Yokohama Advan Sport V105 is OEM Tyre for Mercedes SLK Roadster

Yokohama ADVAN Sport V105 tires for high-powered cars have been selected as original equipment for Mercedes-Benz SLK-class two-seater roadstar models produced by Daimler AG of Germany. The SLK has been sold around the world since its European debut in March 2011. It is the sixth Mercedes-Benz series to be factory-equipped with Yokohama Rubber's tires. The other six are the CL 63 AMG, CL 65 AMG, ML-class AMG, C-class, C-class AMG and CLS.

The ADVAN Sport V105 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 the high-speed stability of the ADVAN Sport V103, on which the V105 is based. Wet and dry handling and braking performance have been further improved, and a quiet ride and high level of comfort are finely balanced. As part of Yokohama Rubber's policy to developing environmentally sound products, the tires also exhibit both improved wear resistance and reduced rolling resistance. The mark of Yokohama Rubber's new eco tire BluEarth is on each sidewall, further showing our commitment to producing environmentally, human and socially friendly tires. The ADVAN Sport V103 is fitted as original equipment on the Audi S8, A7 a
d Q7, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and Cayenne, and the Bentley Continental, in addition to Mercedes-Benz models.

The ADVAN Sport V105 is the successor to the ADVAN Sport V103, and will be fitted first as original equipment. Based on demonstration of its cutting-edge technology coming standard on some of the world's leading high-performance automobiles and its high level of performance, the V105 will then be introduced into replacement markets around the world. The number of available sizes will be extended from the beginning of 2012 accordingly.
