Are you sure it is the rear wheels? This sounds very much like the effect of the anti ackerman angle which happens on lock (and is normal). It's worse in cold weather if you are new to an Evora, so may not have noticed it so much in warmer weather. 

Blessed with the competence to be a slave to the incapable.

Currently without a Lotus, Evora 400 Hethel Edition in Racing Green with Red leather and 2010 Evora N/A in Laser Blue and 1983 Lotus Excel LC Narrow body in Ice Blue all sadly gone.

I’d be very surprised if it isn’t what Colin says, as the weather got colder at the weekend mine has started doing it again.

It can be quite alarming admittedly, I recon you’ll be reporting back soon Russ that all is well 😎

Which tyre brand’s fitted to your car, Pirelli? Think I read somewhere that swapping to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S cures the anti-Ackerman quirk. An expensive fix unless you were planning to replace them anyway so maybe live with it for now? Not a problem as such anyway if it is that, as others have suggested.

Mines a 400 so already on MPSS. I wouldn’t say it’s any less than my N/A was. Simple cure. Don’t use full lock.
