Yokohama Advan Sport V107 Receives Technical Certification for Mercedes-AMG New GLB 35 4MATIC SUV
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 has received technical certification as original equipment on Mercedes-AMG’s new SUV, the GLB 35 4MATIC.
Advan Sport V107 Offers Superior Dry and Wet Performance
The SUV went on sale in Europe in December 2019. The GLB 35 can be outfitted with 21-inch 255/35ZR21 98Y size Advan Sport V107 tyres.
The Advan Sport V107 tyres are the ultimate high-performance tyres in Yokohama Rubber’s premier Advan brand. The version of the Advan Sport V107 that received technical certification for use on the GLB 35 was jointly developed with Mercedes-AMG to achieve the superior dry and wet performance required by SUVs. The company said, the tyre’s superior wet performance, achieved by adjusting the tread pattern’s groove area and using a specially developed compound, has earned the EU labeling system’s highest A grade. In addition, its structure and compound have been fine-tuned to deliver the superior handling and steering stability that are indispensable for high-power premium cars. In recognition of the tyre’s high standard, its sidewall bears the automaker’s MO1 mark of approval.
