The development of the V105 with the participation of Mercedes-Benz engineers took place in the research center "Nürburgring" - one of the most famous racing circuits in the world. This led to the fact that even before the appearance of these UHP-tires in the retail network, they have already been homologated by the German automobile concern for a number of models.
