ERJ staff report (DS)

Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. said its Advan Sport tyre has been fitted as original equipment on the Audi A7 Sportback, a premium luxury 4-door coupe. Tyre sizes are 265/35R20 99Y XL (extra load) for both front and rear. The Audi A7 Sportback is being released in Europe in the autumn in 2010 and worldwide in 2011. The A7 Sportback is the fourth Audi model to have Yokohama tyres fitted as original equipment, joining the S6 and S8 in Audi's top-class S series, and the Audi Q7, a large, high-performance SUV.

The tyre fitted to the Audi A7 Sportback was developed jointly with Audi based on Yokohama Rubber's "Advan Sport" and bears the mark "AO" (Audi Original) on its sidewall, indicating approval of the tyre by Audi. Advan Sport tyres provide stable running at extreme speeds of over 300 km/h, together with good dry and wet grip, braking, and a comfortable, quiet ride.
