Yokohama launches the BluEarth-XT AE61 in Singapore

YHI Corporation (Singapore) Pte Ltd, exclusive distributor of Yokohama tyres in Singapore, has launched the BluEarth-XT AE61. The new tyre is developed specifically for use on crossovers and urban SUVs.

The BluEarth-XT AE61 delivers the sharp handling performance that drivers need on city streets and highways, complimented by a quiet ride that contributes to the comfort of being in the cabin of an SUV.

The asymmetrical tread pattern of the XT AE61 has been designed by Yokohama Rubber to deliver an uncompromised combination of high wet-grip performance and minimal rolling resistance. Four straight grooves combine with additional, smaller, narrow grooves to contribute to the tyre's outstanding wet-grip performance to provide drivers with a greater sense of safety when driving in the rain.

The grooves have also been designed to suppress noise generation and work with a five-pitch tread pattern to realise a superior level of quietness.

The tyre's nano-blend compound meanwhile combines silicas and polymers to maintain fuel efficiency. The BluEarth-XT AE61's profile also features a smooth road contact surface shape and a mound profile that evenly distributes contact pressure to deliver outstanding straight-line stability and added resistance to uneven wear for a longer usable lifespan.

The BluEarth-XT AE61 will be available from Yokohama Authorised Dealers in a range of different sizes ranging from 16-inches to 20-inches.
