First of all what is a Tuscan and what is a TVR? Got any pics/links?

TVR are a small British sports car manufacturer. The Tuscan is the sexiest car in the world and a third of the price of a Ferrari 360, but just as fast:

On the tire issue, I have a solution. Drive your MX5 when it's raining. The balder the tire is, the more traction you have. Except when it's wet. Who wants to drive a fast car in the rain anyways?

Ah, you've not spent much time in the UK have you ?
