This is the fun part of this forum. Tony, my apologies, it was Tune To Win I was refering to earlier. You do understand why I'm super cautious about taking advice from persons I don't know.....the input is welcomed though. For me this is where the real fun of Lotus ownership and operation is achieved.

oh I do indeed know, Keith. Sad as it is, I've spent many years chatting to folk on car forums and some of the stuff that appears can be startling. Bizarely people always want to believe the guy talking nonesense and not the guy talking sense! (Not in reference to anyone here - he quickly adds! )
It's certainly prompted some brain thought here, and having thought (and been told) more about the tyres I can underestand why they might be used. Never thought of that one - neat trick for cheap wet weather race tyres!
I think I'll need a cup of tea and a further ponder on these questions.
My own race car setup if much easier as the MG has a heavy old live axle flapping around at the back so I'm limited in what I can adjust.
