Yokohama to reveal flagship tyre

ERJ staff report (DS)

Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., will next February release its "ADVAN Sport V105" tyre. This is the successor model to the "Advan Sport (V103)" for high-powered, premium cars. The new tyre will be available in 36 sizes from 205/55R16 91V MO to 255/30ZR20 (92Y), including ten sizes already fitted as original equipment. Yokohama will gradually expand the range of available sizes.

The V103 was released eight years ago. Yokohama said, “Weight was reduced while rigidity was maintained, producing more agile handling and more comfortable ride. Synergistic effects among the special asymmetrical, non-directional tread pattern - inside for enhanced performance on wet surfaces, outside for dry - a new compound created to provide exceptional grip, and a new "Mound Profile" precisely controlling block ground contact pressure, yield even stronger dry and wet grip.”
