Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Yokohama BluEarth E70 is a polarizing OEM tire frequently criticized for high road noise and a harsh ride quality, particularly on Subaru XV and Mitsubishi Outlander models. While some users appreciate its longevity and predictable handling in dry conditions, others report significant concerns regarding wet-weather grip and a noticeable decline in performance as the tire ages.
Pros
- Excellent tread life and durability
- Predictable handling in dry conditions
- Strong fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance
- Capable performance on light dirt and gravel surfaces
Cons
- High levels of cabin noise on various road surfaces
- Harsh ride quality and lack of comfort
- Inconsistent or poor wet-weather traction
- Significant performance degradation as the tire wears
Observations
- Subaru XV owners frequently cite this tire as a noisy OEM choice, often leading to early replacement despite remaining tread depth.
- Users of SUV/Crossover models like the Outlander PHEV report that the tire's stiff sidewalls transmit excessive road feedback, which some find unsuitable for family vehicles.
The Yokohama E70D db is a polarizing touring tire that prioritizes cabin comfort and low noise levels, often serving as an OEM fitment.

- Effective noise reduction compared to many competing touring tires
- Suitable for daily commuting and long-distance touring
- Generally positive initial impressions regarding road feel
Cons

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
