Sorry mate - oxymoron!
Can get from MMC, with a 5% discount on a pair. LTS spec are lotus dealer only, so its either touch your toes or get from eliseparts (neither of which be cheap).
Cheers,
Greg

Least expensive would be more appropriate! You can apparently get non LTS tyres cheaper and the difference is minimal. Dunno where from though....

Remember you've still to add fitting to that.
Try phoning MMC and ask how much they'll do them for, as Greg said you should get 5% a pair (or 10% for a full set

) when you ask for the SE discount.
