SANTA ANA, CA – Yokohama Tire Corporation is joining the Circus… Nitro Circus, that is.

Yokohama Tire, a leading global tire manufacturer, is joining forces with Nitro Circus, the world’s leading action sports and entertainment brand, to spotlight Yokohama’s rugged GEOLANDAR line of light truck tires to Nitro Circus’ high-energy, hardcore fan base.

Yokohama is now the exclusive tire of the Nitro Circus Live Tour in the United States. Inspired by the Nitro Circus television phenomenon created by global superstar Travis Pastrana, Nitro Circus Live is an adrenalin-fueled action sports show featuring the world’s best athletes in FMX, BMX, Skate and more. It has played to sold-out stadiums across the country. The 2017 U.S. Nitro Circus Live Tour kick starts June 3 in Ames, Iowa.
