Tyre sizes for S2 Elise 111R

[Lee281275]

Apart from the usual choices Ad07, R888, AO48, and T1R tyres has anyone ever found a tyres for S2 Elise that they are would recommend ? The above choices are track tyres or in the T1R not that good what about a good fast road tyre in 195/50/16 and 225/45/17 I have searched and just when you think you have found some the manufacturer don't do it in a matching set.
The fronts wheel sizes are 6" forged wheels so also interested what other sizes owners use on this rim

Usual choices on SELOC seem to be AD07 all round, AD07 front/AD08(R) rear or Kumho Ku31. The Kumho doesn't get good reviews for track work but seems to get positive reviews on road driving.

I would not say that the AD07/AD08 were track tyres, not in the way that an R888 or A048 is. AD08R all round would be my choice, though I have 6.5 inch wide front wheels (Exige Y-spokes) which allow me to use 205/45/16. I don't know whether those will be OK on 6 inch wheels. 195/50/16 should be fine, though, which would give you more choice than 175/55/16.

The AD07/AD08 is definitely not a track tyre. Yes it's at the "dry focused" end of the road tyre spectrum but I've run my car on AD07s for the last 9 years all year round and they've performed fine except on actual snow. If you want to drive on snow get proper winter tyres and/or another car.
