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

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.

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.

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.

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?
