Vehicle model
Renault Zoe
The Renault Zoe is a B-segment electric city car launched in 2012 and produced until March 2024. A pioneer of mainstream electric mobility in Europe, it helped democratize the battery-powered car thanks to its compact size, its range that increased across versions, and its ideal use in urban settings. Very common in Europe, it was long among the best-selling electric cars before being replaced by the new Renault 5 E-Tech. The Zoe runs on roughly 15- to 17-inch wheels, with tires often optimized for efficiency and range. Not officially sold in Quebec, it requires noting the exact original tire dimension. For the Quebec winter, approved winter tires are essential, and the weight of the batteries makes proper sizing particularly important.

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.
