2010 Lotus Elise Spare Tire
The Lotus Elise, a renowned lightweight sports car, is not typically equipped with a spare tire due to its emphasis on minimalistic design and performance. In order to maximize weight reduction, the manufacturers intentionally omitted common components such as a spare wheel. Therefore, an emergency kit including a tire puncture repair kit is usually provided instead of a conventional spare tire. If Elise owners wish to have an emergency spare tire, they need to purchase it separately, with the size depending on the specific model of the vehicle. For instance, the 2005 model has front tire size of 175/55R16 and rear tire size of 225/45R17. It's recommended to consult with a professional or the vehicle's manual for accurate information regarding the proper spare tire size for a specific model of Lotus Elise.
2010 Lotus Elise comes with 2 OEM tire size options. 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. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Lotus dealership to confirm the correct 2010 Lotus Elise spare tire size.
