Yokohama Tire’s Rich Racing Heritage to be on Display at the SEMA Show

/Consumer News, Motorsports

From checkered-flag dominant sports cars to triumphant trophy trucks, Yokohama Tire’s rich racing heritage will be highlighted – along with several new ultra-high performance (UHP) and off-road/light truck tires, eye-catching vehicles and action sports star Travis Pastrana – at its spectacular SEMA Show booth (#62118-62119). The SEMA Show runs from November 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Additionally, Yokohama and Nitro Circus are partnering again with SEMA Ignited® to present another exclusive, high-octane Nitro Circus Freestyle Motocross (FMX) show for consumers on Friday, November 8.

Located just outside South Hall, Yokohama’s new activation truck and trailer will anchor the race-themed booth, which will have distinct UHP and light truck sections, highlighting both their motorsports roots and new product lineup. Several unique cars will be on hand in a visually impactful multi-level display.

“Racing, both on- and off-road, has been a hallmark for Yokohama – it’s in our DNA,” said Andrew Briggs, Yokohama’s VP of marketing and product management. “We’re looking forward to vividly presenting our storied racing legacy, rich heritage and all-new product lineup to the worldwide trade audience and car enthusiasts who attend.”

Highlights of Yokohama’s SEMA booth include:

New tires: Several of Yokohama’s recently launched tires will be on display, including the ADVAN Apex™ V601, ADVAN Sport® A/S+, ADVAN A052®, GEOLANDAR X-AT™ and GEOLANDAR X-CV™, GEOLANDAR X-MT®, GEOLANDAR M/T® G003 and more.

Race vehicles and more: A cascade of one-of-a-kind vehicles will adorn Yokohama’s booth. They include a BMW M3 E46 GTR, Panoz Esperante GTLMe, Porsche 911 GTS Cup, Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport and Racer Engineering’s 2019 Baja trophy truck. Also on display will be a 2020 Toyota Supra, 2018 Overland Ram, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 and a 2019 Teraflex Jeep.

The Pastranas and Bilko show: Pastrana, his wife and pro skateboarder Lyn-z and fellow Nitro Circus member Blake “Bilko” Williams will be at the Yokohama booth Wednesday, November 6, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and Thursday, November 7, 11 a.m. to noon signing autographs for fans.
