Vehicle model
Renault Megane
The Renault Megane is a C-segment compact car that has been around since 1995. Over time it has been offered as a sedan, coupe, convertible, wagon and three- or five-door hatchback, covering a wide range of family and everyday uses. A core model in the Renault lineup, it has also offered well-regarded Renault Sport performance versions. The most recent generation includes the Megane E-Tech Electric, Renault's first fully electric C-segment car, fitted with a battery of about 60 kWh offering a range that can approach 450 km. The Megane commonly runs on 16- to 18-inch wheels, sometimes larger on the electric versions. Not sold in Quebec, it requires verification of the original tire dimension; for winter, winter tires in the correct size are essential, especially on the heavier electric versions.

Tires and wheels
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.
