Yokohama BluEarth S34TZ

The Yokohama BluEarth S34TZ is a solid choice for drivers who value wet grip and comfort in a touring all-season tire. Its wet grip score of 7.5 surpasses the category average, making it a reliable option for rainy climates. The comfort and noise scores both meet the category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride. However, the tire lacks a treadwear mileage warranty, which is a notable downside compared to competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control that offers a 75,000-mile warranty. Additionally, its UTQG treadwear rating of 500 is slightly below the category average of 596, indicating a potentially shorter tire lifespan. The R speed rating may also limit its performance at higher speeds, which could be a consideration for some drivers. Overall, the BluEarth S34TZ is best suited for budget-conscious drivers who prioritize wet grip and comfort over longevity. If you need a tire with a longer tread life and a warranty, consider options like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control or the Continental ProContact TX.
