Hi
i am trying to make an accurate web page about the Correct Renault 5 tyres Renault 5 Tyres
Here are my thoughts so far:
First Generation R5 1972 - 1985 fitted 145R13. My guess is Michelin ZX or XAS does anyone know if they fitted XAS? or differnt tread patterns.
We also have the naturally aspirated Gordini or Alpine Renault 5. I beleive 155/70R13. Do we know what tread pattern? I'm guessing XVS?
1982 Slap a Turbo on it. Why wouldn't you. Call it a R5 Alpine or an R5 GordiniI beleive again 155/70R13? I'm Guessing XVS
Then we have a Renault 5 Turbo oo yeah Stick the engine in the middle and go racing. Simples 190/55VR340 TRX front and 200/60 or 220/55VR365 TRX (we can sill do the 190 & the 220. But he 200 is out of production)
The Mid engines Renault 5 Turbo could also have 13" wheels depending on what it was doing and there are a selection of crazy Fat Michelin TB tyres for this.
1985 we have the second generation cars that have either 145/70R13, 155/70R13 or 165/65R13 tyres on them. This bit gets tricky for us as of this period, because you would specify what wheels you wanted, so standard is no longer standard if you see what i mean.
But then in 1985 we have the Renault 5 GT Turbo which fitted 195/55VR13 Michelin MXV.
If you have any more accurate details about specific fitment on individual models, details about tyre pressures, pictures related to OE tyres such as pictures of cars or those door stickers telling you about pressure, would be greatfully accepted.
