The Yokohama BluEarth-4S tyre receives an overall adequate rating for driving safety. It shows significant weaknesses on dry roads at high temperatures and misses good ratings on both wet and winter surfaces.
On dry surfaces, the tyre offers barely adequate steering feedback and lacks precision. The driver must make frequent corrections due to delayed steering response and inconsistent cornering. The test vehicle tends to oversteer early in dynamic maneuvers, resulting in an adequate rating for limit behavior. Braking distance is rated as satisfactory.
On wet roads, the BluEarth-4S performs satisfactorily. It narrowly misses a good rating in braking tests, while its aquaplaning resistance and handling are clearly rated as satisfactory. The tyre struggles to effectively combine longitudinal and lateral forces and tends to under- or oversteer relatively early.
In winter conditions, the Yokohama achieves a satisfactory result. It scores well in snow braking but only satisfactory in traction and snow handling. The test vehicle offers satisfactory steering precision, but with a narrow and low performance limit. Ice braking performance is also rated as satisfactory.
Environmentally, the Japanese-made Yokohama BluEarth-4S receives a satisfactory rating. It achieves only satisfactory scores in projected mileage, wear, and efficiency. The tyre is criticized for production residues on new tyres, which unnecessarily impact the environment during initial use.

2018-12-11 - New XC60 4x4 (235/55/R19 V) comes with Latitude road tyres that are no use to me. I live on Dartmoor hence mud and stones plus some ice and snow. I need a sturdy all season tyre capable of a bit of off road but also capable of dealing with poor road conditions with gravel potholes and stones. Strong sidewalls. Currently using Yokohama Geolandars which last for ever but probably aren't the best in snow or in the wet. Looking at Scorpion Verde all season FSL with rim protector band. But the Verde is runflat M&S which seems like a good idea but how good on stones off road? Any suggestions - most other makes only have an H speed rating - I should have V though I'm not likely to exceed 130!
I'm afraid I'm currently out of my depth when it comes to SUV. This test includes both all season and AT tyres which are legal winter tyres and will give you an idea regarding the balance of performance.
2023-12-27 - Despite its mid-low ratings in all the tests, do you know something more about the Yokohama BluEarth 4S AW21 thanks
I'm afraid not, all the data I know is on the site.
