2008 Lotus Exige Spare Tire
The Lotus Exige, with its prominent sports car design, typically does not come with a spare tire due to its extreme focus on weight saving and performance. Instead, it usually includes a tire repair kit which can temporarily fix a puncture, allowing the car to be driven to a repair center. The tire types and sizes equipped in Exige models can vary based on the different models and the year they were released. Generally, earlier models like the Lotus Exige S1 use tires of size 195/50R15 for the front and 225/45R16 for the rear, while later models such as the Exige S3 may use 205/45R17 for the front and 265/35R18 for the rear. The suggested tire types are usually performance tires that suit the car's sporty dynamics, and the exact specifications can be found in the vehicle's manual or advised by Lotus authorized service centers.
2008 Lotus Exige comes with 1 OEM tire size option. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle.
