Found an S1 Exige in the garage last week and looked at the date on the front tyres. They are 13 years old and A048 LTS. Do I buy these again of have things moved on?
Mainly road, track or a mix?
Well well well, I was hoping you’d surface again. Get some Avon ZZRs and get yourself on the reserve list for Anglesey. It would be great to hook up again and actually see your yellow beast. I’ve still got that vid of you in my car at Bedford,…‘what gear am I in?’ 
Mainly in the garage if I’m honest Rob999. I want grip though, not bothered about if they only last 250 miles.
Hi Ben, I’ve still not seen the that video!
When’s Anglesey???
It’s on Good Friday bud. See the thread in events.
You’ll like the ZZR they are now the control tyre in the Elise Trophy etc, they are even cheaper than A048!
Would be great to see you…
Where abouts are you in Northants out of interest?
As Ben says, ZZR’s are the ones.
Near Kettering Rob.
The car’s off to Matthew Bentley at the end of March so I’ll be giving this year a miss. Where would you recommend getting the ZZR’s from?
Ok Michael but let’s hook up this year once the car has been to Mr Bentley eh!
Speak to Matt, maybe we could all do a Friday night at Bedford or Donny this summer?
I’m sure Matt can get you som ZZRs or will flog you some Kuhmos which are supposedly good too (never tried them myself).
Ayrton Fluffy …
I remember him !
I remember you too, same old faces! :0)
Been having a quick search for a price on-line for ZZR’s, not sold by EP, SL or ES. Does anyone know the price for a set of fronts and a set of rears?
What I did find was a set of budget 195 50 16 for about £36 and 5 star reviews. Has anyone tried those yet?
Kuhmo V70a seem to be the tyre of choice down here … 205/45/16 front and 235/40/17 rear - Medium compound
My A048 look a little tired so will be trying those next time … unless I need larger ones
Hi Andy,
Is that on the standard rims?
Hope you and the car are all good, it’s partly your fault I ended up with mine after meeting you at Bedford. Still wish I could have got hold of a black one.
Matt Bentley will do you a good deal on V70s as he stock em Michael.
All good thanks 
, that was a few years ago now !!
Yup standard Exige rim widths
V70’s are very good… but definitely go for the mediums and not the softs… I have destroyed a set of front softs in a day.
You should slow down a bit Dave, you will get loads more out of them then mate!
Hahaha! 
I’m getting older and slower all the time buddy 
I’ve done 1500 miles in 9 years. Do they do a super soft?
