In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Japan (
Yokohama) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Hankook). Generally,
Hankook summer tyres are slightly better rated (80%) than
Yokohama (58%). In this particular case, the Hankook ION Evo has a better rating of 90% compared to 55% of the Yokohama BluEarth-XT. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2025 215/55 R18 test, where both the
BluEarth-XT and the
ION Evo were tested. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
BluEarth-XT is made in Japan and
ION Evo is made in Hungary.
