If you didn’t already know, Yokohama Used Tires & Yokohama New Tires is a Tire Company that is based out of Tokyo, Japan; this is how it’s really spelled : Yokohama Gomu Kabushiki-gaisha. 

The company was started in 1917 in a joint venture that was between Yokohama Cable Manufacturing & B.F. Goodrich. When 1969 rolled around, the company finally decided to expand to the United States & rename themselves “Yokohama Tire Corporation”. The driving force behind this tremendous rise was the Aspec A300. 

Ever since they made their presence here in the United States, they participate in the ALMS (The AmericanLe Mans Series) & Red Line Time Attack. They are the official supplier tire supplier for the World Touring Car Championship .. which is a pretty big deal, right? 

Off to the races,
