Ok so after reading through that lot this is what I understand:

Advan Neovas are good in dry but if you're an all year round driver you need the C drives?

I'm confused, is this right?

Nope.

The Advan Neova LTS were developed by Yokohama specifically for the S1 Lotus Elise. They are superb tyres in all conditions. The C-drives seem to be a cheaper alternative not (AFAIK) specifically designed for the Elise, but recommended.

If you want a really good all round tyre the Advan Neova LTS are the weapons of choice.

Are the Advan Neova LTS, still only available from Stealers ??

[westy182]

Cool thanks for explaining. I'll look for the Advans then. Can anyone tell me what the Yoko A680 is cos i'm having difficulties find anywhere local that does Advans!

Yep, those are the badboys. Ring a few places and get some quotes. Sinclaires (Romford) will be able to supply and fit for instance.
