Yokohama has signed a deal to become the official tyre supplier for the 2015 Top Gear Live UK Tour. Yokohama tyres will be used on all vehicles featured during the five-venue tour. Commenting, Yokohama HPT Ltd managing director David Seward said: “I am delighted that Yokohama has been confirmed as official tyre supplier for the 2015 Top Gear Live UK Tour. The series of events really brings the television series to life and I am sure that our products will deliver the performance that the drivers require on every level.”

The tour will feature the regular trio of TV presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, while the fourth star of the show, The Stig, will also be in attendance. Its organisers say the tour will feature “incredible cars, breath-taking stunts and calamitous mucking around.”
