Vizag: Global tyre giant Yokohama Rubber Company is tightening its grip on India’s fast-growing automotive aftermarket with the launch of a new Yokohama Club Network (YCN) outlet in Visakhapatnam. And no, this isn’t just another tyre shop—it’s where your car finally gets the VIP treatment it always believed it deserved.
The newly inaugurated outlet, Sri Venkateshwara Tyres, marks the third YCN store in Vizag and is strategically located in NGGO’s Colony, an upscale locality in the coastal city. With this addition, Yokohama is not just selling tyres—it’s quietly building a premium ecosystem for tyre care in one of Andhra Pradesh’s most important automotive hubs.
Led by dealer Mr. Raju, the outlet brings together Yokohama’s high-performance tyre portfolio with advanced service capabilities and trained professionals. In simple terms: whether your car wants comfort, grip, efficiency, or a bit of all three, this is where it gets sorted—properly aligned, balanced, and pampered.
Speaking on the expansion, Harinder Singh, Managing Director and CEO of Yokohama India, highlighted Vizag’s strategic importance. He noted that the city not only serves as a key retail market but is also home to one of Yokohama’s manufacturing facilities—making it a crucial node in the brand’s India operations.
He added that the partnership with Sri Venkateshwara Tyres reflects Yokohama’s ongoing commitment to expanding customer touchpoints while delivering global standards backed by local expertise. In other words, international tech meets Indian road reality—a combination every driver can appreciate, especially after surviving a monsoon pothole.
Yokohama’s diverse product lineup continues to cater to a wide spectrum of customers. From the performance-focused Advan and S.drive tyres to the rugged Geolandar range for SUVs, and the eco-conscious BluEarth series, the brand ensures there’s a tyre for every driving personality. Meanwhile, the Earth1 range remains a crowd favourite, engineered specifically to tackle Indian road conditions without losing its composure—or your sanity.
With the addition of this new YCN outlet, Yokohama India is not just expanding its retail network—it’s strengthening its promise of delivering precision, performance, and peace of mind. Because at the end of the day, tyres may be the only thing between you and the road—but Yokohama seems determined to make that connection as refined as possible.
