Thanks all.

Mark how many mm of tread have the AO48's left?

Russ,

The 111R now comes with Elise specific Yoko's these day instead of the Bridgestones. A07s IIRC.

I have them and they are bloody great. Difficult to get hold of, but Elise Parts price them very competitively and I got my delivered straight to the local Elise independant.

In short... recommended.

Thats the ones I meant Nick. I think those may suit in the long run but I
would love to try the semi slicks.

Russ, they're OK tread wise, probably a couple of thousand miles or one hard trackday left, they aren't long lasting tyres;



Here's the tread wear indicator;



I'd sell you them cheap though, I'm not looking to make anything on them.

I'm from Yorkshire, it's like watching a world class staring competition, watching 2 Yorkshiremen coming to an agreement over price.

No one, and I mean no one from Yorkshire wants to blink first.....
