Built For Speed The Lotus Exige

The continuing collaboration between Lotus and Yokohama Tires continues as the Lotus chose to have Yokohama ADVAN A048 tires for the high performance Lotus Exige. Yokohama tires are already the official tires on The Lotus Elise. The Lotus Exige is engineered particularly for the racetrack, where maximum grip and immediate steering response are extremely crucial. As a result, Lotus has picked Yokohama’s ultra-high-performance ADVAN A048s as the tires of choice for the lightweight Lotus Exige.

“We’re pleased to work again with Lotus and thrilled they selected Yokohama as OE on the Exige,” said Jeff Chippie , Yokohama manager. “The ADVAN A048 is designed in particular for the Exige’s racetrack-like performance. It’s a super lightweight sports auto which has 190 h.p. And can go 150 Miles per hour . The ADVAN A048 is the ideal tire for the vehicle’s exceptional handling and reply and brings out the best in the Exige, that has its own racing series in the United Kingdom. “

In addition to being the OE tires for the Lotus Exige, Yokohama Tires’ flagship ADVAN line is now original hardware on plenty of other world’s fastest and most prestigious autos, for example the Bentley Continental GT, Bentley’s Continental Flying Spur, the Lotus Elise, 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera four, and Lexus GS300 and GS430.

The ADVAN A048 is Yokohama’s Street-Legal Competition tire engineered for the drivers of vehicles racing in autocross competition, track faculties, lapping days and circuit-type club racing. The Yokohama A048 was developed from Yokohama racing technology for a selection of vehicles that include the 18-inch rim diameter fitments used on the Porsche 911, Porsche 911 Turbo, Porsche Boxster and others.

On the outside, the ADVAN A048 molds a race-ready compound that provides dry grip over a good range of temperatures into a 6/32-inch deep, “single block” tread design that increases tread stiffness and includes a wide center area that stays in continuous contact with the track to enhance cornering stability, on-center feel and steering response. As the tire’s outer shoulder tread wears from hard cornering, the Yokohama A048’s directional tread design and symmetric internal construction allows worn tires to be remounted “inside-out” on their wheels to help prolong the life of the Yokohama A048 tires. We suggest shaving ADVAN A048 tires to between 3/32″ to 4/32″ of tread depth for competitive road racing.
