Yokohama BluEarth-XT AE61 (235/50R19 103V XL CN Y25)

The Highway Refinement Specialist. Engineered for SUV Stability.

The AE61 is Yokohama’s dedicated solution for the modern SUV owner. It addresses common SUV issues like high road noise and the “floaty” feel during cornering by using a high-rigidity structure and advanced sound-dampening patterns.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🔇 Extreme Silence ($68\text{ dB}$):

  This is one of the quietest SUV tyres on the market. It features Silent Edge Grooves and a 5-pitch tread variation that breaks up air resonance. In a 235mm width, this significantly reduces the “hum” often heard inside the cabin at highway speeds.

• 📐 Anti-Wobble Rigidity:

  Because SUVs have a higher center of gravity, they are prone to body roll. The AE61 features a Triple Center Rib and High-Rigidity Active Shoulders to provide a “planted” and stable feel during high-speed lane changes and cornering.

• 🌧️ A.R.T. (Advanced Reaction Technology) Mixing:

  This proprietary rubber blending process ensures silica is distributed more evenly throughout the compound. This allows the tyre to achieve an A-rating for wet grip, providing superior braking safety during heavy tropical rains.

• 📏 Mound Profile Technology:

  To prevent “shoulder scrubbing” (uneven wear on the edges typical of heavier SUVs), the AE61 has a specialized mound profile. This ensures the contact pressure is distributed evenly, extending the tyre’s life and maintaining consistent grip.

• 🔋 Nano-Blend & Low Rolling Resistance:

  As part of the BluEarth family, the AE61 uses a nano-level compound that reduces internal heat generation. This leads to low rolling resistance, which helps maximize fuel economy for petrol cars and battery range for hybrids/EVs.

📊 Performance Summary

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading braking)

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

• Stability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Eliminates the “floaty” SUV feel)

The Yokohama AE61 is the premier choice for 2026 if you want your SUV to handle with more precision while enjoying a whisper-quiet cabin.
