Yokohama Rubber’s ADVAN to Come Factory-Equipped on New Mercedes
OREANDA-NEWS. September 07, 2012. The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced today that its "ADVAN Sport V105 MO" tires 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. Tire size for the new models is 225/45R17 91W.
The "ADVAN Sport V105 MO" was developed jointly by Yokohama Rubber and Daimler, and the "MO" mark on the side of each tire signifies approval by Daimler. The new tires 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. Quiet ride and a high level of comfort are finely balanced. The "ADVAN Sport V105 MO" is also fitted as original equipment on CLS-Class and SLK-Class vehicles released in 2011 as well as SL-Class vehicles launched in 2012. The predecessor "ADVAN Sport (V103)" is fitted as original equipment on the Audi S8, A7 and Q7, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and Cayenne, and the Bentley Continental, in addition to Mercedes-Benz models.
With this full model change - a complete redesign - the Mercedes-Benz A-Class enters its third generation as a sporty five-door hatchback, released first in Europe in September. The B-Class is a Sports Tourer for young families, and has the same tire size as the A-Class. Yokohama tires have been factory-equipped on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, G-Class AMG, CL-Class AMG, ML-Class AMG, E-Class Coupe, C-Class, C-Class AMG, CLS-Class, SLK-Class and SL-Class.
