Yokohama wins approval for smart fortwo BRABUS

Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., has announced that its S.drive tyres have been approved by smart-Brabus GmbH as original equipment tyres for the new "smart fortwo BRABUS" - just as similar tyres were for the predecessor model since 2002.

The current tyres are the latest additions to Yokohama's S.drive, its sporty tyre series. The sizes of the S.drive are 175/50R16 77T for the front and 225/35R17 86Y (Reinforced) for the rear. The "smart fortwo Brabus" was developed by smart-Brabus GmbH, a joint venture between DaimlerChrysler AG and leading German tuner Brabus GmbH, on the basis of the already unique "smart fortwo".

Yokohama said it is proud to have met the high technical standards required in the process of development with smart-Brabus GmbH. The fine-tuned S.drive tyres for smart-Brabus are a new generation of driving tyre offering outstanding kinetic performance and improved wet grip. The "drive" series is Yokohama's core product line in the European market, and includes the C.drive, A.drive and S.drive.
