Description

Yokohama ECOS ES31 (225/50R17 94V CN Y25)

The DNA of Fuel Efficiency. Reliable Performance for Daily Driving.

The ECOS ES31 is the successor to the legendary ES300. It was developed with a primary focus on “The Power of the Earth” (BluEarth technology), aiming to reduce environmental impact by lowering fuel consumption while maintaining balanced wet and dry performance.

✨ Key Technical Features

• ⛽ Nano-Blend Compound:

  The ES31 uses Yokohama’s proprietary nano-blend rubber compound, which includes orange oil. This allows the rubber to remain flexible for better road contact while significantly reducing rolling resistance, leading to better fuel economy.

• 📐 Asymmetric-Lite Tread Design:

  The tread features a refined pattern designed to improve straight-line stability. In this 225mm width, it provides a “planted” feel on the highway, ensuring that the car tracks straight with minimal steering corrections.

• 🔇 Specialized Noise-Control Grooves:

  Small “dimples” and non-penetrating sipes are strategically placed on the tread blocks to break up air resonance. This results in a quiet and comfortable ride, which is highly valued for daily commuting in Singapore’s urban environment.

• 🌧️ Four Wide Longitudinal Channels:

  To handle heavy tropical rain, the ES31 is equipped with four wide grooves that evacuate water quickly. This provides reliable protection against hydroplaning and ensures stable braking distances on wet roads.

• 🛡️ Aerodynamic Sidewall Design:

  Even the sidewall is engineered to be aerodynamic, reducing air drag as the tyre rotates at high speeds. This further contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle.

📊 Performance Summary

• Fuel Efficiency: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent eco-credentials)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Comfortably quiet)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐ (Reliable for daily rain; not a performance rain tyre)

• Tread Life: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Durable compound for high mileage)

The Yokohama ECOS ES31 is the premier “value-premium” choice for 2026. It is ideal if you want a dependable, branded tyre that helps save on petrol costs without the high price of a dedicated performance tyre.
