===S2 Elise===

Lotus engineers have worked with the tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, to produce a version of the
‘Potenza’ tyre specifically for the ‘Mk.2’ Elise, to optimise performance on both road and track.
This tyre is identified by the construction code element of the DOT code moulded on one of the tyre sidewalls, and it
is most important that ONLY this version is fitted if the correct handling characteristics are to be maintained.
The rear tyre is NOT the same as fitted to Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220. 

Lotus front tyre code; CFE.

Lotus rear tyre code; DCK.

The S2 Elise uses different hubs from the S1, with roadwheels having a larger diameter and PCD, such
that there is no interchangeability between models. Rimstock wheels with both 6 and 8 spoke designs have been used, both of which are retained with four conical wheelbolts.
Some 8 spoke wheels are
finished in ‘high power silver’ which can be very difficult to shade match.
