An update for anyone who is interested. It turns out, on closer inspection, I have RE050s fitted at the mo, and the last set were too! As far as I was able to tell there was bugger all wrong with how they gripped and handled. Until now, that is (they are starting to look like my head).
So, RE050s again would be fine, but I found some RE040s in VX220 spec and figured they would be as near as damnit to what Lotus intended and so I have ordered a pair. £198 delivered, from Camskill.
A lot better than shelling out £360 for a pair of YOKOs that don't even match the fronts, methinks.

I have fitted RE50's to my Exige very recently. The only problem i have had is they understeer more than the AD08's i had on it, but i guess thats safer in the slippy conditions then bucket loads of opposite lock and a lack of talent
The only problem i had was they did not do the in the same size as my front AD08's so had to get a lower profile tyre, so the nose is a bit lower(and thus taking speed bumps even slower then normal).
