The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. have announced that it is supplying its “ADVAN Sport V107” tyres as original equipment (OE) tyres for the BMW M2 high-performance compact sports car that was launched by the German automaker BMW M GmbH in April 2024. The sizes are 275/35ZR19 (100Y) for the front and 285/30ZR20 (99Y) for the rear.
The “ADVAN Sport V107” is an ultra-high performance tyre in Yokohama Rubber’s global flagship ADVAN brand. The tyres being supplied to the BMW M were jointly developed with the automaker. While employing a specialised tread pattern to combine their pass-by acceleration noise performance with steering stability, Yokohama’s original “Mound Profile” technology ensures more uniform surface contact that further contributes to their superior dry performance and wear resistance.
The tyres also have received the EU labelling system’s highest “A” grade for wet performance. For the tyres’ carcass material, which forms the tyre’s skeleton, material designed for high-power premium cars has been adopted and delivers excellent steering stability.

The tyres were perfected through testing on the Nürburgring, which is widely considered to be the world’s most demanding test course. BMW Group cars use OE tyres from a select group of tyre manufacturers, and the sidewall of all selected tyres bear BMW’s star mark symbol of approval, which indicates the German automaker’s recognition of the tyre manufacturers’ technical capabilities, quality and reliability.
