actually u are counting groves not ribs... count the crest part not the trough part. the tread part tats outwards. so its 2... AE51 has 4 groves thus 3 ribs... i think ur confusing ribs, are the part that are coming outwards i.e first contact patches...

check the A label, tread profile is of Yoko GT AE51. i hope this settles the long debate. and yes in normal sizes we hv the 3 ribs in AE51 whereas in ES32 its just as u shared in the pics as well. i think 225 and above has 3 ribs in ES32.

the damn lil nasty stone i feel ur pain. have exp this and damn it hurts. lets hope GT doesnt have this issue but tread pattern suggests maybe not... will share feedback once done.

@hassanraza01935247 buy them from shaikh brothers outlet in Lahore

Noted . Good info. The pebbles cause minor irritation at times but the drive is good and in the wet it's exceptional.

Sheikh bros were 2 expensive. have been checking around almost whole of Lahore. lets c.

awais924 (Regular) 2021-09-17 00:36:08 +0500 #36

They are the official importers of Yokohama.

i cant find V speed rating tyre in yoko Blue Earth GT AE51 all available ones are H rated 210 km/h. what is ur ES32 speed rating u got? appreciate if you can share.... 195/65 R15 91H is available but 196/65/ R15 91V is only available in CC6 i think, even ES32 21 import are H rated ones... just want to confirm if you managed to V rating one somehow

hassanraza01935247 (Hassan ) 2021-09-17 15:59:12 +0500 #38

Damn whole market doesnt have V rated Yoko blue earth GT AE51. no yoko series available in Pakistan for 195/65/ R15 is having V rating anywhere ES32, Advan DBs V552 and GT AE51 all included. imported ones are mostly H rated ones in the mentioned size (though globally available). V rating generally is lil expensive.... maybe lower profiles would be V rated ones if anyone knows anything about V rating availability in the mentioned size, plz let me know... mitchellin XM2s, energy saver + are also H rated, CC6 is V rated between and is available.

When I wanted BlueEarth ES32 in my required size, I emailed Yokohama Tires Pakistan and got a text reply from them that the tyre I wanted was available at XXX Yokohama authorized dealer. The number I received the text from was 0300 8279006. Maybe if you send them a text or call about the size and rating you wish they may guide you.

hassanraza01935247 (Hassan ) 2021-09-17 17:42:01 +0500 #40

ok thanks. between ur tyre speed rating is H right?

mehran (mehran) 2021-09-17 17:43:48 +0500 #41

I have not checked but I think yes, it's H.

hassanraza01935247 (Hassan ) 2021-09-17 17:48:35 +0500 #42

I am getting AE51's as an option for my Vitz 2018 too. Upsizing a bit to increase clearance 165/70 14 > 185/70 14.
Looking forward to the review and experience. Internet reviews are great but local reviews always help.
12.5K a piece a good price for 185/70 14's?

which city and from where? tyres are made in japan and 2021 manufactured?

waqar747 (waqar747) 2021-09-26 20:23:29 +0500 #45

City is Karachi, I will find out tomorrow on year of manufacture. Country is Japan.

waqar747 (waqar747) 2021-09-27 06:39:18 +0500 #46

I checked. Japan manufacturing.
GT AE51 doesn't appear on Sheikh Bros price list. I have to visit the tire shop to see if they are official imports or not.
Price seems ok? It's pretty close to ES32 in same size.
