Just thought I would share my recent tire research/purchase. My car is a 2006 Elise with the touring package and stock wheels. After much google-fu-ing the site, current tire selections for stock wheels is rather lacking in thread content. After talking to one of the experts at Tirerack, I just bought BF Goodrich G-Force Comp2's, 205/45-16 front, 225/45-17 rear. Had them put on the rims (carry-in) at wally world. Total was right at five bills. These replaced the Kumho Ecsta's that were on the car when I bough it, fairly worn (down to the wear bars on one rear) and hard. Took the car into work today. Increased grip is quite impressive.
