Editing Tyres - S1

Work In Progress

==Standard Sizes==

Although the base model Elise was originally supplied with narrower, 185/55R15 and 205/50R16 tyres, the use of the wider 195/50R15 and 225/45R16 tyres has become very common. 

The S1 Exige uses larger diameter wheels, and therefore for tyre options you should refer to the [[Tyres - S2]] Wiki entry.

===OE Fitment===

Single piece, light alloy roadwheels, in various styles, were fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres, engineered to provide the optimum balance of ride and handling characteristics. Pirelli P Zero's were the recommended tyres for use on the vehicle under normal road conditions.

Pirelli ceased manufacture of the P Zero however, and Group Lotus recommend the Yokohama C-Drive as their replacement<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/lotus/default.asp?storyId=14825 PistonHeads - Grippy tyre for the Elise released]</ref>. Note that the only way to mix tyres is with a pair of P Zeros on the front and a pair of C-Drives on the back.

You can find the official range of tyres for Lotus Cars from the S1 Elise onwards on the [http://www.lotuscars.com/gb/ownership/wheelsbrakes-suspension Lotus Cars - Wheels, Brakes & Suspension] page.
