Just used this lot for 2 new rears - excellent service next day delivery - fitted by Kwik fit mobile

at £110 less than the dealership wanted.

Just be careful the fitter knows the jack points - mine was his first Elise - but once on the right track and pointed at the blue stickers he could not have been more helpful & contentious.

£110 less than a dealer!?

How much did your dealer want for two new rears?

[cuzza]

Would I be right in thinking that the tyres for the Elise are the Advan Neova LTS (designating for a Lotus??) which is a different compound to the standard Advan Neova and has been designed for the car?

£360.00 - for 2 bridgstones I was not impressed.

[dragstar]

was that CN?

yoko's are cheaper than that, and arguably the better tyre (depends what you want from the car i suppose).

[gfun]

Come on do you think I would be seen dead at CN?

LRV - and the S2 has 17" rims so Advans were not an option

Thank god we've got bruccie, otherwise we would be stuffed up here.

I didnt know Advans werent available for the S2. learn something new etc etc
