I think CR500s up front and CR322s on the back. Probably pumped to 40psi! Not recommended on the road...

I did a circuit day with Caterham and my instructor described the set up as "pointy" suggesting the rear anti-roll bar was set for the previous days drifting.

CR500 tyres up front, nice sticky track day suitable tyres, designed for the Seven
CR322s on the rear. Energy saving economy tyres, which last a season of Academy racing, over inflated for extra effect.

In addition I believe they take the front anti-roll bar off, put a lot of rake to the front in too. This makes it all handle quite a lot like a slot car, but loads of fun!

As above, I also found that old A539s were good for me on the rear when drifting at the Supercar Event.
