Has anyone Yokohamas A021s 185/70/13 on their +2?

[terryp]

Hello
Back to tyre choices ........
I currently have Goodyear 185/70/13's on the car and like the look / size of the tyre. The car has a Lotus chassis and standard suspension with ride height adjustment at the front. there has been a slight tyre rub on the front arches towards the front but I don't find this a problem
The question is has anyone Yokohamas tyres in the same size and do they fit as I understand that some tyres can be slightly wider or narrower even though the tyre size is the same.

Thanks
Terry

Hi Terry,

I've got Yokohama on my car they are 185/70 R13. Don't know if they are A021S. They look good and drive fine
I 'll try to make picture of them.

Hi Terry
A few pictures about my Yokohama tyres. Sorry for delay, my car is currently in another garage due to living room painting, so my garage is full of goods

The +2 will be back shortly
Hope this helps

Thanks Franck
Tyres now on order, unfortunately taking up valuable baked bean space in our October trip to the UK

Terry,

The perfect excuse for using the +2 on your uk trip. You can have the tyres fitted there and then and still have space for the Beans

I have Yokohama A021s 185/60/14s. They are on Spyder Minilite copies. I have Spyder IRS, and adjustable height shocks, adjusted to give 6.5" to the lower edge of the sills. No problems with clearance, except a little contact once when a wheel fell over a kerb on full lock.

They are excellent wet or dry

I also have Toyo Proxies, same size. Stickier on the track in the dry, but straight line stability on the road not so good. Not great in the wet

Se?n's wheels look fab!

The 14" and 185/60 really suit the +2!

I'll be in Terenure tomorrow, you going Se?n?

That's a negative

You obviously haven't seen my post here, near the bottom:

Sorry to hear that Se?n.

Was the only Lotus (except an M100) yesterday. Over 1000 cars.

Back on this thread:

Noticed that one of my rear tyres will soon need changing....so may have a look at some Yoko's.

Would be interested to hear how you get on Terry!

Sorry to hear that Se?n.

No prob, couldn't have happened in a better place, even got trailered home by Wexford Classic Club.
Replacement diff on the way

Was the only Lotus (except an M100) yesterday. Over 1000 cars.

Glad to here we were well represented

'Well represented' may be a bit kind (to me)

But at least there were two 'real' Lotus there.

Plenty of flavours of 7's at the kit car stand.

It took my 12 year old getting hungry to drag me away from drooling over them!

May beat you to it.

I'm probably going to order some tyres today for teh back of the car.

Really must talk to Jon about your place!
Yet again we have left booking any holiday very late this year!!

'Hope you're enjoying your holiday.

Hi,
Terry and Peter, how have you guys been coping with the 185/70 R13s Yoko's? Trawling through t'interweb for some new shoes after the alloys get polished up, cheers.
