Why Lotus Uses LTS Tyres

One of the most important details on the Lotus Emira is the tyre specification.

These Michelin PS4S tyres are marked:

LTS

This stands for:

Lotus Tuned Specification

Lotus works directly with Michelin to develop tyres specifically for the Emira chassis.

That means:

• Different sidewall tuning
• Different steering response
• Different load behaviour
• Different balance characteristics

Compared to a normal PS4S, the LTS version is engineered to match the way the Emira drives.

Why This Matters on Mid-Engine Cars

The Emira is extremely sensitive to tyre setup because of its:

• Mid-engine weight distribution
• Fast steering response
• Lightweight chassis
• High cornering capability

Using incorrect tyres can affect:

• front-end response
• rear stability
• braking feel
• high-speed confidence

This is why OEM-spec tyres matter.

Michelin PS4S – One of the Best Performance Tyres Available

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is known worldwide for:

• Exceptional dry grip
• Excellent wet weather stability
• Predictable handling
• High-speed confidence
• Strong steering precision

For road-focused sports cars, it remains one of the benchmark ultra-high-performance tyres available today.

Professional Tyre Installation Matters

On cars like the Lotus Emira, tyre fitting is not just about putting tyres onto wheels.

At Autosport Tyre World Magill, we focus on:

• Correct mounting procedures
• Wheel protection during installation
• Precision balancing
• Correct tyre positioning
• Careful torque procedures

Performance cars require attention to detail.

Precision Wheel Alignment After Tyre Replacement

After installation, we completed a professional 4-wheel alignment.

This is essential because even small alignment changes can affect:

• steering feel
• tyre wear
• braking stability
• cornering balance

Especially on a Lotus.

At Autosport Tyre World, we believe in sharing real alignment data publicly.

This helps:

• educate customers
