Tyres 'scrubbing' when manouvering - please enlighten me!


Recommended Posts

Hi Group

I'm loving my new (to me) Evora but have a question.... When I maneuver IE reverse or drive in and out of a parking space I get some wheel feedback and a scrubbing noise from the front tyres.  It really just feels like like the tyre treads are rubbing against the road surface.  I really put it down to the light weight at the front of the car and I recall both my Elise's 20 years ago had  similar characteristics but to a lesser extent,  but I just want a proper heads up!

2014 Evora S, 4500 miles on P-Zero Corsas

Thanks

Bozzie

It's 100 times worse in the winter when tyres are cold.

Blessed with the competence to be a slave to the incapable.

Currently without a Lotus, Evora 400 Hethel Edition in Racing Green with Red leather and 2010 Evora N/A in Laser Blue and 1983 Lotus Excel LC Narrow body in Ice Blue all sadly gone.

Pirellis seem really prone to this, especially in the winter. Wish my fronts were wear our quicker, so I can change them to Michelins 😀

The 400 is worse than my n/a was and that runs MPSS.
