Technical information
Focus: Standard-sport
A standard tyre with an added dose of sportiness — Yokohama BLUEARTH*WINTER V905 is one of them. The basis stays balanced: comfort, quietness and tread life at the level of an ordinary tyre. The manufacturer adds a stiffer sidewall or a grippier compound, so the response is sharper at speed and through corners. The ideal is that none of it comes out of the tyre's mileage.

What owners say
Dry grip impeccable, wet grip even more impressive. Only downside id say is road noise is a lot more than my summer set, but you could say that's expected for winter tyres.
I had these on my rear-wheel-drive Jaguar when I left the Uk in January 2024, as soon as we hit France is started snowing, the snow settled by the time we were in Holland and increased in intensity, the snow was sometimes Icy, slushy and deep as we drove across Europe. In Germany on the autobahns the snow was preyty heavy and the car always felt stable and grippy. Hitting Poland, it was very snowy, ended up off the motorway and headed south into the mountains. Google took us on every little windy steep hill road it could find, I was worried the car would not cope, but it did. The tyres worked and we got safely to my destination. Definitely will buy the tyres again, oh I have.
I just put them on my car, I have 2 winters in fact, so I am starting my third and my tires are due to be changed soon...I do 60 km/day 5 days a week that's all...I am really disappointed with the longevity, they are also noisy, as for the rest they did the job, but I will not buy this product again
I mostly drive on motorways (70%) but also a fair bit on B-roads and in the city. These are the first winter tyres my car has ever had (19 years on all-seasons only). I have no real comparison with other winter tyres, although I have used them on other cars (FWD as opposed to my Freelander which is AWD). Ever though, I am very impressed with snow grip and handling of the Yokohamas. I can plough through deep snow, corner a snowy road as if it was dry tarmac and brake confidently. Dry grip is also excellent, I'd even say far better than the all-season Cooper Discoverer AT3s I used to have. All in all I am very pleased with the tyres and would recommend them to anyone who does regular winter trips as I do. The only downside is the tyre noise, which to me seems a bit excessive - specially around 80 km/h (50 mph). Can't speak of wear just yet.
Overall very pleased with the tire.
Coming from Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 you notice the difference but it is still good handling.
I felt alot of understeer when the roads are wet and temperature are high but which is not were winter tires excel.
I did not have the chance to drive those tyres in the snow.
Sadly they did not last long on the front of my car, unlike the Michelin.
The price is well placed but when you compare €/milage, in my testing Michelin is more interesting.
