Elsie 'S' Tyres
Discussion
Mine is fitted with the AD 07's which are apparently a dealer only supply.
My dealer just quoted £310 all-in for a pair of rears, while Hanger 111 quoted £266, but I'll need to pay extra get them fitted.
the 111 guys appear to be offering 'US Spec' tyres - are these the same as the UK, or are there any other options for the 'S' than the AD 07s ?
The fronts still have a lot of life in them after 11k.
Incidentally, the fronts on the 'S' seem to be wearing much more evenly than the previous S1 and S2 cars I've owned.
Hi there, AD07's are the preffered option round here for Elise S and R and SC. (If you look at the other treads etc)
They are all LOT spec from Hanger 111 and Elise Parts, AD07's are LOT spec for the Elise indicated by a Red Dot. (Unless I am corrected on here)
That price is about the going rate, and probably worth doing at the dealer then you dont have the bother of finding a good fitter etc. (Unless you know one)
Hope that helps....

On the plus side, that's about the cheapest you'll get them fitted for 
AD07s seem to wear a little quicker than the Bridgestones .. I went through 3 pairs of rears and 1 pair of fronts in 20 months and 20000 miles around 7k miles per set of rears and 14k for the fronts ...I did enjoy myself though 
they were awesome in the wet and dry imho. I never tried Bridgestones on the elise the yokos were just too good.

Got Bridgestone's on the oil burner and there good fun in the wet with the traction control off, but would not wont them on the Elise !
Cheers for checking R Racer - wish could get them for nearer 200!
