Leading tyre manufacturer, Yokohama India has launched a new tyre in its BluEarth series named the 'BluEarth-GT AE51'. The company stated that the inspiration in designing the BluEarth-GT AE51 tyres came from the Grand Touring concept. The company mentioned in a release that the tyre has both the performance and comfort every customer seeks.
BluEarth-GT AE51 is proudly 'Made In India' at Yokohama India's state of the art manufacturing unit at Bahadurgarh, Haryana. Nitin Mantri, Chairman Yokohama India said, "At Yokohama we look at the bigger picture that goes beyond pure financials. In 2010, we launched the BluEarth series, aimed at being Environment friendly, Human friendly and Social friendly. GT is the latest addition to this family."
He added that,"With significant development in road infrastructure, there has been an increase in demand for better cars which in turn demands higher rim sizes and with the changing landscape, there is also an ever growing need for performance without compromising on comfort - that is where BluEarth-GT comes in."
