Yokohama Power Classic Himalayan Drive 2025 Expedition (Press Release) | V3Cars

Here’s what Yokohama India have to say about the Classic Himalayan Drive 2025:

The Classic Himalayan Drive 2025 concluded its 10-day motoring expedition supported by Yokohama India, bringing together over 60 classic and vintage cars from UK, France, Kenya, Bhutan and India. The event celebrated heritage motoring by retracing iconic rally routes, uniting enthusiasts, and showcasing vehicles spanning multiple decades of automotive engineering. The drive wrapped up on a note that was both nostalgic and inspiring.

Across the ten days, participants navigated a wide range of terrains and elevations through Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. The route covered Noida, Corbett, Rishikesh, Mussoorie, Theog, and Manali, including key high-altitude sections such as Jalori Pass (10,800 ft) and Rohtang Pass (13,095 ft) via the Atal Tunnel. The drive combined smooth highways, gravel stretches, narrow hill climbs, and cold-weather routes representative of classic Himalayan motoring conditions.

A dedicated Yokohama Club Network Pitstop was set up at Batra Tyres, Chandigarh. The facility supported the entire convoy with tyre checks, alignment and balancing services, and essential inspections after the high-altitude sections. This stop ensured that the vehicles were road-ready for the final stretch and served as a key technical checkpoint of the drive.

Speaking on the drive completion, Rajiv Batra, Batra Tyres, said,

 

Events like the Classic Himalayan Drive push vehicles to perform across varied and demanding conditions. We are proud that Yokohama tyres remain the preferred choice for drivers seeking reliability and control. Seeing enthusiasts place their confidence in Yokohama reinforces our commitment to delivering performance that is matched by long-term dependability on every drive.

A participant from the drive expressed his take on Yokohama tyres, saying,

 

I completed nearly 2,500 kilometres during the drive, and the Yokohama tyres delivered consistent grip and comfort across every surface we encountered. They are soft enough for classic cars yet stable and reliable on high-altitude sections and tight turns. I’ve been using Yokohama tyres on all my classics for over five years, and the performance on this drive reaffirmed why. For a car like my 1977 Peugeot 504, the fit, handling, and control were exactly what I needed for a long-distance run like this.
