Yokohama and BMW finished first on the New England’s Grand Prix podium at Lime Rock in July 2006. Yokohama Rubber Company is unquestionably in the top 10 of the greatest tyre constructers. Founded at the beginning of the 20th century in Japan the company manages to penetrate and to impose its name on the American and European markets very fast thanks to its inventive technology and to an almost aggressive will to expand. In the USA this Japanese manufacturer is among the first to ever introduce the concept of an asymmetric tread band design. Nowadays their reputation precedes them: the Japanese tyres are famous for their UHP (ultra high performance) line used in official races. A tyre produced in a Yokohama factory except from its safety its modern design and its resistance is famous for its grip in significant slippery angles and in aquaplaning situations. All these features and many others won Yokohama tyres a well deserved title of the official tyre in the American Championship of Monterey in 2006.
