The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. is supplying Advan Sport V107 tires for use as original equipment on BMW’s new iX3, the first sports activity vehicle (SAV) with an all-electric-drive system from the BMW brand.

Yokohama Rubber began shipping the tires to the BMW Group in September 2020, supplying three sizes for the new all-electric drive SAV—245/50R19 105W, 245/45R20 103W, and 275/40R20 106W.

The tires being supplied for the BMW iX3 were jointly developed with the BMW Group. The company says they feature a compound developed to reduce tire heat generation, and the tire profile and tread pattern have been designed to achieve a more uniform road contact pressure that contributes to lower noise emission when the vehicle is accelerating.
