| ![]() @Souvik25 Thanks. So far so good. I have done 1000 KMS on these tyres and finding them very silent, having grip levels slightly better than XM2 and the ride comfort excellent. Unlike the A-drives, it does not pick up small stones in its grooves. Will have to see how it fares in the long term. My XM2 lasted for 55K on the odo through a mix of good and very bad roads with just 2 punctures. On similar routes, my A drives lasted 38 K with many punctures and became noisier post 10K Kms.

| ![]() Dear All, Guys has anyone comment on comparison between Yokohama BluEarth and Earth-1 tires. Which is superior and why. Please comment if possible. I am looking for 185/60 R15. Last edited by aah78 : 25th March 2019 at 18:51. Reason: Post fixed. |

Earth-1 is made in India tires, it's good for long life. BluEarth is imported (Philippines). This is more performance oriented compared to Earth-1. The price difference is negligible and I would recommend BluEarth over Earth-1 any day. Last edited by aah78 : 25th March 2019 at 18:50. Reason: Quoted post fixed. Typos fixed. |

Does that also mean Blu-Earth could be a softer compound tire which might be more prone to punctures/sidewall issues and generally might get lesser mileage from it. Also BluEarth is newer in Indian market so very less number of real life usage experience in India about it. Is it worth the risk. Have you or know anyone who has been using it on a long term basis. Thanks for the response! Last edited by aah78 : 25th March 2019 at 18:51. Reason: Spacing fixed. |

I can't give a proper feedback or comparison because I have used MC5's in S-Cross and Bluearth in Baleno. Overall grip should be better with MC5. Wet grip is decent with Bluearth, much better than Alanc 4G in Baleno. |

| ![]() I got blue earth (made in philipines) for my verna. Apparently only some specific sizes are from japan. Cost per tyre Rs7100/-. Got third week of march 2019 manufactured ones. Ride quality is soft just like michelin. Got them from ACME TYRE SERVICE GOREGAON. |

| ![]() I have been quoted Rs. 4500 per tyre for Yokohama BluEarth for my Swift in 185/70/R14 size and 4300 per tyre for Earth 1. Which one should I go for? For me, reliability, i.e. strong side walls is a must followed by comfort and road noise. Can existing BluEarth owners share their reviews. Thanks. Edit: Forgot to mention that the above rates includes Balancing/Alignment (except the weights). Last edited by Sherlocked : 6th July 2019 at 14:45. |

| ![]() My experience of driving with Blue Earth for 10k kms is that: a) It is very comfortable. b) Road noise is lesser than XM2 and almost on par with Primacy LC. C) Driven on a lot of bad roads and touch wood, it's holding good. d) Rolling resistance is less and grip is on par with the XM2 only and not the Primacy 3ST. Earth 1 may be grippier for Indian roads as Naren mentions. e) Tyre is real VFM and better choice than Earth 1, even though its yet to be tested from the mileage front Last edited by GTO : 8th July 2019 at 10:51.
