Hankook also a decent option for slicks. Fastest time at LCS Spring Mountain was on Hankook, very soft compount; however, driver (Brent) thought the Yoko slick is better.
I ran Hankook on my S1 and found they went off pretty quickly, i.e., by 2nd heat cycle,
rather bad by end of track day, barely usable into 2nd day.

The yoko slick from Lotus is specific to Lotus car. Not the same construction and compound as other A005 Yoko. Downside is slick thru Lotus is more expensive, but nice tire. Lap times are consistent to within minutes of cording the tire - great enduro tire.
However, not the fastest tire for short time trials - need to get tire up to temp on 1st lap.
