Tyre Change

[doe]

Hi i am looking to change my tyres on my S1 but not to sure what to replace them with. Could some point me into the right direction with makes and size, not looking to spend mega bucks. Thanks

Yokohama Advan Neova LTS - they only come in the right size for the Elise. Make sure you get LTS as they are for the LoTuS!!

Agree 100%

Thirded. Should be a touch over £400 for a full set.

Don't cut corners when it comes to quality tyres because they're what hold you on the road.

Thanks for that.

Don't TOYO make an Elise specific tyre now? Or now that Pirelli are out of the market is the Yokohama the only one?

Yoko Neova's all the way.

Also make sure the pressures are checked regularly. I have been a bit slack in this department and hadnt checked mine for ages and on a run on Thursday it felt really wallowy. Checked them yesterday and 3 of them were out by quite a way. Sorted them out and did a hard 220 mile run and it felt like a different car.

We're leading parallel lives mate - did exactly the same this weekend. How wierd !

And can I still only get these tyres from a Lotus dealer?

Haha davey, after that run my hands were totally black from the steering wheel.
Is it normal to have black hands after a long run?
