is no doubt way much better. Also sometimes Kumho in general got quality issues, already seen a few reports of Kumho getting pregnant/bulging. Hopefully won't happen on yours.

well i have personally tried it in genting, i guess for less than half the price i could just get another pair if anything happens

considering my ps3s grip fell dramtically after 50%

If anything happens then just buy different tires la. laugh.gif
Once tires is below 50% of course the grip will drop, that happens for all tires.

Recently just change my myvi 175/65/14 up size to Yokohama es32 185/60/14 .

While maintenaning the same recommended tyre inflation pressure stated near the door frame (31psi), the new tyres seems appear "under-inflated" compared to my previous tyre. Is it Yokohama rubber is softer than my previous set ecopia200?

Should I increase the inflation pressure futther since the tyre width is change d from 175 to 185?

How much should I increase though the 31psi recommended tyre inflation pressure is set for some reason.........

175/65R14 changing to 185/60R14 wasn't an upsize. In fact it was the reverse.

OD for your ori size is slightly bigger than your current size.

Personally, not much difference in handling.
Perhaps I'm have not been squeezing my tyre performance since I own my car......can't feel anything significant.

Anyway, it seems softer compared to previous ep200.

Perhaps I misunderstand and shouldn't use "upsize" wording here...
My intended question was whether to increase the psi further if to use wider size of tyre (185/60R14 vs 175/65R14)?

Just ask latest price for Kelisa 165/55/R14 ES32 @ RM140/pcs (No GST)
Fitted 2 pcs at March 18 this year (RM300 all in with GST), no complain and quite like the comfort and quietness. Previous using Maxxis but it is harden after few years of using, so road noise is unacceptable for me.

I guess these tyres would be a huge bargain then, it costs only RM160 per tyre for 195 55 15's from what i've seen so i'm probably gonna be buying these soon. I'm currently already on Goodyear Triple Max Assurance but the tyres are smaller, which is why i'm changing mine. They are good in dry but they are quite noisy so i'm looking into the Yokohamas. And for Michelin PS3's, they would be a last resort for me unless i have a bigger budget, i wouldn't mind getting them straight hehe. Thanks for the advice, looking forward to changing my tyres now.

Mind to share which shop, you get the price at rm160?? Thanks

I just purchased and installed 4 units of Yokohama BluEarth ES32 for my Honda City 175/65R15 at RM188 per donut at Quick-save Auto, USJ 7. Price included installation, balancing and alignment. Rubber valve RM5 each.

Initially wanted to change to either Toyo nanoenergy 3 or Michelin XM2, thinking to catch better price before SST kicks in. I called up this shop to check if they sell either Toyo or Michelin. The guy recommended me Yokohama ES32 instead even though they carry Michelin as well. Before that, I came across some Yokohama tyres, but couldn’t find much reviews about them here. So i re-did a quick research and found it’s a fairly new tyre model, the features are close to what I was looking as well, and the prices are well within my budget range. Albeit the tyres were produced on week 51 2017, it’s acceptable and not a concern for me. The shop is nearby my workplace, so i made an impromptu decision to get all 4 changed, one of the reasons is because the other 2 brands’ shops were not near to where i live and work. The other reason of course is the price, Toyo’s prices are not that far off, Michelin was slightly higher. But I came across many mixed reviews about XM2, so I was hesitant a bit.

My car stock tyres were Goodyear GT3. They served me well for the past 3 years, clocked around 42k mileage. But i find them too noisy and the grip was poor especially on wet road condition. When taking corners, i feel like my car was gonna fly off somewhere. Not sure if it’s because the tyres are new, with ES32, the grip is noticeably much better, noise level is reduced, the overall driving comfort has improved. Comparing ES32’s treadwear with Nanoenergy 3 and XM2, they are indeed lesser. But in the end, it still depends on your driving style and how often you take care of the tyres. Hopefully my new tyres can serve me for at least 2 years, I’m happy with them, for now hahaha..

Hmm, why you not doing upsize to 185/60/R15 or even 195/55/R15? Wider tyre more roadholding and lower profile a bit feels stable..

Original size will always bring the best balance between fuel economy & comfort, if the owner is not doing high speed corners 175/65/R15 should be no issue.
Besides that, original rim width may not be suitable to install wider tires; if tires too wide compare to the rim also will impact the car handling.

I am not sure what you want, but BluEarth series are made for environment friendly & fuel efficiency in mind.

My switch from Maxxis to Yokohoma for Kelisa (165/55/R14) manage to get around 5~10% improvement in term of mileage/fuel economy for a full tank of fuel.

I’m using my original rim, i am also no expert in tyres, it’s better i stick to the original size to avoid any unnecessary issues. But in future when i change my rims and tyres, i will definitely consider getting wider width, bigger rim size and lower profile tyres.

This is the fourth gen Honda City right (year 2002-2008)? If that's the case, actually can use 195/55/15 and best to buy the Hankook V12 Evo2, much better than all those tires you have mentioned and bought while being about the same price or even cheaper! I bought exactly that same size for only rm170/pc just over a month ago.

Bro, you are comparing 2 different tire category.

Hankook V12 Evo 2 is UHP Summer tire
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Hankook/...us-V12-evo2.htm

Yokohama BluEarth ES32 is Premium Touring Summer tire
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Yokohama...rth-Es-ES32.htm

Not all people are like you going around fast corners or performance orientated.
If normal person like me who enjoy comfort drive with good fuel efficiency i will always choose the tire range that suit me.

If you want a direct competition against your tire choice, Yokohama Advan (Neova/Fleva) range should be suitable for that.

I know those are 2 different categories. The thing is the V12E2 is also comfortable with soft sidewall and silent (tested 67db noise level only), just like those mid-range touring tires. So with this tire you have better performance grip while not sacrificing those comfort criteria, plus the durability is also pretty good. That's why it's the better option even for those who prioritize comfort.

Bro, performance tire sure got better grip but still you will still loss in term of fuel efficiency & comfort as V12E2 is built for performance at first.

Lets compare 195/50/R15 via blackcircles website

https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/brands/h...-v12-evo-2-k120

Hankook Euro Tyre Label Rating

Fuel Efficiency - E , Wet Grip - B, Noise - 71Db

https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/brands/y...a/bluearth-es32

Yokohama Euro Tyre Label Rating

Fuel Efficiency - C , Wet Grip - B, Noise - 68Db

For other size Hankook V12E2 can get better wet grip, but still fuel efficiency rating & noise level still unable to compete againts Yokohama as Yokohama design this tire for fuel efficiency & comfort.

As I said, the V12E2 actually has been tested to just produce 67db noise level instead of the rating of 71db that you stated above. That 67db puts it on par with most mid-range silent tires already. Even though maybe still a tad more noisy and maybe consume a bit more fuel but the difference should be marginal compared to noticeably higher performance grip that it provides, hence IMO give & take, the V12E2 provides the better balance of all criteria while costing as cheap if not cheaper too. Anyway different people may have different views on what is the better "balance" of those criteria, so yeah can be subjective too.

I am not sure how you get your noise level, but from my experience these noise level provided by tire makers are taken in lab test and consider external noise not in car environment.
If the tire noise at outside is louder, for sure in car environment is more quieter due to noise insulation.
Anyway you do have your opinion in term of hankook tires, but take note that not all people are fancy about performance tire as each tire type also got their pro & con.
In the end is about the owner want to choose more comfort, fuel efficient base tire or performance type tires, there is no single tire model which can satisfy all people.

That one was tested last year by Car & Driver magazine. I'm also using that tire now and I do concur that it's pretty silent.
Yes there's always pro & con, nothing is perfect but we try to get the most balanced criteria for street tires. I do admit that I focus a lot more on performance aspect but if we can get noticeably higher performance with marginal sacrifice in comfort then that should be like an icing on the cake already, especially since performance is more about grip and grip is the main function of tires as it provides extra safety margin, hence why I prioritize this aspect more than the others.

just sit my colleague's car with Yokohama Advan Fleva. That tyre is so unbearable noisy even on 20km/h gliding, it's like car without sound insulation. He said it's already noisy like this since new.
I would've choose silent comfort low performance tyre over high performance noisy tyre, unless drive with ear buds, lol.

I'm using CC6 on Myvi as well for around 6months now.
I agree that it is quiet.
On top of that the tyre is soft as I feel my car being less bumpy when going over uneven roads.

Other stuff like grip etc I can't comment because I drive only around 50-60 on city roads.
No hard cornerings. So didn't really push the tyres before.

Well I'm not sure about the Fleva and I never recommended that also since there is the V12E2. smile.gif The V12E2 on the other hand is silent to me.

Cc6 is one of the best comfort tyres I have used. I'm running on cc6 195/55/15 on my myvi for almost 2 years now. It is quiet but does get noisy when you drive above 110 but it's still tolerable.

Grip wise, its more than sufficient for normal use. Dry grip is pretty good for comfort tyres. Wet grip, as long as you don't push the car, it's okay. Always remember to pump with the correct tyre pressure. I once pumped 35 or 36 psi can't really recall and I skidded on jalan Travers. Well the road was damp and I was pushing the car so that contributed to the skid as well.

Overall, 9/10 for cc6, in my opinion.

CC6 only more towards comfort & reducing road noise.. As per what you mention, the grip is not that great if compare with others.. I also been in limbo of choosing between the CC6 & ES32 for the Kelisa, but after after some review & feedback from few tire shop i decided to go for Yokohama as they really did a good job with the pricing range & quality lately. Not sure how much SST will impact, but the price for sure is worth the spend.

It’s been more than 20 days since the installation of ES32. Just today I managed to drive in heavy rain. I must say the wet grip is rather good on both asphalt and cement. When I was still using the stock tyres which were Goodyear gt3, i have had experiences where my car skidded on both road types, and the tyres were pretty new as well. I don’t speed during the rain, I usually drive between 40-70km/h max on the highway during the rain. So you can imagine how I felt when my car skidded when i was driving in a rather normal speed. With ES32, i feel i can go above 90km/h but due to safety reason, I didn’t try, but i was already driving above 80km/h. You can really feel that your tyres grip well when driving on the road in the rain, if you know what i mean. And driving on the cement with ES32, never once i have to worry, i can’t say the same for goodyear gt3, i have lost count on the number of times my car skidded (usually when the floor is wet) when going to my carpark bay at my condo while driving less than 20km/h 🤦🏻‍♀️.

As for fuel efficiency wise, i didn’t see much difference. I’m driving a honda city 2015 manufacture year. I do not turn on econ mode, average fuel consumption is 14.8km/l, which is similar like last time. But i noticed 1 thing, i think the rolling resistance is not as low as they claimed, but I am comparing between ES32 and GT3. This isn’t much of a concern, the tyres are doing quite a good job for me for now.

In terms of comfort, I’d say it’s pretty good too. Like when passing a speed bump, it’s less bumpy. Driving feels more comfy. And the noise is noticeably lesser.

I noticed a few suggestions above by other posters. When i was looking for a tyre, i was only looking for an eco + comfort tyre, but didn’t want a very soft tyre like continental, they can wear out too fast also. Wasn’t looking for performance tyre as i don’t really speed nor harsh cornering. Even though i do speed from time to time but nothing extreme, I’m mostly a well behaved and responsible driver on the road.

It’s been more than 20 days since the installation of ES32. Just today I managed to drive in heavy rain. I must say the wet grip is rather good on both asphalt and cement. When I was still using the stock tyres which were Goodyear gt3, i have had experiences where my car skidded on both road types, and the tyres were pretty new as well. I don’t speed during the rain, I usually drive between 40-70km/h max on the highway during the rain. So you can imagine how I felt when my car skidded when i was driving in a rather normal speed. With ES32, i feel i can go above 90km/h but due to safety reason, I didn’t try, but i was already driving above 80km/h. You can really feel that your tyres grip well when driving on the road in the rain, if you know what i mean. And driving on the cement with ES32, never once i have to worry, i can’t say the same for goodyear gt3, i have lost count on the number of times my car skidded (usually when the floor is wet) when going to my carpark bay at my condo while driving less than 20km/h 🤦🏻‍♀️.

CC6 only more towards comfort & reducing road noise.. As per what you mention, the grip is not that great if compare with others.. I also been in limbo of choosing between the CC6 & ES32 for the Kelisa, but after after some review & feedback from few tire shop i decided to go for Yokohama as they really did a good job with the pricing range & quality lately. Not sure how much SST will impact, but the price for sure is worth the spend.

Yup. Grip can't compare with other tyres but it's sufficient for my driving style. How much does the es32 cost nowadays?

For your reference, last i ask around MYR140 for 165/55/R14 Kelisa size during SST/GST 0% (Only tire price)
I believe the price might went up from 5~10% now due to SST & depending on size, the price may varies also.

Even though ES32 is not the cheapest, but also not as expensive as Michelin XM2. Yokohama brand is very well established as well. I really do think it’s value for money, and ES32 are a well rounded tyre for normal driving style. If it’s within your budget range, it’s good to have a try. After all, we will have to change the tyres after 2 years (depending on your driving style), there are many other brands and models to try out if this doesn’t suit your driving style.

175/65R15 at RM188 per donut. I installed in USJ. My size is rare size so it’s slightly expensive, i think only Honda City and Jazz use this size.

Well, this es32 got a lot of positive reviews. It looks like a very good upgrade over the old blue earth model. Price seems reasonable too. Like what @chezza said, it's a well rounded tyre for normal daily driving.

It's not so much speeding or being irresponsible driver but a good set of high performance tires actually brings up the level of safety margin by providing more grip in the wet and dry while being more controllable as well when approaching and over the limit of grip (which you may have to face when faced with emergency maneuver situations). smile.gif

A tire shop in Seremban quoted RM185 for 195/55R15 Yokohama ES32 .
Is this good price?
I am deciding between ES32 and Goodyear ATM2.
After visiting a number of tire shops, finally got 1 sell ES32 (mentioned above). As for ATM2, still not found yet. Most of the shops sell entry-level tire like NCT5 and GT3. Even Duraplus also don't have , he say NEED TO ORDER ! Not to mention F1D5 and F1A3.

Concerning the Future Use of
Orange Oil Tire Compound
The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. will revise its use of Orange Oil compound contained in certain tire products since it can achieve the same performance with another material. In line with this, products currently using Orange Oil will switch to a different material altogether or employ a mix of the new material together with the oil. This change will be brought into effect gradually from January 2019. Note that the change will not affect tire performance in any way.

No more Orange Tyres.

Review:

Compared with old c-drive2 (still have 25% tread depth i think),

1) ES32 is quieter (perhaps because of new tire? IDK )
2) C-drive2 cornering better despite not much tread left

Haven't got chance to test on wet roads or puddles. Will update later.

1) tight budget. But don't want cap ayam.
2) distance. I know KL/shah alam can get cheap, but not worth the time and toll money.

If C-drive2 is still available I will still choose it.

Some sizes are made in Japan while some are from Philippines......and may have same size from both Phi or Japan. I guess it's due to capacity or how busy are the plants in Japan and Phi. I'm sure there would be the ES32 molds in both the countries as they need to meet the demands of this ES32 from many countries around the globe.

Ya.....C-Drive2 used to be mid level range. Possibly better handling performance than the ES32. However, nowadays all brands are looking into environmental friendly tyres, therefore you probably get better performance in terms of noise, comfort or fuel saving from the ES32. I think so.

Changed my CC5 to ES32 on all 4 wheels on my myvi with size 185/60/14, a 10mm wider than stock 175/65. Initial feeling is the road feedback is good, noise is slightly softer than my worn out CC5. Will return with review after weeks of driving.

you're using wider profile now, expect a few minor % incremental of noise level.

Hi, just dropping my review of es32 Tyre

I'm using Accord 2004 with 215 60 r16 tyres. Doing a lot of highway driving.
Changed from cc6 with about 30% left to es32. Main reason is the cc6 very easy to aquaplane during wet weather on highway at the current wear suspected due to cc6 thinner longkang.
Choose es32 because it seem to be global Tyre which able to find overseas reviews on it and the longkang is much wider than cc6

After using more than half year, sound seems similar compared to old cc6, but very little aquaplane on highway rain driving. Conclusion is cc6 is ok for normal City driving should be very quiet and comfortable. But long distance can't control weather surface would much prefer es32 less ap in wet. No regret just around 300 each for 4 pcs 215 60r16.

Unscientific experience
Old cc6, highway normal rain 120 will ap, heavy rain 90 will ap.
New es32, highway normal and heavy rain 110 is no problem.

Still letting the tyre to sit in, but I do like the its grip aspects though. Can't get to test the tyre in wet road yet, looking at all reviews, I'm confident it's a good tyre for wet roads.

Hi, just dropping my review of es32 Tyre

I'm using Accord 2004 with 215 60 r16 tyres. Doing a lot of highway driving.
Changed from cc6 with about 30% left to es32. Main reason is the cc6 very easy to aquaplane during wet weather on highway at the current wear suspected due to cc6 thinner longkang.
Choose es32 because it seem to be global Tyre which able to find overseas reviews on it and the longkang is much wider than cc6

After using more than half year, sound seems similar compared to old cc6, but very little aquaplane on highway rain driving. Conclusion is cc6 is ok for normal City driving should be very quiet and comfortable. But long distance can't control weather surface would much prefer es32 less ap in wet. No regret just around 300 each for 4 pcs 215 60r16.

Unscientific experience
Old cc6, highway normal rain 120 will ap, heavy rain 90 will ap.
New es32, highway normal and heavy rain 110 is no problem.

sounds good.. how is the performance now after few mths?

Changed my CC5 to ES32 on all 4 wheels on my myvi with size 185/60/14, a 10mm  wider than stock 175/65. Initial feeling is the road feedback is good, noise is slightly softer than my worn out CC5. Will return with review after weeks of driving.

Hit 5.6k mileage currently, it's better compared to Continental CC5. Wet grip is awesome, road noise is noisier but bearable.

Was quoted rm140/pc for 185/60/14, including installation, labour, rubber valve, alignment, balancing. Should be good price I think?

Cheap, i agree. I usually find 160-170 prices for the same Yokohama model. It's cheaper of course if I look for Bridgestone ecopia or Dunlop j5 instead.

Wow that's cheap by far for this tyre. Typically quoted around RM170-200. Where is this shop? Are the tyres manufacturing year 2019 or older?

You can contact yokohama and ask them to locate the nearest dealer to you. Other option is buy online and get it fix at your tyre shop.

All SIFU, I working sales,average run 200km per day. Finding for nice threadwear and good for wet as well. Anyone recommended for 195/50/15 (myvi)?

1) Toyo Neo3
2) Toyo TR1
3) Yokohama bluEarth ES32
4) Yokohama Advan Fleva v701

Which one better for work as sales ,also for safety? Budget not really enough

Previously used before :
1) Bridgestone RE003 ( 8 months threadwear finish soon) - X
2) Michelin PS3 ( 1yr and 3- 5months - Very good tyre but no budget for this now
3) Maxxis ipro - 6 months like gg soon

Go for either Neo3 or ES32 or Goodyear Triplemax. Also, run away from Continentals if thread wear is most of your concerns.

Dont buy Japanese brands if you are more concerned about mileage. I have used a set of V701 and I'm quite satisfied with it. However it only lasted 30,000++ KM. Japanese brands are usually a mixed bag of everything thus it wears out quite fast to be honest.

You may want to try hankook ventus v12 evo2. Should last the same length as your PS3 as they have similar threadwear rating. Similar performance with ps3 but much cheaper. I'm using it on my myvi too. Can get it for rm165 for 195/55/15. Your size should be same price or cheaper

Based on your list
Tr1 - better performance than re003, should last longer than the re003 but shorter than ps3 Price around rm170-rm190

Neo - this aren't high performance tyre. It has higher threadwear but you have to sacrifice grip for this.

Yoko Blue earth - not a high performance tyre, but it gives better grip than the neo. It's a good all round tyre. But in terms of grip, can't match ps3.

Advan fleva - high performance tyre, good in dry and wet but got mixed reviews so far.

If you really want good grip in dry and wet, you can consider the hankook ventus v12 evo2. The performance you get from the price is really worth it.

If not, from the list above, I'd suggest advan fleva, tr1 and blue earth, in that order.

Bro, if want long life tire. You should look at Indonesian or Indian tires. Hankook for me is out due to higher budget compare to like Apollo or GITI tires if just want to last long.
Even Falken tires did better compare to Hankook if just for that.
Japanese tires mostly comfort first, safety and last only long lasting.
As long lasting tires usually grip is less due to low resistant or harder compound and you will sacrifice braking performance, high speed and cornering stability.

Want long life tyre look at the Goodyear Duraplus lo.
I have driven the previous Blueeearth at about the same size and in a myvi V2 it gave much better fuel economy than the Michelin xm2. They're relatively inexpensive compared to xm2 and lasted about 50k before I changed.

Hi.. I am deciding for my 195/55/15.
My main concern is wet grip, going through puddles esp. Previously I had good experience with Yoko (cant remember C drive or A drive).


Not sure to choose between yoko Es32 (rm155), conti cc6 (Rm170) and Dunlop D06 (RM160). Which one better?

At this price point, wouldn't the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 or Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 be better?

Review:

Compared with old c-drive2 (still have 25% tread depth i think),

1) ES32 is quieter (perhaps because of new tire? IDK )
2) C-drive2 cornering better despite not much tread left

Haven't got chance to test on wet roads or puddles. Will update later.

Hi,

My car is Nissan AD Resort (wagon) and it has stiff suspension. Basically I can't feel any difference in shock absorbing ability.
Also can't tell any difference in noise. Maybe it has become noisier but I just don't bother about it because the wind noise is louder LOL.

Fitted ES32 on my polo sedan, found it's not as quiet as everyone praised. then recently only i realized ES32 on my car is Extra Load series, meaning it's reinforced to handle higher weight. so this could be the reason why it's not as quiet.
also, ES32 pattern hole are very big, easily accumulates many stones and "glass pieces" into the holes. I hope it won't attract sharp object to pierce into it causing deflation.

If you want silent then it has to be soft. And when you have soft tyre, it will wear out quicker.

That's the thing you have to give up for silence. If you get a hard tyre, sure it will last longer but it will be noisy and bad wet grip.

It's alll about which one is your priority.

Used almost 40k on my Kelisa (165/55/R14) for a duration of 2 years plus with mix normal & spirited driving. Conclusion very good for a budget range tire, meet most of my expectation with more silent & comfort drive (My previous tires is Dunlop SP Sport J5 + Maxxis). The only problem (expected) i found is the side wall is a bit too soft for hard cornering, so it is more preferable for normal drive. Would i purchase another set to replace.. Yes! thumbup.gif

Softer tire for sure will attract a lot of stones, if you want to remove the stones you can just purchase stone removal hook for tires via online platform like Lazada or Shoppee. Come with a lot of names like Tire Cleaning Hook, Car Tire Clear Stone Hook, etc..

As per mentioned by @abubin, softer tires provide better grip and silent drive but con is faster wear and attract more stones. This is not a sport or hardcore tires, so you will need to take care for it.

Bought 4 tyre (Rm161pre tyre) last September from shopee for myvi lagi best 175/65r14. I wouldn't say i speed, I usually follow the flow of traffic. Comparing to stock tyres which were goodyear dp-d1 aka/or duraplus, I would say is definitely more comfortable like little bit bouncy in a way and maybe a little bit quieter but on the highway I can definitely
hear the road and wind noise. Personally I feel the grip is good for how i drive. Highway 80-110kmh. In the rain i go <80kmh so can't really comment. I would have bought cc6 but since the comments on lowyat weren't good i decided to buy es32, i do not regret my decision.

Driving W204 C-class with front 225/45R17 and rear 245/40R17.
Rear size a bit difficult to find. Was planning for Primacy4 but rear no such size.
So a few choices here. What are the reviews for these?
RE003 scare noisy n hard,
PS4 expensive,
Yoko ES32 maybe?

I met 1 mazda 3 owner not long ago also change all 4 tires with Yoko Es32, no regret from him also.

If you want better comfort & silent tires from Yoko, it is the Advan Db V552 model.
That model is imported from Japan and price should be near & lower compare to Michelin Primacy 4.

That size still pretty common actually.
Get Goodyear F1 Sport, better in the wet, last longer and should be more silent than RE003, cheaper than PS4, surely better overall than ES32 or Primacy 4.

Better in term of performance as F1 sport is under UHP tire, if about comfort or silent it will be another story.
Different tires model got different purpose to suit different driver needs.

Many UHP tires now can already closely match comfort and silence of touring tires. Based on what I heard, the F1S is entry level UHP which is softer and more silent than PS4 so should be pretty close to touring tires too. My experience with the higher UHP and older F1A2 was already pretty comfortable and silent.

UHP tires tend to have stiffer sidewall & rubber compound which is more sticky or grip on the road.
These 2 will impact comfort, fuel economy and also the tire noise especially on bad road condition.
Even with new treads design in reducing tire noise, still it will got some gap between UHP & comfort base tires which are design purposely for different group of people.

If you want to go more towards all rounder the suitable model from Goodyear should be Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 or comfort base like EfficientGrip model.

TyreReview tests mentioned that the Asymmetric 5 feels more sportier than the PS4, with the PS4 being considered as an all rounder with performance and comfort in mind.

F1A5 is a half a class higher than F1S! F1A5 is line ball match up with PS4. Not all UHP have stiff sidewall, some actually a bit soft too like V12E2 and some actually matching the silence of touring category like V12E2 and F1A2/3. Fuel economy differences is negligible.

Alright. I've changed my tyres to Yokohama ES32 Extra Load and made in Japan. 185/60/R15. 2014 City.

Previously, was using Toyo NE03, same size. Been using this set for around 4 years ++

After changing all 4 donuts and with two days of usage, which is basically right after the change, at low speeds zig zagging around tamans and town, they're pretty quiet with good response. Over the bumps, it's quite firm. Not as bounciful as the previous set of NE03. I believe it is due to being an Extra Load model. Boring drive right? Yes, it is. Any tyres can achieve the same.

Alright then. Let's talk about the highway drive:
1) Dry
Tried going at 150kmh and I couldn't believe that the car was pretty stable at that speed and damn, it really gives you the confidence in going faster. I tried it our for just a short while tho. Additionally, when at those PLUS highway interchanges, cornering was not so great when going at 90kmh. At 70kmh, it was stable and a normal drive. But of course, let not forget that these tyres are Eco tyres.

If compared to NE03, by 130kmh, the car would be floating up and down. You could really feel it. Next, fear sets in and you're back at 110-120kmh.

OK, this is what everyone has been waiting for...

2) Wet (Raining)
Drove at 120kmh. Wasn't raining heavily, but heavier than a drizzle and you know that the road was already soaking wet. Car was stable which really gives you the confidence. However... I just didn't have the guts to go any higher. Braking in the wet was good too.

As compared to NE03, I had the guts to go at 120kmh when the tyres were new. But just didn't have the guts anymore after it being 4 years old.

Alright, in summary, I believe this set of tyres are less floaty than my previous set of NE03 is due to it being an Extra Load model, which I believe the sidewalls are thicker to handle heavier loads. And I think this led it into being more stable and less floaty.

Noise wise... Good, think it's slightly noisier than the NE03 but difference ain't noticeable.

Going over undulations... Less comfy when going over undulations because of the thicker sidewalls (I guess). Pssst... But I believe this also contributed to it being more stable at highway speeds. Higher also no problem.

I'll try updating after 1 year down the road.

Installed this tyres on my axia after my previous Silverstone gave up the ghost. Rm120 perpiece for 175/65/14. Can say it's quiet for their price range. Offcourse cannot compared to my other D segment on Primacy 4 but surprised that ES32 not really popular model here. Alot shops promoting the Hankook, Michelin's, Silverstone more. Grip aside, cannot expect it to perform miracles on the budget wise. So far happy with it.

I got quote of 140 MYR/pc for 175/65/R14.
Shop is DU star Damansara Perdana.

Cannot find shop that sell it less than that.
Compared to XM2+ which goes for around 175 MYR/pc, should I go for that instead?

My current tyre is Nexen HD plus, but I would like something that can absorb more bump than that while being safe on wet road.

This tyre quite is gooding. Got it for rm155/piece replacing Goodyear assurance. With low expectations coz I'm torn to cc6 at first but somehow this tyre exceed my expectation.

I think Goodyear assurance is 0.5% better performance but this es32 is 50% more silent than Goodyear.

Really good all-rounder tire

Guys, Yokohama tires been on the price up recently. Just ask about Kelisa tire price yesterday and for size 165/55/R14 new 2021 stock price almost up RM20/pcs (MYR150 -> MYR170/pcs). For those shop still having old stock 2020 year 1 can consider it if still selling old price.

I'm looking to change tyres for my Axia 175/65R14.

Looking at CC6 but found in Shopee selling ES32 in roughly the same price range ( difference less than RM10 per tyre ).

Mostly limited to city driving and low mileage.

Opinion between CC6 vs E32?

Just changed from Axia stock tyres to ES32 for RM155 before tyre price hike.

I need to ask tho, if let's say for Axia (stock rims), what tyre pressure do you guys maintain?

Previously I follow Perodua's recommendation at 250kPA / 36 psi for their stock tyres, now the mechanic recommend me to maintain air pressure at 210kPa / 30 psi.

Same size as original. It's just that googling shows a lot of people say Perodua's recommendation of 250kPa / 36psi for Axia is a bit too high. I guess I will try it out and see how it performs. Thanks for the reply.

When u pump whilst hot it will drop further by 20 to 30kpa once ot cool down. So the simple answer is 250 when hot will still nice when it cools down to say 220 230.

Slightly more air is ok. Underinflated tyre makan minyak.

Yeah, thanks for this significant tip. Also saw some websites mentioning this.

Just to share, I switched from 210kPa to 230kPa (cold pressure) for my Axia stock rims, and it feels noticeably better, tyres turn better, and more responsive in general.

I think I am gonna try increasing to 240kPa next petrol refill to see how it performs.

Yesterday change at Sheng Tyre Shop at Taman Sri Sinar.
1 about RM150 addon RM10 with alloy valve total RM160 comes with free balancing & alignment.

Tyre is too fresh ... 😑😑😑 production date 4721.

No choice tyre shortage.

Wet did not try yet but the tyre is more silent compare with Goodyear ATM. But I think silent not on par with XM2/CC6.

I changed from ES32 to XM2+ 2 years back, comparing when new XM2+ is very impressive zero noise and I'm hearing my car suspension piss piss when driving 80-100kph, yes car soundproof not good you may say. While ES32 when new that time I feel it's not so quiet, not up to my expectation, coz many years back father used Yokohama I think Aspec A300 it was very very silent and comfort so we love it.

Now after 2 years of XM2+ with less driving due to MCO and interstate travel ban, it wasn't as quiet as new, I think just slightly quiet than new ES32 or similar level. Maybe as it aged it will become noisier.

Hi guys,

Been looking around lately at tyres for my Myvi as i'm planning on changing my stock tyres soon and mostly because i just changed my rims haha. Currently on 185 55 15 Goodyear TMA and i'm planning to go to 195 55's.

So, I came across this tyre Yokohama BluEarth ES32 after looking around alot and there are less reviews in Malaysia but based on reviews from Tyre Reviews UK, it's overall a great tyre. Not noisy, great handling in both wet and dry conditions, great fuel effienciency and long lasting but i would like to hear more from users who have used these tyres in Malaysia.

My choices currently is

1). Yokohama BluEarth ES32

2) Viking Protech PT5 (tempting as its reviews has been good too for cheap tyres but i don't want my tyres to be too noisy)

3) Continental CC6

4) Westlake RP18

5) Michelin PS3

Hope i get the answers i'm looking for  biggrin.gif  icon_idea.gif

I recently changed 4 tyres to ES32 so here's my review:

It is a very comfort and quiet tyre but with good grip on the road. I haven't have the chance to try on aquaplaning coz I havent encounter any heavy rain but on wet road, the wet grip is very good imo. Dry grip is slightly less superior compared to wet grip but it is still good.

Since I have used some cheap tyres in the past, here's my comparison:

(bear in mind I only own small cars so all of them are less than 17 inch. Also, I do not include tyres that I do not regularly use like my sibling's SUV)

Wet grip: XM2+ > ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6

Dry Grip: XM2+ > Tripplemax > ES32 > CR1 > CC6

Noise: CC6 > ES32 > XM2+ > CR1 > Tripplemax

Comfort: ES32 > CC6 > CR1 > XM2+ > Tripplemax

Cornering: XM2+ > ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6.

Added: Aquaplaning: XM2+ = ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6

These comparisons are based on my own regular experience and I try my best to compare them when they are new (as far as I can remember). Aquaplaning is missing as I havent have the chance to try ES32. May update this comparison afterwards.

Edit: I will probably try another new set of tyres next time but if I had to choose between these 5 based on all these elements, price, longevity etc. I would probably go XM2+ > ES32 > Tripplemax > CR1 > CC6. I will never purchase CC6 or even CC7 (I tried CC7 before on my colleague's car but i almost hit the wall on a corner during a wet day).

Also, I just drive regularly (120km ish on the PLUS highway and not too aggressively on normal roads.

Edit 2: I just drove in 2 straight pouring days and I purposely drove through some giant puddle of water. ES32 is very good in aquaplaning, almost identical to XM2+ in my opinion. I would put them in the same category coz they are just basically the same: no sliding or lost of grip at all even when drive through 1 foot of water.

I will still try other tyres next time but now, XM2+ is still slightly superior but more expensive so both are excellent purchase.

this is the kind of review I'm looking for! thank you.
I've been sticking to xm2 since 10 years ago, was considering es32 for some years now but always worried about aquaplaning and wet grip.
looks like i will stick to xm2+ now. noise and comfort memang no good but for safety, have to take the bullet.

thank you.

I am glad that the review is what you're looking for. For me, when I tried to find tyre information last time around, it was frustrating that some users just praise 1 aspect of their favorite tyre without providing much information regarding other aspects at all.

I think we should have more rounded review like this from lowyat users so that we can have better information on all aspects before deciding our next set of wheels.

Cheers.

The only advantage SN832i over ES32 should be more longer treadwear, the rest should below it.
If ES32 is cheaper, take it anytime over SN832i.
