Tires

Bridgestone RE040
The Elise S2 is delivered with unique tyres developed jointly between Bridgestone and Lotus. These Bridgestone Potenza RE040 tyres are 175/55R16 front and 225/45R17 rear. The Potenza RE040 was developed to provide good traction along with responsive and predictable dry and wet road handling. It is not intended to be driven in the snow.

Yokohama A048 LTS
Lotus have recently launched a Yokohama tyre which has been jointly developed for road and track use. It is a heavy cut slick tyre and it looks excellent and provides excellent grip in the dry when the optimal temperature is reached. Wet weather performance is debatable and these are not generally recommended for every day road use since it is hard to get them up to temperature.

Yokohama Advan Neova LTS
Yokohama and Lotus have jointly developed the Advan Neova LTS tyre to specifically suit the original Elise and give 340R owners an all weather tyre option for their car. The all new asymmetric & unidirectional trend pattern not only looks fantastic but also enhances the ride quality and handling balance. This unique tyre features an Aquacut Gullwing curved tread pattern with superior high speed water channeling power & compounding technology derived from years of experience on the circuit giving improved levels of balance between dry & wet conditions.
