Mazda CX-80 to roll on Yokohama Advan

Yokohama Rubber is supplying its Advan V61 tyres as original equipment (OE) to Mazda Motor Corporation for use on the automaker’s new CX-80 SUV. The tyre sizes are 235/60R18 103V and 235/60R18 107V.

The Advan V61 tyre being supplied as OE is a high-performance tyre in Yokohama’s flagship Advan brand. According to Yokohama, the tyre contributes to the Mazda CX-80’s superior handling performance while also contributing to a comfortable and quiet ride for everyone in the cabin.

In addition, the Advan V61 is claimed to be highly wear resistant and displays exceptional hydroplaning resistance that provides superior wet grip performance. The tyre also achieves low rolling resistance, a feature usually considered incompatible with these other characteristics.

The tyres being supplied as OE for Mazda CX-80 were developed by utilising specialised tuning to match their tread pattern, profile, and tyre structure to the vehicle characteristics, while also using Yokohama Rubber’s AI-based development framework HAICoLab.
