FULLERTON, Dec. 29, 2009: The 2010 Toyota Prius and the 2010 Toyota 4Runner are the latest additions to Yokohama Tire Corporation’s growing OE fitment program. The third-generation Prius is sporting the company’s AVIDŽ S33D tire in size P195/65R15 89S, while the 4Runner is running on GeolandarŽ G96B tires in size P245/60R20 107H. The OE fitments cover the U.S. and Canadian markets, with the 4Runner fitment also available in Mexico.

“Both of the fitments are on extremely popular vehicles,” said Jeremy Kahrs, Yokohama manager, OE Sales. “The Toyota Prius is an iconic hybrid car that matches perfectly with Yokohama’s long-standing environmental principles. The Toyota 4Runner is the classic midsize SUV and has been for decades. It has a strong reputation for on- and off-road performance and durability, as do our Geolandar tires. That’s why this fitment is such an ideal match.”
