Hallo,
aufgrund stetiger Weiterentwicklung und europäischer Geräuschnormen hat Lotus die Serienbereifung der Elise geändert. Ganz kurz gesagt bedeutet das Folgendes:
Yokohama V105 ersetzt AD07
Yokohama A052 ersetzt A048
Etwas detaillierter klingt das dann so:
Tyre Dimensions/Specifications
Yokohama V105:
The front tyre size and loading is increased to 195-50 R16 84W as compared to the original AD07 size of 175-55 R16 80W. The rear tyre size and loading remains the same (225-45 R17 91W). The sidewall/tread pattern for the V105 specification tyre is different as compared with the previous AD07 type. The new V105 specification displays ‘MO’ (Mercedes) for the rear tyres. There is no manufacturer’s code displayed on the front tyre sidewall.
Yokohama A052:
Both front and rear tyres sizes are the same as the A048 specification tyres they replace, but the loading values are increased from 84W to 88W for the front tyres and from 90W to 94W for the rear tyres. The sidewall/tread pattern for the A052 specification tyre is different as compared with the previous A048 type, which also included the ‘LTS’ branding displayed on the tyre sidewall. There is no manufacturer’s code displayed on either the front or rear tyre sidewalls.
Herzliche Grüße
Stephan
