Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Renault sont majoritairement des citadines et compactes européennes (Clio, Mégane, Kangoo, Zoe), généralement chaussées de jantes de 15 à 17 pouces, parfois 18 à 19 pouces sur les versions électriques ou sportives. Les entraxes courants chez Renault sont de type 4 trous sur les plus petits modèles et 5 trous sur les compactes et électriques récentes. Comme ces véhicules ne sont pas distribués officiellement au Québec, vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur le flanc du pneu et sur la jante d'origine. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires et essentiels: privilégiez des pneus hiver homologués dans la bonne dimension, idéalement montés sur un second jeu de jantes adaptées à l'entraxe et au déport du véhicule.
