Tyres by Car · Lotus
Lotus tyres
Lotus sports cars run grippy, staggered, often bespoke fitments. Confirm the exact front and rear sizes before buying.
Choosing tyres for a Lotus
Lotus models are built to be driven, so grip, steering precision and high-speed stability lead the choice. Many run staggered, manufacturer-approved fitments, so look for the approval marking and confirm front and rear sizes separately.
The Lotus range covered here runs to 4 models, with fitments spanning 16 to 23 inch wheels. Each runs a staggered, manufacturer-approved fitment, so the front and rear sizes differ and must be confirmed separately. Pick a model below for its common tyre sizes and the tyres worth fitting.
For tested picks, see the best performance tyres, then match the choice to how you actually drive.
All Lotus models
Sizes shown are common fitments. Your exact size depends on the generation, trim and wheels, so always confirm it from your own car.
Lotus tyres: common questions
What are the best tyres for a Lotus?
It depends on the model and how you drive. Lotus models are built to be driven, so grip, steering precision and high-speed stability lead the choice. Many run staggered, manufacturer-approved fitments, so look for the approval marking and confirm front and rear sizes separately. Pick your model for a specific, tested recommendation.
What tyre brands does Lotus recommend?
Lotus, like most manufacturers, fits premium original-equipment brands such as Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, Pirelli and Bridgestone. For replacements you are free to choose, so pick by how you drive and your budget rather than by badge alone.
How do I find the right tyre size for my Lotus?
Read it from the sidewall of a current tyre, the placard in the driver's door shut or fuel flap, or your V5C. Sizes vary by model, generation and trim, so confirm yours rather than assuming.
