Ian C Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I've currently got Yokohama A048 LTS on my Exige S. I try to only go out in the dry, and most driving is to and from track days (hoping to do 12 this year). I need some new rear tyres and I'm shocked at the price of the Yokies, should I be switching to a different tyre? So, my questions are: What tyres do you run? And would you recommend them? What type of driving do you do? What would you recommend for me? Thanks Ian

jonnyfox Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 888's great wet or dry. On, to or from track days only. It's not my everyday drive.
Ian C Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 888's are currently my fave to replace the A048's.
scatty Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 The prices go up when you stick LTS on the end. Id follow mr fox and go 888's if its not a daily drive... And save some dosh.
