The Lotus Grand Tourers

It is funny that you guys seem reserved about fitting the Pirelli tyre just because of the price. Of all cars where i would think you would be keen to keep the handling as good as possible i would have thought a Lotus would be one. so of all the components within the car the tyres would be the last ...
