Product description & features
The Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 is an all season car tyre developed by Yokohama to deliver an excellent year round performance, capable of excelling in a variety of weather conditions.
Yokohama have designed the BluEarth 4S AW21 tyre with a directional V-groove tread pattern - which aids in the removal of surface water from the tyre's path, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
The tyre also features a silica end-locked compound. This allows the tyre to remain supple in lower temperatures - therefore helping to improve grip, as the tyre can flex with the contours of the road surface.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
