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.

Tyres
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[1]. 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 Lotus Cars - Wheels, Brakes & Suspension page.
