Yokohama tyres OE on new Honda N-Box

The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. is supplying its BluEarth AE-01 tyres as original equipment (OE) to Honda Motor Co. Ltd. for use on the automaker’s new mini-vehicle, N-Box, which was launched in Japan in October 2023. The N-Box is being equipped with 155/65R14 75S tyres.

The BluEarth AE-01 is based on the concept of being “environmentally, human, and socially friendly”. To that end it demonstrates “excellent fuel-efficiency and a high level of balance between basic performance properties such as quietness, comfortable performance, a comfortable ride, and long life”, according to Yokohama.

Yokohama reports that the manufacturer is “aggressively developing” tyres employing its “leading-edge BluEarth tyre technology”.
