Where is the best place to get myself a set of yoko's for my s1 111s elise?

Need I go to Formula 1 or are there alternatives?

They have quoted 441 for all 4 supplied and fitted and with this being my first set, I'm unsure if that's the going price?

cheers

Depends what flavour of Yoko's I suppose?

Camskill are normally very good, not sure if they do the size/type you need im not clued up with S1 sizes. Downside is you have the hassel of taking them somewhere to get fitted once there delivered.

Try C&S tyres in middlesborough, ive used them for R888's on the Exige. Again not sure if they do the size/type you need.

Or ask F1 for a discount...always worth an ask.

I need 225/45/16's for the rear and 195/50/15's for the front.

I'm going for the Yoko advan neova's as I use my elise as a daily drive.

The prices quotes by f1 are pretty much the same as eliseparts and eliseshop plus they do the fitting and balancing at no extra cost so I think I'm just going to bite the bullet when I get paid.

Sounds like F1 are the way to go then.

Out of interest, what tyres are on there now? Would be interested to hear what you think of the Neovas.

Quite right. C&S tyres have always shown proper respect for alloys and the boss Mark Campbell races very successfully in the D&DMC series. He'll happily advise on compound, tread, tyre types and appropriate pressures.

Call them on 01642 245339
