Ce Conti n'est pas un pneu Track mais un pneu route à fort pourcentage de sculpture négative. Il a été développé pour les moyennes à grosses berlines. Il sera donc acceptable pour un usage routier - encore que sa carcasse est bien résistante pour les faibles poids de nos lotus - mais sera largué pour un usage circuit...
Par contre, il aura certainement un bon rendement kilométrique et repoussera efficacement l'aquaplanning en comparaison de yoko ou autres "track tires"...
Perso, ce ne sera jamais mon choix pour une elise S1...

réponse de Lotus themselves :
The USA version of the Elise is factory fitted with Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 tyres. These tyres have now been approved for use on all 'Mk.2' Elise as an alternative service fitment to the standard Bridgstone Potenza RE040.
The Yokohama tyres provide benefits in terms of steering feel, dry grip and track use longevity, although the Bridgestones may be preferred for ride comfort and wet grip. The tyres may be fitted on any standard specification 'Mk.2' Elise wheels using the 5.5 in. front rim size (or the soon to be introduced 6.0 in. forged wheel).
For optimum handling balance, it is recommeded that the tyres be fitted only in complete vehicle sets. Mixed axle sets may produce unstable handling
characteristics in either dry or wet conditions.
Tyre Specification
Type: Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 'LTS'
Size: - front 175/55 R16 80W
- rear 225/45 R17 91W
Part numbers - front A121G0007L
- rear A121G0006L
Pressure: - front 1.8 bar
- rear 2.0 bar
Notes
-The AD07 tyre construction has been developed specifically for the Lotus Elise, and is identified by the letters 'LTS' moulded on the sidewall.
Ensure that any tyre to be fitted is so marked.
-The AD07 tyres are directional, but not handed. Ensure that the direction of rotation arrow points forwards on both front and rear wheels.
-Note that these tyres are not the same as the Yokohama Advan Neovas (AD05/AD06) approved for 'Mk.1' Elise.
I hope this information is of some help.
