How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

Reviews of the Yokohama BluEarth S34 are mixed to leaning negative, with most feedback coming from owners of hybrid vehicles who received them as OEM tires. Dry grip is generally judged adequate to excellent and fuel-saving low rolling resistance is appreciated, but wet traction, handling feel and noise draw repeated criticism.
Pros
- Dry grip is described as adequate by most reviewers and as 'phenomenal' by one.
- Low rolling resistance contributes to fuel savings on hybrids.
- One reviewer found handling great and the tire very good value for the price.
- Wet traction is described as decent or good by some reviewers, particularly once the tires have some wear.
Cons
- Wet traction is the most frequent complaint: reports of slipping in the rain, sliding when turning in wet conditions despite traction and stability control, and initial slipperiness on new tires.
- Handling is described as poor or only 'so-so' by several reviewers.
- Noise is prominent, including wind and road noise at speed (one reviewer measured roughly 85 dB at 70 mph).
- The hard, ultra low rolling resistance compound is suspected by one reviewer of compromising wet grip.
Worth knowing
- Most feedback comes from Toyota Prius owners with OEM-fitted tires, who report acceptable dry grip but weaker wet grip and noticeable cabin noise; some are unsure whether the car or the tires are responsible for the handling and noise.
- A Toyota Sienna hybrid owner reported a notably more positive experience, including great handling and fuel economy gains.
- No tire size information was provided in the reviews, so no size-specific conclusions can be drawn. Treadwear is also largely unassessed because of low mileage (around 15,000 miles at most).
