Good to know. Thanks!

Tire Rack appears to have them for $1482 for a full set… https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=ADVAN+NEOVA+AD09&frontTire=435WR0AD09XL&rearTire=93WR0AD09XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Lotus&autoYear=2024&autoModel=Emira&autoModClar=

Not really…Choices are really limited (right now). It’s too bad that the Bridgestone RE-71 RS doesn’t fit. If I don’t go with the Cup 2, I’ll try the Yokohama ADVAN NEOVA AD09 or ADVAN A052…but maybe I’ll get lucky and Bridgestone will size the RE-71 RS for the Emira soon!

I’m assuming you are talking about the road course and not the oval… The life of consumables like tires, brakes, rotors, etc. vary greatly by track, driving style, road surface, vehicle weight, and tire tread wear rating. I track more than just my Emira, but for the Emira I did 4 track days...

My 1M just turned over 44K miles, so about 3K miles per year. The Emira replaced my Porsche Cayman T, which was more of a daily sports car. My wife and I share a manual transmission Cayenne for true daily duties - kids, dogs, Costco…

I would also worry about an annoying and distracting reflection…even more so on track.

If the V6 is discontinued, don’t expect clean, decent mileage V6 examples to depreciate - like the Elise and Exige, prices will go up after a few years. I am also fortunate to have more cars than I can drive regularly - if you can stretch to add a manual V6 Emira, do it. I have been surprised...

Saw this on the Emira FB group:

Take a rear 3/4 angle shot of this and you’ll get my vote!

A slightly different slogan would have resonated with me: The Lotus Emira. Not just another sportscar. A sportscar like no other.

That looks great!

There are very specific lift points on the Emira (Elise, Exige, and Evora too) due to the aluminum chassis. A good example of lifting the car (including using “pucks”) may be viewed at:

I didn’t ask for details, but it was more than not properly secured - I read the manual and checked the securing fasteners…that was not the issue.

Fixed under warranty…No issues since.
