Lotus Esprit Spare Tire

The Lotus Esprit, a British sports car, comes equipped with a specially formatted spare tire, also known as a space saver or temporary spare, designed to fit within the spatial constraints of the vehicle, which due to its nature, does not have a vast amount of extra storage space. Characterized by its smaller size and lightweight feature, this spare tire is intended to replace a flat tire temporarily and should not be used for long-duration driving. Typically, the size of the Lotus Esprit's spare tire is smaller than the regular ones, with sizes such as 145/70 R15 that are capable of fitting 15-inch wheels being common. It's important to note that while this spare tire can get you to a service station or safe location to repair or replace your flat tire, it ' s not intended for regular or high-speed driving and should be replaced as soon as possible.

Lotus Esprit models manufactured from 1990 to 2004 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 23.5" to 24.4", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Lotus Esprit years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Lotus Esprit vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 22.8" to 25.1". Some Esprit models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Lotus Esprit spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
