Good video and he was clearly impressed bearing in mind it's a GT not an Elise competitor.

Bigger tyre sizes are interesting - I'll bear that in mind when mine need replacing.

I watched this one recently too - UK channel and yet another positive review.

in a nutshell with 21 inch wheels you can go up to 295s on the back and 265s on the front

Useful link thanks. The video car went from 245 to 255 front and 275 to 295 rear - the slightly bigger sizes seem to offer a slightly larger choice of tyre brands plus I’d hope there’d be improved kerb protection - damaging the wheels is the one big worry on the LC for me! I had an AMG Merc that felt like the back end was on ice skates and it turned out the visibly bulging rear Pirellis were 10mm wider than stock so the sidewalls were really flexing on corners. I’d guess the low profiles on the LC would avoid that.
