When you outfit your Subaru with the exact same tires it came equipped with from the factory, you can take the guesswork out of replacing your tires and rest assured you're not compromising on quality! This original equipment (O.E.) Subaru tire is made specifically to fit your vehicle, and provides superior handling, performance, reliability and longevity compared to inferior-quality tire options.

Yokohama BluEarth is Yokohama's product engineering philosophy for environmentally-, human- and socially-friendly tires, developed with the belief that tires should deliver driving pleasure as well as less environmental impact. BluEarth comprises multiple advanced technologies focused on improving the sustainability of our natural resources through improved fuel efficiency and reduced usage of non-renewable materials. These five core technologies consist of nano BLEND Compound, Light Weight Technology, Advanced Inner Liner, Fuel Saving Construction and AERO Dynamics Technology.

Nano BLEND Compound is Yokohama's core technology and is composed of three main ingredients: BLEND polymer, orange oil and FINE silica. The low rolling resistance BLEND polymer combines with the highly dispersible FINE silica to deliver fuel savings, long mileage and wet grip, with further improvements realized by the addition of orange oil, which allows the tire to better conform to the road, improving adhesion in wet and dry. As an added benefit, replacing some highly aromatic oils with orange oil reduces dependency on petroleum and replaces a non-renewable resource with one that is easily renewable.

Through the use of Light Weight Technology, Yokohama BluEarth tires can weigh up to 17% less than conventional tires, requiring less fuel to move. A properly inflated tire has lower rolling resistance than one that is underinflated, so the Advanced Inner Liner design uses a traditional flexible rubber inner liner plus an added plastic layer, reducing air loss resulting from permeation by up to 36% and further improving fuel economy. Uneven heat buildup can increase rolling resistance and rapid wear, so Fuel Saving Construction features anti-heat compounds and computer-simulated construction focused on controlling heat buildup and improving tire longevity. Finally, AERO Dynamics Design uses computer modeling and wind tunnel testing to develop sidewall features that lower wind resistance and aerodynamic drag during high-speed operation, such as recessed branding and a dimple design similar to that of a golf ball.
