Yokohama A539

[tuscan_thunder]

Anyone use these?

I might put a set on, I know they're a decent tyre on other cars but just wondered if anyone's got any experience of them on the Elise?

I'd have to go to 195 width instead of 185 on the front.

Thanks

Hi, I have these on my S1. When they were fitted (I had Yoko AVS before) I hated them as they seemed to give a lot of side wall flex and it felt very loose on the back end.

I have to say, they now feel a lot better, it could be that I have got used to them or they have just stiffened up after use which I would expect.

I have used A539 in the past on Golf GTI's and Sierra 4x4's and I have had mixed views.

Time will tell, I won't fit them again on the Elise though, I will try something else.

The AVS lasted 11,000 miles before, time will tell what the A539's are like....

A039s are better

Also got these on my S1 - fitted by previous owner.

Good all round tyre, can tramline a little though with bad cambers etc.
