Yokohama E70D db

Got these fitted to a used VW Touran 5T TDI. They were YOM 2022 so can’t be more than a year old or given the car’s low mileage of

OEM Tyres on the Lexus CT200h are Yokohama E70 Decibel. They are very noisy at motorway speeds, and UK rough road surfaces at low-ish speeds transmit unacceptable vibrations into the cabin. My winter set of 16” Goodyear Vector 4 seasons G3 are an improvement, but I don’t want to run those all year round. Tried 17” Michelin Primacy 4 - very heavy/sluggish steering feel, slight NVH improvement (but not as good as my winter set). Finally, got my set of Sport Contact 6 - comfier than the rest of these tyres (as well as my 16” winters). Much quieter than OEM (which suits the CT200h very well). Not as sharp to turn in as the Yokos but actually, they suit the car very well - this is, after all, a small ‘luxury’ hybrid not a hot hatch. Why on earth did they fit these tyres to the car as OEM. Hardly a luxury tyre.

This is the second time, I bought Yokohama E70 Decibel dB. It is quiet with good grip on dry and wet roads.

These came standard on my 2011 Suzuki Kizashi in 215/55R17. Fairly quiet with a comfortable ride, but nothing out of the ordinary if you want to improve a car's safety. I had to emergency brake on a dry road when someone turned in front of me. The stopping distance was scary from only 60km/h. I replaced them shortly afterwards for a better tyre. (The review is a bit late, now being 2022, but given the lack of reviews I thought I'd add my thoughts.)

They have a lot of road noise and the got bald very quickly despite it being a hybrid. I always drive very carefully with low acceleration so expected better milage. I got 31,000 miles out of them.

Good Tyres with driving pleaser

First impression is feeling when tyre touching road sound look quiet more than previous Toyo ADB and continental contract sport 3 I can feel the power of engine while driving.

Yokohama E70B dB decibel 93V (Made in Japan) is a touring tyre which is very quiet and comfort bias. After fitting 4 brand new tyres onto my Honda 2 liter MPV, my ride on the move is so quiet that engine noise becomes more noticeable. This is definitely a comfort tyre suitable for daily commute and long distance touring. Previously my car was fitted with Nokian Z G2 which has uneven wear and noisy. WIth this set of tyres, the drive becomes more relaxing and audio quality has improved. There is no longer the need to turn up the volume. Grip on dry and wet roads is very good. Previously I have fitted & experieced bridegstone, nokian, pirelli, falken, michelin, dunlop, goodyear tyres. I have experience in driving both left hand and right hand sides on roads in Europe to Asia to USA to Australia. From naturally aspirated engine to turbo charged 350HP sports car. It goes without saying that the world best gripping tyres will not help if the driver does not keep a safe distance and pay attention on the roads.

Tyres three and half years old. 35,000miles. Rotating to all four positions and weekly pressure checks. Rears have another 2000 left on them. Changed two fronts for Jinghu YH12 @ 74.00 each. 40.00 cheaper than branded. Looking to see if cheap is worst or not. Tyre pressures,tracking and bad driving usually creat e tyre issues.
