Elise S2 k series with standard geometry so set up to understeer gently. Which is exactly what I've been getting on runs out. Car is on the recommended yoko v105 tyres. There a two types the ones to get have a slightly stiffer sidewall and are recommended for mercs iirc. V105 is in my experience a very competent road tyre for all seasons and daily driving. Definitely recommended. V105 thoughts coming off a no longer available very old and hard and narrower front tyre. As normal Tyre pressure sensitive. Worked best for me at 23f 25r. Rides nice compliant and quiet. Softer sidewall and tread pattern? That very small nuance of Initial turn in to me feels not as sharp. My feel was a v. Slight delay between turn in and feeling the tyre react. Just not as sharp or darty as on my past tyre. Due to softer tyre wall I suspect.(?). I've been loading the fronts up into a corner then progressively leaning on them through the corner. Gentle understeer controllable with right foot but sooner and more than I'd been used to previously. So in isolation no complaints. Rides nicely. Can make decent progress at road speeds but relatively speaking a drop in all round performance and less turn in feel than my previous tyre. Driven sensibly in the wet so no real insight to offer but no complaints. I've read on forums they are great in the wet? Rather than change geo to reduce understeer I've bought a set of ad08rs to see 'ceretis paribus' what if any difference they make to the driving experience and whether or not it was worthwhile purchase. Ad08rs. Is a road tyre with a little bit more track potential than the v105. BTW the other tyre i nearly got was the nagkang ns2r. Much cheaper than the ad08 and some great reviews. Its also the control tyre for an mx5 race series. Ad08rs Looks - awsome. much more sporty. Symmetrical tread. Technicals. For the same width of tyre there appears to be more ad08rs rubber in contact with the road The rubber itself is more tacky than the v105. It has a wear rating of 200 vs 280 for the v105. Interestingly the wet weather grip rating is A which is exactly the same as the v105. Anyway thats it for now. Road test to follow.
