INTRODUCTION – PREMIUM YOKOHAMA GRAND TOURING PERFORMANCE

The Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51 245/45R18 100W XL is a premium Grand Touring tyre engineered for motorists who want an excellent combination of high-speed stability, wet-road safety, ride comfort, fuel efficiency and dependable everyday handling.

Unlike an aggressive Ultra-High-Performance tyre designed primarily around maximum sportiness, the BluEarth-GT AE51 focuses on providing a refined balance between performance and comfort.

Its 245 mm footprint, practical 45-profile sidewall, substantial 100 load index and high-speed W rating create an excellent specification for compatible luxury cars, premium saloons and Grand Touring vehicles.

CLASS A WET GRIP – EXCELLENT RAIN PERFORMANCE

One of the strongest characteristics of this exact 245/45R18 AE51 specification is its EU Wet Grip Class A rating.

Class A represents the highest wet-grip category under the EU tyre-labelling system.

Wet-road advantages include:

- Wet Grip: Class A

- Excellent wet-road traction

- Strong braking performance during rainfall

- Confident wet-road handling

- Effective water evacuation

- Stable steering response

- Improved confidence during changing weather

This is particularly valuable during Kenya's rainy seasons, when standing water and wet roads can significantly reduce available traction.

For premium tyres with strong wet-road characteristics, contact Turtle Auto Emporium Ltd – 0702969638.

245 MM WIDE FOOTPRINT – STABILITY & ROAD CONTACT

The 245 mm nominal tyre width provides a substantial contact footprint between the tyre and road.

This contributes to traction and stability during acceleration, braking and cornering.

245 mm width advantages include:

- Strong road contact

- Confident dry-road traction

- Stable cornering behaviour

- Strong braking characteristics

45-PROFILE SIDEWALL – COMFORT MEETS RESPONSIVE HANDLING

The 45 aspect ratio provides an excellent compromise between sporty handling and everyday ride comfort.

Compared with extremely low-profile 30 or 35-series tyres, the taller sidewall provides additional cushioning over road imperfections while still maintaining responsive steering characteristics.

45-profile advantages include:

- Comfortable everyday ride

- Responsive steering

- Confident cornering

- Strong directional stability

- Additional cushioning over road imperfections

- Better everyday usability than extremely low-profile tyres

W SPEED RATING – RATED UP TO 270 KM/H

The W speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed capability of 270 km/h under specified test and operating conditions.

HIGH-RIGIDITY ASYMMETRIC TREAD PATTERN

Yokohama developed the AE51 with a high-rigidity asymmetric tread pattern.

Lightning Groove advantages include:

- Increased gripping edges

- Strong wet-road traction

- Improved road contact

- Confident cornering

- Predictable steering response

- Strong braking characteristics

ADVANCED A.R.T. RUBBER BLENDING TECHNOLOGY

Efficiency advantages include:

- Fuel Efficiency: Class B

- Optimised rolling resistance

- Improved efficiency characteristics

- Suitable for long-distance driving

- Balanced grip and economy

- Advanced BluEarth compound technology
