04 Feb 2015

The Japanese brand of high performance and motorsport tyres, YOKOHAMA, is delighted to announce that they are the Official Tyre Supplier for the 2015 Top Gear Live UK Tour. The relationship will see YOKOHAMA tyres used on the vehicles featured in the all-new Top Gear Live, five-venue tour.

Each of the five tour events will be fronted by perhaps the world's most famous trio of TV presenters; Clarkson, Hammond and May while the fourth star of the show, The Stig, will also be on hand to do what he does best.

According to the organisers, fans can expect to see a series of "incredible cars, breath-taking stunts and calamitous mucking around". Donuts, burn-outs and fire are all trademarks of the Top Gear live shows, which has travelled the world over the past 10 years.

Vehicles used in the shows will be fitted with tyres from YOKOHAMA's range of road-going products. These will ensure that the drivers are provided with the perfect combination of consistency and grip that they need to be able to carry out their array of breath-taking stunts and precision manoeuvres with complete confidence.

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 visit Liverpool, Newcastle, Belfast, Sheffield and London during 2015. For more information or to buy tickets, go to www.topgearlive.co.uk
