Cool, welcome aboard. All weather tires on a Lotus?    Just teasing, I'm sure there are some people who could help you out there. I'm just not one of them! |

Welcome!
By all weather tires, do you mean tires that can be driven in the rain or all seasons?

I used to sublimate my enthusiasm for cars in the interest of fiscal conservatism and practicality.
Well, FORGET THAT NOW!!!

I don't know if they make them in Elise sizes, but I just put a pair of Goodyear F1D's on my Esprit and they are excellent in the wet and dry
