Yokohama ECOS ES31 (215/55R16 93V)

Reliable Efficiency. Refined Comfort for Daily Driving.

The ES31 is engineered for drivers who prioritize fuel economy and a smooth cabin experience. It uses advanced Japanese compound technology to minimize energy loss while providing dependable grip on both dry and wet roads.

✨ Key Technical Features

• ⛽ ECOS Low-Rolling Resistance:

  The ES31 is built with Yokohama’s “nano BLEND” compound, which reduces the heat generated by the tyre as it rotates. This leads to lower fuel consumption and reduced $CO_2$ emissions, making it an ideal choice for hybrid owners or high-mileage commuters.

• 🔇 5-Pitch Tread Variation:

  To ensure a quiet ride, the tread blocks are designed in five different sizes that disrupt air resonance. This significantly reduces “road roar,” providing a comfortable and hushed cabin environment even on older asphalt surfaces.

• 🌩️ Lightning Straight Grooves:

  The central part of the tread features zig-zag “lightning” grooves. These are highly efficient at water evacuation, earning the tyre a solid rating for wet grip and providing excellent resistance to aquaplaning during heavy rain.

• 📏 Aerodynamic Sidewall:

  The sidewall is designed with an aerodynamic profile to reduce drag as the wheel spins at higher speeds, further contributing to the vehicle’s overall efficiency.

• 📐 High-Rigidity Shoulders:

  Despite being an eco-tyre, the ES31 features robust shoulder blocks that prevent the tyre from “rolling” during corners, providing stable and predictable handling for daily city maneuvers.

📊 Performance Summary

• Fuel Economy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very quiet and smooth)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Reliable braking in rain)
