New Carrera will use Yokohamas

Oct. 14, 2005

Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd.'s Advan Sport (V103S) tire has been selected as an original equipment tire for the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4.

The 911 Carrera 4 is the eighth Porsche model since 1989 to sport OE Yokohama brand tires.

Tire sizes to be supplied include 235/40ZR18 (91Y) for the front and 295/35ZR18 (99Y) for the rear.

In July, moderntiredealer.com reported that Yokohama would be obtaining a Carrera fitment.

Yokohama opened an OE office in Farmington Hills, Mich., earlier this year.
