Try getting performance tires in 13”. It’s all Tesla’s fault! With everyone jumping on the EV band wagon tire manufactures are designing and making tires for the weight of all those batteries.

The sidewalls are kinda soft on the A052 so the steering feel is not that great but they are almost mandatory to be competitive in AutoX anymore. Or the RE71RS. Light car like the Lotus the sidewall may not be as noticeable.

The wife has been looking at getting a little sporty car of her own. She has thought about Sprite's, Midget’s, B’s, Triumph’s we even looked at a Europa. Most run on 13” wheels. Many Seven owners, (Lotus/Caterham/Birkin/Westfield/etc.) prefer 13” wheels and run taller sidewalls. All these makes have forums where a major thread topic is devoted to finding tires for their preferred wheel size.

If I was going to get a small "vintage" sports car, there's only one thing I would buy, a MK1 MR2, which ran on 14" wheels. Man, I miss that car more than any I've ever owned.
