Lotus Exige S Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Yokohama Advan A048 given 57% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on track for 1000 spirited miles
Size given for rears - fronts 195/50x16. Review is for the Lotus-specific version of the tyre which has different sidewall stiffness.

Extremely difficult to unstick without provocation in the dry. Pretty much impossible to get the ABS to work braking from high speed, even braking quite clumsily. Very stiff sidewalls hence not very progressive. They need heat in to work, which combined with the relative lack of tread means they're a handful in the wet. On a cold, wet day you can't get enough heat in them for them to work at all which makes it a bit like driving on ice.

Wear - about 2/3 worn after 3000 miles. Comfort - oh come on!
