As they use these on the new elise/exige to improve the understeer and give more balenced oversteer, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Whether or not they were fitted to an MR2. They come in 195/50R15 and 225/45R16. Otherwise is their anything else other than the neovas worth looking at.
Thanks
(I know Yoko's are "wet weather ditch finders" but this is for the summer!)

You mean increase or reduce it? s:? :? s:?
Sorry, reduce understeer.
My cousin had these on his caterham, he swore he would never have them again as;
1) lasted less than 5000 miles (on a 500kg car)
2) gripped so well!! that they were boring
sounds to me that they are very good tyres for a track but a bit over the top for the road, and that they wont last 5 minutes
pays you money and takes your choice but i believe that they are quite expensive, another tyre you may be interested in is the toyo R888, looks very similar. They can be brought at blackcircles[/url]
Stock new Elises are fitted with AD07s; I'd suggest having a look at those. I'd only consider A032/A048 (or R888) for track - but the AD07s look interesting for road use.

They're a track tyre, they all do that sir.

Not driving it fast enough then. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Personally I found their grip level to be very good in the dry and absolutely frightening in any degree of wet. Not for road use IMO.
