QUESTION
Hi, I have an 87 Lotus Esprit Turbo HC and need to replace my now very old original and hard tyres.
Could you please let me know if I can buy the correct tyres in Australia??
D.L. - Noosa, Australia
ANSWER
The original wheel and tyre sizes for your Lotus Esprit are as follows
Front wheels - 7J x 15"
Rear wheels - 8J x 15"
Front tyres - 195/60 VR 15
Rear tyres - 235/60 VR 15
Unfortunately the original Lotus Esprit tyre sizes maybe difficult to obtain in Australia.
After carrying out some quick research via the Internet on 1/9/2012, this reveals the following tyre availability.
195/60/VR15 PIRELLI (UK supplier)
195/60/VR15 DUNLOP (UK supplier)
195/60/VR15 Michelin (UK supplier)
235/60/ZR15 Perrelli P 600 (UK supplier)
Tyre availability in Australia is very different to the UK and other tyres (with different sizes) may need to be substituted.
