The other argument could be that by going away from runflats with their stiffer sidewall, you may in fact have a negative impact on handling.

Lotus might give you more detailed explanation, but the key factor having lighter tyres is the fact that "not suspensioned" weight is less than before.
The less you have "not suspensioned" weight, the better car should handle.
