Exclusive: The tire chosen for Transformers’ Bumblebee

He might be called Bumblebee but the world’s most famous Chevrolet Camaro chooses an Eagle when it comes to tires.

The fifth Transformers movie, The Last Knight, is currently filming in the British capital of London, where Bumblebee has delighted locals and tourists alike by shooting a chase scene past iconic landmarks including Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. Traction News spotted the 2016 Custom Chevy Camaro outside the Queen’s London residence on Sunday.
