Pirelli, has officially approved 10 different tire options for the Lotus Eletre, marking the British brand's entrance into the world of electric hyper-SUVs. The Eletre will be equipped with two tire sizes, namely 22-inch (275/40R22, 315/35R22) and 23-inch (275/35R23, 315/30R23) P Zero models, both available with or without Seal Inside technology.
Additionally, there will be a 22-inch P Zero Corsa option (275/40R22, 315/35R22). These tire variations have been meticulously engineered to meet the Eletre's demanding requirements, ensuring exceptional dynamic performance, precise steering response, extended range, and optimal comfort across diverse driving conditions. Pirelli's commitment to developing top-tier tires for electric vehicles is evident through the LTS marking on the sidewalls, signifying a dedicated development program, while the Elect marking represents a suite of technologies tailored for electric cars.
"Developing high-performance tyres for a dynamic BEV like the Lotus Eletre we had to raise the technological level, to identify new solutions that meet the needs of a market that is experiencing a real revolution, faster and more challenging than ever before. As with cars, tyres are also changing in many more ways than might appear. For us it is essential to work alongside prestige car manufacturers, such as Lotus, because it allows us to imagine and then carry out this evolution together."
"During the last months we did an intensive testing on challenging tracks such as the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife and the Pirelli team did a great job to develop tyres with the absolutely right performance for our new all electric and very dynamic vehicle."
