Recalling the Top Gear episode where Clarkson complains of understeer on the stock Elise, till the Lotus company driver shows him how it's done – the Lotus driver basically said Lotus supplied small front tires so the average driver would not as easily get oversteer. He suggested that larger front tires could be supplied and would be appropriate for highly-skilled drivers.
