Yokohama Tire to Feature Racing Heritage at SEMA | THE SHOPFrom sports cars to trophy trucks, Yokohama Tire’s racing heritage will be highlighted – along with several new ultra-high performance (UHP) and off-road/light truck tires, vehicles and action sports star Travis Pastrana – at its SEMA Show booth (#62118-62119) this year. The SEMA Show runs from Nov. 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Additionally, Yokohama and Nitro Circus are partnering again with SEMA Ignited to present another Nitro Circus Freestyle Motocross (FMX) show for consumers on Friday, Nov. 8.
