Emira cup 2 tires Q, puncture

[Iplaygoodguitar]

Had a puncture. The LTD (lotus) moniker variant are simply not available. The specs of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R 295/30R20XL 101Y BSW seem to be identical to that of the lotus variant. Does anyone know what difference is?

Tire compound. Gavan had them make dozens of test tires before he signed off on the compound mix for the Emira. That's not to say you can't use some other brand or even a non-Lotus spec Cup 2, just that the LTD tires were specifically formulated for the Emira's chassis setup.

That's helpful. Thanks so much.

Was at my lotus dealer today. They're unavailable, without any estimate as to their availability. In states.

Unfortunately, will need to go with the closest match, as my Emira is my daily. Can switch them back to parity when we replace the tires.

I thought I saw them in stock on Tire Rack?

[edit] Nope! Out of stock now.

Please at least match both sides on the same axis. It's probably fine, but I'd go the safe way..
