As per title - any harm in mixing brands front to rear? Cheers

Yep, always been very happy with cup 2s on other cars but they don't make a 235/35/20 for the front - any other tyre suggestions for track work?

get a set up OZ Allegerita (or whatever the cheapish light ones are called) in a size that allows you to run the tyres you want?
It's a possibility - any significant drop in performance moving from 20 to 19 fronts?

Helpful comments - Any deterioration in ultimate grip by dropping fronts to 19 and keeping same width?

If I remember correctly your Spyder has ceramics, if so I suspect nothing short of 20 wheels will fit over the discs.
Went for steels due to bias toward track use and there seems to be room to drop down (incidentally steel braking performance is exemplary)

I stand corrected (thanks to the insoles) and have experienced your Boxster at Oulton when you also had the Lotus in attendance. Yes, the steel brakes work fine.
Cheers Bubbles - Lotus 211 semi retired at the moment as Spyder is much more fun in the rain!!
