Hi!
Where is the best place for buying replacement A048’s(LTS)?
(cheapest )
I’m located outside UK and have not got a local Lotus dealership.

Cheers

Thanks!
Seems like I can get the rear tyres I need for �160 from bookatrack (including the UK VAT which I don’t neeed to pay).
So I’ll give Lotus Motorsport a call tomorrow to see what sort of price they come up with

And you fooked about fitting aftermarket LSD, intercooler & roof scoop

The Fast & the Furious has a lot to answer for

Go on…tell me that the W. Midlands is a victim of climate change, & is now classed as an Equatorial Rainforest with permanently flooded thorughfares


PS If I were looking for a more “normal” tyre, I’d give the Kumhos a try too

I just got a pair of A048 rears from JCT and they cost me about �320 fitted. I looked at buying from Camskill etc etc but it’s the whole hassle of having to get them delivered then take them somewhere to get fitted - just didn’t make sense.

Ordered them Friday and they got fitted on the Saturday.

God bless NYLOC discount

I’ve just been wondering what to buy myself, I have been considering buying some A048 M’s or maybe MH’s but does anyone know how much softer these are compared to the LTS spec. I don’t really use the car one the road anymore (I have no-where to go), however I noticed that my rears were down to the wear indicators at the start of the day at Donny the w/e. This struck me as a little odd as i’ve only done 3 trackdays so far this year because of the weather?
I do want to use a softer compound on the front though as those are long gone by the time they’re only half worn.

Or maybe I should just go with the 888’s as the cost savings will soon add up over 4 sets a year?

Go for a set of ‘M’ compound 48’s they are better on track than the LTS’s by a mile. Loads more front end bite!!

I wouldn’t recomend them for loads of road miles though as I don’t reckon you would get loads of miles out of a set.
