The ADVAN Sport V107 has been developed for use on premium high-performance cars, premium high-performance SUVs, and premium electric vehicles (EVs). Following joint development projects with leading premium car manufacturers and testing at Yokohama Rubber’s test center at the Nürburgring, widely considered the world’s most demanding race course, delivery of special OE ADVAN Sport V107 tires began in 2020, including tires for Mercedes-AMG and BMW M premium cars.
Under Yokohama Rubber’s three-year (2021–2023) medium-term management plan, Yokohama Transformation 2023 (YX2023), the consumer tire business aims to maximize the sales ratios of high-value-added YOKOHAMA tires, namely the global flagship ADVAN brand, the GEOLANDAR brand of tires for SUVs and pickup trucks, and various winter tires. In 2022, the Company plans to strengthen sales of ADVAN brand summer tires by launching the ADVAN Sport V107, as well as its new high-performance street sports tire, the ADVAN NEOVA AD09, being introduced in Japan in February 2022 and gradually being expanded to Asia and North America.
