Installed the tires few weeks ago. Well, they haven't killed me yet. Quite contrary - I feel they are nice and comfortable tires on wet and dry asphalt. Very soft and smooth and the car feels very eager to roll along. No noticeable fuel economy change compared to summer tires.
Granted, I have yet to see any snow or ice with them, but I'm fairly certain I will survive the winter.
Will report back once winter is done. Initial phase is promising.

Very dangerous tire on wet roads. Only buy these if you live in a very dry climate. I've done 45000kms on them and can probably do another 30000kms. They hardly wear out. I am waiting for them toe wear out so I can buy a tire that performs better on wet roads.

The tires are good but to hard and uncomfortable to drive, you feel every bump on the road. Would not buy again.

I am a taxi driver, mostly drive motorway. I had these tires on current car and 2 previous cars.
On current car the front lasted 100,000 miles and at the back 180,000 still in legal limits. I am about to buy another 4 tires.

I got Michelins on my Skoda Octavia FL 2.0TSI 190bhp MY2019. So far, so good. Grip on all surfaces and conditions is very good. I do not have any sport ambitions, but during searching tires for my car, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 had the best reviews. I am fully satisfied with these tires. Good performance, feedback and comfort. For me the best.

Excellent value for money. By rotating the tires they last 40 000 Miles on my car with wrong wheel allignment. I would buy IT again.

I was really hoping to have that 'wow' effect, but unfortunately it never worked.
These tires are really good in heavy rain, but that's where it ends.
First, they are noisy. Secondly, I don't feel comfortable when having to brake when it's wet and the temperature is pretty low.
The last thing and probably the worst is the huge increase of fuel consumption straight from the first day they were fitted. It's terrible to be honest. I feel as if I am driving a tank.
In my opinion, they are nowhere near to my previous Michelin Cross Climates.
Maybe sounds a bit harsh, but that's my opinion on them. My judgement is purely based on my experience.
I definitely do not recommend Bridgestone All-weather Control.

Mixed driving including all weathers in rural Norfolk, UK. Generally ok but handling vague. However, had to brake really hard at 65 mph on a dual carriageway under normal load, dry road, correct pressures, and very scary. Car snaked and almost lost control. They were fitted standard by Skoda and the Octavia estate is only a year old and less than 8000 miles. Would not buy again and about to change to Michelin Crossclimate. Remember years ago having Bridgestones on my Honda motorbike and had to change them too due to poor handling.

Purchased a full set of these tires in February 2019 from Euro*aster who were doing a good deal on the Yokohama ES32. At 34,570 miles I finally fitted them onto my 2012 Skoda Octavia TSi Combi as I use winter tires from mid November to mid April.
During the summer I toured the Belgian coast and Northern France beside the usual chores that a car has to do. ( I usually cycle to work, hence the low annual mileage of less than 7000! ).
Dry grip is very good, giving confidence around tight corners and braking in an emergency. As good as the original Continental Ecocontact 3's that were fitted when new and the replacement Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance too.
Wet grip is also very good. I cannot understand how some folk say these Yokohama tires are very poor in the wet. IMHO they are a match for the original Continental's and far better in the wet than the Goodyear's I had fitted previously.
Road Feedback is good, comparable with the Conti's and far better than the vague feeling of the Goodyear's.
Handling is very good. I am not an aggressive driver but on a quite twisty road I like to enjoy myself. The Goodyear's were OK on such roads while the Conti's were very good.
Wear is sadly the only down side to my report. The beginning of October 2019 my Skoda had a full service and MOT at 36,752 miles. After 2200 miles the front tires were down to 6.4mm at the front and rear's at 6.8mm! The Goodyear's did over 10,000 before reaching such wear levels and the Conti's were also very good.
If I were an aggressive 'press-on' sort at the wheel I could understand such wear levels but I am more of a 'Captain Slow' type of driver as my other cars are a Trabant 601S and a Karmann Ghia Semi-Automatic Coupe!!
Comfort is superb. Far better than the Conti's and ahead of the Goodyear's too.
As for buying again? Well if they were on offer as my original purchase then maybe I would but looking on the Yokohama UK website it would appear that Russian made Skoda Octavia's are fitted with Yokohama BluEarth-A AE-50 tires so perhaps that's the next choice.
To surmise, Yokohama tires have come along way since the 1970's when my old gaffer from my engineering apprentice days had a set fitted to his Vauxhall Magnum 2300 Estate. He did 20,000 a year and said the were the work tires EVER. I am quite happy with Yokohama tires and would certainly purchase again, even with the wear issue. Besides which the BlueEarth ES32 is recommended by Yokohama for Compact and small family cars. Is the Skoda Octavia Combi such a car?
Perhaps the Yokohama BluEarth-A AE-50 is the one to go for after all.

Brand new on my approved vehicle when picking up. Tires have lasted nearly 20,000 miles on a vehicle that has been lowered for roughly 12,000 of those - changed the tire camber very slightly as a result.
Grip was good at the start, the more wear, the easier it is to spin them in the wet and more recently in the dry also.
I managed an indicated 69mpg run on the motorway with these tires, cruise control at 70. Appreciate the car may read optimistically.
Wouldn't purchase of it were myself buying tires, but only because I prefer a branded tire with actual European data stickers available (currently not found any for the bh15). Replacing with some F1 Asymmetric 5's after seeing the reviews on them.
