Lotus Eletre tyres
The Lotus Eletre runs one fitment, 255/50 R20 109W XL. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. It is staggered: a 255 section at the front and a 285 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first. The Audi Q6 e-tron takes the same size.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tyre size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | Eletre (20in, staggered) | 20in | 255/50 R20 front, 285/45 R20 rear | 109 | W | XL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
The Eletre is staggered: 255/50 at the front, 285/45 at the rear. The rear tyre carries 112, or 1,120 kg, the highest per-corner rating in this group of cars.
Only the 20 inch base fitment is listed. The 23 inch set on the S and R could not be pinned to a construction class from the sources available, so it is left out.

Every figure here comes from one tyre maker's own fitment data, checked across different years or trims. That is a second look rather than a second opinion, so check the label on your door jamb before you buy.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Lotus Eletre take?
- It runs 255/50 R20. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Lotus Eletre?
- Only at 255/50 R20 109W XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
