Hi everyone I opted for a set Yokohama's A052 in 215/265 because of the positive experience with the AD08 on my Daily driver. After a trackday and some trips on country roads, the rear ones are now already gone! That was only about 1200 miles, which surprised me very much. The grip is great and the steering precision significantly better than with the Cup2. The tire is also super predictable and worked quite well for me on wet roads. It makes a lot of fun, but becomes too expensive. The Michelin I would also no longer consider, because the sidewalls are really too soft and the steering therefore becomes inaccurate. Next I would like to test the AD09 from Yokohama, which gets very good reviews.

Hi Lotus community Last year I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream and buy my Lotus Exige 410 Sport. My brother was a car mechanic for a long time and worked on Lotus / Caterham. When they had a grey Exige S1 in the showroom in 2000, I was thrilled. The dream of one day owning such a car was permanently implanted in my brain. As a realization became more possible, I rented an Elise S in 2020 and a Seven Roadsport in 2021 for 3 days each. Since I didn't felt comfortable in the Seven, it was clear that it would be a Lotus. First I looked around for an Elise S3 or Exige S2. When I test drove an Elise 250 cup, I was not 100% convinced and asked for a test drive with the Exige 410 Sport. The test drive was overwhelming! This car was exactly what I was looking for. The presence of the engine and the sound were incredible. Immediately I knew I needed a V6. Six months later I had found a suitable Exige and bought it. Since I live in Switzerland, I enjoy my Exige primarily on the local alpine passes and once or twice a year on a race track. Now that I've been reading the forum for a while, I'll be participating a bit more in the future and hope to contribute something valuable from time to time. Below two pictures of my Exige. Bruno
