ERJ staff report (LMH)

Tokyo -- The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd said that its ADVAN Sport V105 MO tyres for high-powered cars - part of its global flagship ADVAN series - have been selected as original equipment for Mercedes-Benz's new A-Class and B-Class models, produced by Daimler AG of Germany. Tyre size for the new models is 225/45R17 91W.

Yokohama Rubber and Daimler developed the ADVAN Sport V105 MO together, and the MO mark on the side of each tyre signifies approval by Daimler. The new tyres deliver all of the stability in the super high-speed range of their predecessor, the ADVAN Sport (V103), with further improved performance on wet and dry surfaces and braking, Yokohama said.
