“Street” tires suggestions

Post by thewelder »

Now that the lotus is street legal it is time to replace the build tires with some new rubber. Right now I am on BFG rivals in the 245/15. I don’t plan on driving in the rain so that isn’t a concern. If I do get caught out I will manage. Would like to stay in the size and I need something with good grip on a very light car. Let me know what you all suggest. Thanks.

On a car like that, for what you are using it for, I would go with one of the fast 200tw tires. Bridgestone RE71RS or Falken RT660 would be my first choices.
