Yokohama Rubber will participate in the Tokyo Auto Salon 2019 between 11 and 13 January at Makuhari Messe. The company will showcase its tyre and aluminium wheel products.

The booth will also introduce its motorsport activities, which it states make important contributions to its technology development for consumer tyres.
