Lotus Spare Tire

The Lotus sports car, traditionally known for its sleek design and high performance, comes equipped with a spare tire having its specific type and size. Often, the spare tire is referred to as a 'donut' or 'space-saver' which is generally smaller and lighter than a regular tire. The size of the spare tire may depend on the model of the Lotus, with some models having the tire size of 145/70R18. As Lotus designs are compact and lightweight, the spare tires are also kept light and small to maintain balance, conserve space and minimize the overall weight thus, preserving the car's fuel efficiency and speed. However, these 'donuts' are not meant for long-term use and ideally should be used for limited distances and at lower speeds until a proper tire repair or replacement can be arranged. It would be best to consult Lotus's user manual for exact spare tire type and size for specific car models.
