From the place you leave feedback Burke. Me & Robbie have had 2 sets from there now & whilst I doubt they were "Fresh stock" they are great value for the money.

Better to stick with something proven I guess. I'm driving the demo car again at the moment while mine's in the shop and it's got AO48's on it. Scary in the torrential rain but when it dries out they're impressive
Haven't seen them mentioned really on SELOC or Pistonheads. Elise is very sensitive to tyres so buy the best you can. Kumho V70A or A050 are quickest but depends on your front wheel width. I run 48's due to wheel width. Thread on AussieElises about it.

The 888's on the old STi were good value. The Dunlops were quicker and didn't go off as quick though

Sorry for off topic! I'll go back to the Lotus forums.....

So yet another brand they wont send to us.
Tirerack won't ship Yokohama or Toyo here either.

If you use Shipporter they can be used as a mail forwarder to purchase from Tirerack, cost is around $213 (that's using 4 225x17 ad08's) to your door. Would be quite slow as they come on a ship, but might still save money. There is a fee to use an assisted buying service on top of this, not sure how much it is though
