German car manufacturer Brabus GmbH has picked Yokohama Advan tires for its Brabus Rocket.

The car will use size 255/35ZR19 96Y tires in the front and size 285/30ZR19 98Y tires in the back.

Brabus "has been in a technological partnership with Yokohama Rubber for the development of tires since last year," say Yokohama officials.

Yokohama tires also have been approved for use on the Brabus MV12 SUV.
