Yes, Potenza S001 tires on standard LFA, which are non high-grip tires. Lexus decided to not give the standard LFA high-grip tires.

The Nurburgring Edition comes with stickier Potenza RE70 tires, which are high-grip tires, but still nowhere as sticky as the racing compound super-slick tires like Michelin Pilot Cup or Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires that majority of the supercars are wearing these days.

in this video, the driver seems to have trouble putting the power down.

Fifth Gear Web TV - Lexus LFA Hot Lap - YouTube



also found a ring lap ... but hard to get a feel of handling at those speeds.

OTOH, properly prepped it seems to measure up to some of the best. (ring records)

10 sec faster than the GT-R or the GT2
